Plagiarism: Example #6

1. Copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not
   • Example: Jet wrote a sentence or two, then quoted a paragraph from an article. She then wrote another sentence, then copied and pasted another paragraph or two into her paper. She continued to do this until most of the article she was using was in her paper, and she wrote only a little bit of the paper. She included a reference list where she cited the article before turning into her instructor.

The images below and to the left shows the paper Jet wrote. The paragraphs from the article she used are highlighted.

Jet did cite the paragraphs and included the article in her reference list, but because the article makes up most of her paper, she won't get credit for the paper.

Jet is CHEATING. She has plagiarized the article.
