It can include • Plagiarism: The adoption or reproduction of ideas or words or statements of another person without due acknowledgment. • Fabrication: The falsification of data, information, or citations in any formal academic exercise. • Deception: Providing false information to an instructor concerning a formal academic exercise—e.g., giving a false excuse for missing a deadline or falsely claiming to have submitted work. • Cheating: Any attempt to give or obtain assistance in a formal academic exercise (like an examination) without due acknowledgment. • Sabotage: Acting to prevent others from completing their work. This includes cutting pages out of library books or willfully disrupting the experiments of others. (Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
