A Definition of Plagiarism:
Plagiarism is when you fail to indicate when you are using someone else’s ideas, whether
you’ve quoted the idea directly, or if you’ve rephrased it into your own words. Either way, you
must cite your source clearly, so that a reader can identify where you found your information. If
you don’t do this, it is considered plagiarism, and is taken very seriously by San Jacinto
Community College.
