Academic Integrity: Understanding Plagiarism

What is Plagiarism?


MCC asserts plagiarism is representing, intentionally or unintentionally, the words or ideas of another as one's own work in any academic exercise without correctly acknowledging its source. It is the responsibility of the student to understand the instructor's expectations within each course.
