Scholarly Misconduct |  | Did not use quotation marks... |
|  |  | The student did not have to use quotation marks because she paraphrased the material (put into her own words someone else’s idea). However, as she used someone else’s idea, even though paraphrased, she was required to cite the source. By not doing so, the student could be accused of plagiarism; that is, she was representing the work of someone else as her own by failing to cite the source completely and accurately.
