Plagiarism is offering someone else's work as your own, whether one sentence or whole paragraphs, and whether from an internet source, book, periodical, or the writing of other students. Failing to cite a source intentionally or accidentally is plagiarism. Penalties for plagiarism range from failing the assignment to failing the course. Universities and colleges often expel student caught plagiarising depending on the seriousness of the breach of academic integrity.
