What does plagiarize mean?
to use the words or ideas of another
person as if they were your own
words or ideas
(Merriam-Webster, m-w.com)
![Page 3: Plagiarism: What it is & how to avoid it](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022022414/587333111a28ab596c8b6f93/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Plagiarism can happen if you:
Copy someone else’s words
Change someone else’s words only a
little bit
Forget to give a citation
Sometimes plagiarism is intentional,
but often it’s accidental.

What happens if you plagiarize
in an academic assignment?
Depending on the school’s policy, you may:
Have to rewrite the paper
Get a grade of zero on the paper
Fail the course, or
Get expelled from the school!
American schools take plagiarism
very seriously!

establishing the spaces as the domain of
pedestrians.
