How does one commit plagiarism??

4. Verbatim Plagiarism
If you copy language word for word from another source and use that language in your paper, you are plagiarizing verbatim
Even if you write down your own ideas in your own words and place them around text that you've drawn directly from a source, you must give credit to the author of the source material.
For many classes, demonstrating you have read and used other sources is a mandatory part to creating your essay. However, you need to make sure you that you have cited that source correctly. You haven’t: it is plagiarism. Even well intentioned incorrect citations, is plagiarism.

5. Mosaic Plagiarism
If you copy bits and pieces from a source (or several sources), changing a few words here and there without either adequately paraphrasing or quoting directly, the result is mosaic plagiarism.
Even if you don't intend to copy the source, you may end up committing this type of plagiarism as a result of careless note-taking
That is why it is important to clarify your sources right from the beginning to confusion over where your source's ideas end and your own ideas begin.
You may think that you've paraphrased sufficiently, or quoted relevant passages, but if you haven't taken careful notes along the way, or if you've cut and pasted from your sources, you can lose track of the boundaries between your own ideas and those of your sources.
It's not enough to have good intentions and to cite some of the material you use.

6. Uncited Paraphrase
When you use your own language to describe someone else's idea, that idea still belongs to the author of the original material.
It's not enough to paraphrase the source material responsibly; you also need to cite the source, even if you have changed the wording significantly.
The rule of thumb here is simple: Whenever you use ideas that you did not think up yourself, you need to give credit to the source in which you found them, whether you quote directly from that material or provide a responsible paraphrase.

7. Inadequate Paraphrase
Paraphrasing is when you desire to convey the points the author is making in roughly the same amount of detail but in your own words, but since the ideas belong to the author, not only must you cite your paraphrase, you must paraphrase it correctly.
It's not enough to change a few words here and there and leave the rest; instead, you must completely restate the ideas in the passage in your own words. If your own language is too close to the original, then you are plagiarizing, even if you do provide a citation.

8. Self Plagiarism
Don’t copy yourself. It is expected that you write original pieces every time that produce an essay.

9. QPS
Quote:
When you put source material in quotation marks in your essay, you are telling your reader that you have drawn that material from somewhere else.
”source’s exact words”
=author’s ideas
=cite

your words
=author’s ideas
=MUCH shorter (only the highlights/NO detail) =>
=cite

13. The Original Passage from University College Writing Centre Toronto
The focus of your essay should be on your understanding of the topic. If you include too much quotation in your essay, you will crowd your own ideas. Consider quoting a passage from one of your sources if any of the following conditions holds:
The language of the passage is particularly elegant or powerful or memorable.
You wish to confirm the credibility of your argument by enlisting the support of an authority on your topic.
The passage is worthy of further analysis.
You wish to argue with someone else's position in considerable detail.
