Definition:
According to the Student Code of Conduct by the University of Windsor, plagiarism is defined as “the act of copying, reproducing or paraphrasing portions of someone else’s published or unpublished material (from any source, including the internet), without proper acknowledgement.”
Plagiarism applies to all intellectual endeavors, including the creation and presentation of music, drawings, designs, dance, photography, and other artistic and technical works. In the case of oral presentations, the use of material that is not one’s own, without proper acknowledgment or attribution, constitutes plagiarism and, hence, academic dishonesty.
More information about plagiarism and appropriate acknowledgement of sources can be found at the Office of Academic Integrity: Academic Integrity (uwindsor.ca) and from the Senate Graduate Studies Policy on Plagiarism.
