Plagiarism is "the un-credited use (both intentional and unintentional) of somebody else's words or ideas." According to UC Berkeley's Code of Student Conduct, Section V.102.01, plagiarism is academic misconduct, and is grounds for disciplinary sanctions, including a failing grade, suspension or dismissal from the University.
You probably know that:
* copying a friend's homework,
* paying someone to write a term paper for you,
* or copying large sections of text and claiming it as your own work...
* are all examples of plagiarism.
But did you also know that:
* paraphrasing someone else's idea without giving credit is also plagiarism?
* many professors use software that can help detect plagiarized material from the Web or other sources in students' assignments?
* that academic misconduct cases at UC Berkeley have increased more than 250% over the last ten years?*
