Unit 8: What is it?

Plagiarism is when you copy someone else’s work or use their ideas in your essay, course work, or thesis and then do not acknowledge what you have done.

Definitions:

Plagiarism - the presentation of the work of another as if it was one’s own independent work or any improper use of sources which seeks to gain an unfair advantage

We use the Turnitin system at GCU, this is an online system which checks coursework for instances of plagiarism. It is highly effective and widely used in UK univiersities. This means that you won't get away with it!
