From the Langara College Code of Academic Conduct:
Plagiarism is the presentation of another person's or source's words and/or images and/or ideas as if they were one's own. It ranges from an entire assignment which is not the student's own work to specific passages within an assignment taken from a source without acknowledgement. For plagiarism to occur, intent is not necessary; plagiarism can be either intentional or unintentional. In either case, it is unacceptable.
Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to: (a) directly quoting the words of others without using quotation marks or indented format to identify them; or (b) using sources of information (published or unpublished) without identifying them; or (c) paraphrasing materials or ideas of others without identifying the sources.
Avoid plagiarism by properly citing your sources!
