Any time you are copying words from a source without putting them in quotes you are engaged in plagiarism. Avoid the temptation to closely paraphrase books, for example by taking phrases from an article or book, changing one or two connecting words, and stringing them together to form part of your paper this is plagiarism. Write in your own words and use quotes where appropriate. If you have questions about academic dishonesty, the College of Liberal Arts provides information about this both online and offline.
