What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone else’s words or ideas as your own. According to A Pocket Style Manual, there are three actions that are considered plagiarism when assimilating information from any outside source. Plagiarism includes the following:

a. “failing to cite quotations and borrowed ideas”
b. “failing to include borrowed language in quotation marks”
c. “failing to put summaries and paraphrases in your own words” (Hacker 110).
