Plagiarism
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is defined in the University of California, Berkeley, Campus Code of Student Conduct as follows:
"Plagiarism is defied as the use of intellectual material produced by another person without acknowledging its source. This includes, but is not limited to:
(a.) Copying from the writings or works of others into one's academic assignment without attribution, or submitting such work as if it were one's own;
(b.) Using the views, opinions, or insights of another without acknowledgment; or
(c.) Paraphrasing the characteristic or original phraseology, metaphor, or other literary device of another without proper attribution."
Plagiarism is a serious violation of academic and student conduct rules and is punishable at most universities and colleges with a failing grade and possibly more severe action.
