According to Diccionario de la Real Academia
Espaola Plagiarism is the action of substantially
copying other people's works, presenting them as
own creation." Therefore, plagiarism is a serious
offense; academically speaking it is equivalent to
theft. A student who plagiarizes does not take his
education seriously, and does not respect the
intellectual work of others.

There is no small plagiarism. Using any portion of


another person's work, without acknowledging the
author or source is plagiarism. Now, it is evident
that we all take some ideas from others when it
comes to presenting ours, and that our knowledge
is based on someone elses knowledge. But when
Plagiarism
we rely on the work of others, academic honesty
policy
requires that we explicitly announce the fact that
we are using an external source, either by citing
or by paraphrasing (these terms will be defined
below). When we cite or paraphrase, we clearly
identify our source, not only to give recognition to
its author, but also to allow the reader to look up
in a reference text.

There are certain academic events in which it is


not acceptable to quote or paraphrase the work of
others. For instance, if a teacher assigns his or
her students a task in which they are clearly
required to answer using their own ideas and
words, then the student should not consider
external sources regardless if they are properly
referenced.
