Plagiarism is using someone else's words or ideas and claiming them as your own, either intentionally or unintentionally. You are committing plagiarism by:
• Buying, stealing, or borrowing a paper to copy from.
• Hiring someone to write your paper for you.
• Copying from another source without citing them.
• Using a source too closely when paraphrasing.
• Building on someone else's ideas without citation.
