   1. turning in someone else's work as your own
   2.     copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit
   3.     failing to put a quotation in quotation marks
   4.     giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
   5.     changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
   6.     copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on "fair use" rules)
