The definition of plagiarism is using, borrowing, or claiming written work that is not one’s own. There are several different ways to plagiarizing, however the three main ways are exact wording, paraphrasing, and reassembling a phrase (mirroring). There are unfortunately, some few people that plagiarize and do not even know it. Plagiarism is preventable and is mainly caused by poor management of time, which pressures people to then plagiarize.
