- Part or all of
a spoken, or computer generated assignment copied or accessed from another
person's work

pamphlet, newspaper, computer disk, or mainframe account without given a
correct reference or citing the source

Students can be an

their computer accounts, disks, writings, ideas, or other types of work to
be copied and submitted as the work of someone else.
- Prepare an
assignment for another student and permit it to be submitted as the other
student's work.
- Contribute to a
file of essays and allow for them to be copied and submitted as other's
work.
- Incur in
unintentional plagiarism for ignoring citation standards or careless
note-taking.
