Plagiarism: Its Impact and Importance for College Students and the Scholarly Process

Defining Plagiarism

According to the MLA Handbook, Seventh Ed (p 52):

"Plagiarism involves two kind of wrongs. Using another person's ideas, information, or expressions without acknowledging that person's work constitutes intellectual theft. Passing off another person's ideas, information, or expressions as your own to get a better grade or gain some advantage constitutes fraud."
