Plagiarism:

In the United States, plagiarism is a very serious offensive (crime).

Plagiarism is copying the words that someone else wrote or said in a book, in a newspaper, on a website, or in a speech. Here is part of Willamette University's plagiarism policy:

 

"Plagiarism, a form of cheating, consists of representing someone else’s work as one’s own. . . . . A faculty member may impose penalties for plagiarism and cheating ranging from a grade reduction on an assignment or an exam to failure [F] in the course. A faculty member also may suggest that the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts initiate further action."

so .... write using your own words and tell where you got your information
