__________ is the act of using someone else's ideas, words, or images without giving credit to the original source.
Plagiarism
*can be intentional or accidental. It can vary in severity, from reusing an entire work to reusing a sentence or paragraph.

Ask yourself-If you wouldn't know something without reading it, you should list the source.
