* Copying text directly from a source without using quotation marks or citing the source.
* Paraphrasing someone else's work without citing the source.
* Submitting someone else's work as your own.
* Using someone else's ideas without giving them credit.
Plagiarism is a serious academic and professional offense, and it can have serious consequences, including:
* Failing a grade.
* Suspension or expulsion from school.
* Loss of a job.
* Damage to your reputation.
It's important to always cite your sources properly and to avoid plagiarizing others' work. If you're unsure about how to cite something, ask your teacher or professor for help.
