What is plagiarism? "Plagiarism is using someone else's text as one's own without having precise source references." The definition is from the tutorial Stop Plagiarism

Plagiarism means that you leave a text illustration, a structure or an idea, etc. appear as your own work.

A plagiarism can, for example, be a book based on transcripts of entire paragraphs or several sentences from the same text without credit and indication of source.

You can avoid plagiarism by always referring correctly to the sources you use in your assignments, reports, etc.

At KU, cheating is taken very seriously. If a student is caught cheating, it will be reported to the dean, who with a recommendation forwards the matter to the principal. This can have serious consequences for the individual.

If you are in doubt about whether you comply with the rules for plagiarism, you should contact your teacher or your professional supervisor.
