Plagiarism - why is this on your science page? Well, some of you are stating other's ideas as your own, in your essays and your lab reports. Plagiarism is a serious offense, and can result in failure and expulsion. Obviously, in junior high, you are just learning how to write, but you MUST use your own words. So, if you are in doubt, use this website to check your work, because I will. I will NOT accept your work if you have plagiarized. This includes using another student's work as your own. (So stop copying in the hallways before school!)
