           **what is plagiarism?**

• plagiarism means to steal and pass off or show off the idea of another person without citing the source.even if you paraphrase the word you still have to cite the source.

Types of plagiarism
Plagiarism takes various dimensions and I will be listing them out.

• • Copy and paste: means using a paragraph from another source without citation.if you want to use a paragraph from another source word to word you should learn how to quote it.

• • Mosaic Plagiarism: copying and pasting different type of text to form mosaic of other researchers idea is called plagiarism.

• • Self Plagiarism: this occurs when you use part of your old work without citing it you are committing what is known as Self Plagiarism. It sounds crazy to be penalized for Plagiarizing your own work, it is done because it goes against the expectation of the readers they expect your work to be original

• • Global Plagiarism: this occurs when you use someone's paper and pretend as if it is your work.
