Plagiarism- using someone elses words or ideas without permission; "the act of taking ideas and/or expression of ideas of another person and representing them as one's own. It is nothing less than an act of theft"

How to prevent and avoid plagiarism:
- change both the words and the sentence structure
- identify the source and signal phrase
- Include parentetical phrase, footnote, provide documentation
- when in doubt, cite it anyway
- double and triple check!
