Plagiarism means that you publish other people's work as your own. Plagiarism is regarded as cheating and is strictly forbidden. Plagiarism or cheating results in you failing your paper and that you may be expelled from the university for a longer or shorter period.

Remember, it is not allowed to either copy from books, articles, nor to use the “cut and paste” method with electronic resources (e-books, electronic articles, the Internet, etc) without writing where you found the information, that is - referring to the source.
