"Plagiarism:" Plagiarism is representation of the words and ideas of another as one's own in any academic exercise. Plagiarism includes failing to give a citation for using work from any other person or source. Modifications and rephrasings do not reduce the requirement for giving a citation. This also applies to information obtained electronically, such as from the Internet." ( p.29 of the Georgian Court Undergraduate Catalog)
