You quote it, you note it - Plagiarism Plagiarism isn't just copying someone else's work and saying that it's your own. It is also: - Having a friend write a paper for him or using someone else’s paper as his own. - Submitting one of his own papers or assignments for more than one class. - Downloading or buying a term paper from the web. Doing these things could end with you failing.
