PLAGIARISM

PLAGIARISM: The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

DIRECT PLAGIARISM: It is the word -for -word transcription of a section of someone else's work , without attribution and without quotation marks. The deliberate plagiarism of someone else's work is unethical, academically dishonest, and grounds for disciplinary actions, including expulsion.

SELF PLAGIARISM: It occurs when a student submits his or her own previous work, or mixes parts of previous works, without permission of all professors involved .for example, it would be unacceptable to incorporate part of a term paper you wrote in high school into a paper assigned in a college course. Many students submit their assignments by copying the writing and ideas of his or friend. we must not submit work for the assignment that we have already submitted (partially or in full ).

MOSAIC PLAGIARISM: It occurs when a student borrows phrases from a source without using quotation marks or finds synonyms for the author's language while keeping to the same general structure and meaning of the original. Sometimes called patchwriting, this kind of paraphrasing, whether intentional or not, is academically dishonest and punishable even if you footnote your sources.

ACCIDENTAL PLAGIARISM: It occurs when a person neglects to cite their sources or misquotes their sources, or unintentionally paraphrases a source by using similar words , groups of words , and /or sentence  structure without attribution .students must learn how to cite their sources and to take careful and accurate notes when doing research 

PARAPHRASING : Paraphrasing the work of others by altering a few words and changing their order is plagiarism if we do not give due acknowledgment to the author whose work you are using. we must clearly acknowledge all assistance which has contributed to the production of our work.

cutting and pasting from the internet without clear acknowledgment is also plagiarism.
