The Definition of Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a breach of ethical standards. Passing off someone else's words or thoughts as your own is unacceptable in all areas. Recently, two top editors at the New York Times resigned when it was revealed that a journalist in their workforce had plagiarized many of the articles he had written. It is a very serious offense.
At NYU Tandon School of Engineering, the Code of Conduct defines plagiarism as intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one's own in any academic exercise; failure to attribute direct quotation, paraphrase, or borrowed facts or information.
