. Designed using canva.
1 Complete plagiarism: this is the complete copying of other's work word with word, paragraph with paragraph, picture with picture,without any slightest changed.
E.g Plagiarism is presenting work or ideas from another source as your own, with or without consent of the original author, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition, as is the use of material generated wholly or in part through use of artificial intelligence (save when use of Artificial Intelligence - AI for assessment has received prior authorisation e.g. as a reasonable adjustment for a student’s disability). Plagiarism can also include re-using your own work without citation. Under the regulations for examinations, intentional or reckless plagiarism is a disciplinary offence.
Above is an example of complete plagiarism because there's no source or double quotes" " and it copied word with word.
2 Direct plagiarism : Direct plagiarism is same like complete plagiarism except that it has to do with the amount of information copied, in this type not all information are copy.
E.g Plagiarism is presenting work or ideas from another source as your own, with or without consent of the original author, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement.
Above is an example of Direct plagiarism because the information is copied directly only that the information is short.
3 Paraphrasing or Mosaic plagiarism :in this type of plagiarism the students borrows phrases from the original content without citing the source of the phrase or quoting it in " ".
4 Self plagiarism : just like the name imply it is the plagiarism you make as a result of copying you own work which was published and used it in another work without citing your source. If you think you can used your own work as you like without citing your source you should know you are wrong by now.
