PLAGIARISM : This is the deliberate act of copying someone else's work,text,Ideas or masterpiece and presenting it as one's own, without creditation to the original owner

The following are forms of plagiarism

Turning in someone's work as your own

Copying and pasting the original work in it's exact words

Recopying your own words, instead of writing a whole new piece on the same topic

Quoting of non existing or incorrect source

Direct plagiarism: stealing or copying someone's work verbatim.
