What is Plagiarism?

If you use (copy, cut & paste) someone else's ideas, thoughts or words without giving that person PROPER CREDIT, you are guilty of PLAGIARISM. Sounds simple, right? But is it?

Find out how Georgetown University defines plagiarism, then test your skills with this Plagiarism Quiz (courtesy of Ted Frick, Indiana University, 2006)

Humanities classes (English Language Arts and social studies) use MLA style for citation. Most science, math, and technology classes use the APA  format.  Check with your teacher to see what is required. Get quick and easy examples at MLA Citation Style and APA Citation Style; or click on Citation Machine. Questions? Ask your teacher or friendly librarian!
