information unethically in any way. |

else's work as your own, including that of tutors,
friends, parents, or siblings or paraphrasing without
giving credit to the source.

papers or papers from the internet written by someone
else.

plagiarize by giving them your work, even if you don't
think it will be copied.

ideas without giving credit to the original source.

other people's ideas and even paraphrase or quote their
words, but you MUST give them credit. Use
phrases such as "According to..." and "In the book...".
On a bibliography page, cite ALL of the sources from which
you gathered information from in a bibliography. Correct bibliography format will be
