You may have heard so many different definitions of plagiarism that you feel confused about exactly what it is.

Why are my instructors so concerned about plagiarism?

In order to understand plagiarism, it helps to understand the process of sharing and creating ideas in the university

What about "common knowledge"?
In every professional field, experts consider some ideas "common knowledge," but remember that you're not a professional

What about paraphrasing?
Paraphrasing means taking another person's ideas and putting those ideas in your own words.

I am usally very careful to link to others words that I post. the reason being , it's against TFS TOS to use others words / writings with out acknowledging they are someone else.
I was pretty bored a while ago and just for the heck of it I googled
plagiarism.
-------------------------



Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense:



Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary


?to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
?to use (another's production) without crediting the source
?to commit literary theft
?to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.


But can words and ideas really be stolen?

According to U.S. law, the answer is yes

I'm positive sure there are some people here on TFS that are just so smart that they will think this thread is childish and a waste of space. And thats just real good and fine. As it turns out there is alot more to this topic than what I thought . I'm one of them folks that thought it was simply copying an other's work with out giving credit where credits due.

The Kudos was for 'Funny', because I plagiarised your statement about plagiarism.

Or am I missing your point?
