Plagiarism
Plagiarism occurs when you present the work of others as your own. Consequences for plagiarism can be severe and may be applied even after the student has graduated. In some instances, universities have revoked previously awarded degrees from former students, professors, or practitioners upon discovery of plagiarized theses or professional papers.
The University of Michigan's Sweetland Center for Writing has published an excellent resource for students entitled "Beyond Plagiarism: Best Practices for the Responsible Use of Sources".
Bakersfield College provides this 3-minute video explaining plagiarism.
