What is plagiarism? “Intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one’s own in any academic exercise. ... Plagiarism also encompasses the notions of citing quotations and materials from secondary sources that were not directly consulted in the preparation of the student’s work, and copying the organizational and argumentational structure of a work without acknowledging its author.” (from SMU Honor Code, Southern Methodist University)
