Plagiarism takes many forms, but the most common on college campuses include:
- downloading a research paper
- purchasing a paper from a commercial paper mill
- copying a paper from a friend or classmate
- copying an article from the web or an online journal or database
- cutting and pasting information from different sources to create one document
- faking a citation
- submitting a paper for one class that you have previously used in another class
