Plagiarism
Plagiarism is when you take someones work and say it is your and don't give them credit. There are two different types of plagiarism one is intentional that is when you copy your friends home work and when you copy and past something from a web site and say it is yours and don't give credit. The other type is unintentional that is when you use to many quotes or when you have a poor citation. You can avoid plagiarism by citing your sources and if you copy a sentence word for word but it in quotation marks.
