• Plagiarism: Penn's Code of Academic Integrity prohibits "Plagiarism: using the ideas, data, or language of another without specific or proper acknowledgment. Example: copying another person's paper, article, or computer work and submitting it for an assignment, cloning someone else's ideas without attribution, failing to use quotation marks where appropriate, etc." Here's one helpful elaboration of this policy, and here is another.
