• Copy/Pasting
  
• Minor Tweaking

Plagiarism, or giving the impression that another's work is your own, is a violation of Goshen College's academic integrity policy. Consequences for individual offenses may range from re-doing the assignment to dismissal from the college. See the GC Commitment to Community Standards for more information about specific responses to academic dishonesty.
