      Hi Daisy. Plagiarism is the the stealing of other peoples work and ideas – and using it as if it was your own. I think that also includes cheating off other peoples exams and coursework. Universities have got very fed up with students plagiarising work of the internet, so they use software to scan in your work and see if you’ve just copied Wikipedia…
