What Is Plagiarism?

The University of Manitoba wants to make sure all students credit their sources, and do their own work. Plagiarism occurs when students or other people use or copy other people's work or ideas without citing them in a bibliography or by some other method.

You must also be careful not to copy other students' work and ideas. You cannot work with other students on projects unless it has been approved by your professor. Inappropriate collaboration is also considered plagiarism, and is punishable at the University of Manitoba. It is your responsibility to avoid plagiarism.
