Most of students were engaged from reading books or simply studying the other people's idea. By simply hearing our professor lecture, reading some textbooks which we all later on transfer into our own writing. This simple thing is a form of Plagiarism as we use other's idea without their acknowledgment or using them as a source.
There were tons of definition of plagiarism which makes people confuse on what it really means. The UNC Honor Court defines Plagiarism as "the deliberate or reckless representation of another's words, thoughts, or ideas as one's own without attribution in connection with submission of academic work, whether graded or otherwise.
Accidental vs. Intentional Plagiarism
Do you believe that there was really an accidental Accidental Plagiarism?
This was the usual excuse or circumtances probably happened on every student. Since not all are aware on what was Plagiarism, some were doing it without knowing that is was already a form of Plagiarism.
All students have thesis or any paper works. Doing your paper works from other's idea and not mentioning on the bibliography or reference the real author behind it is a big No No! We should write them as our source or give a credit for the one who really wrote it.
Borrowing your classmate's term paper may consider as Intentional Plagiarism.
You may have the permission but for sure you will have your classmate's ideas and just edit or collaborate it with your ideas.
Another thing, using internet is a big and real form of Plagiarism. Searching your project on the net and simply copy and paste it. Students tend to do research and organize the ideas you've found through research.
