    another person’s work as something one has written, paraphrasing another’s writing without
    proper acknowledgement, or representing another’s artistic or technical work or creation as one’s
    own.  Any use of the work of others, whether published, unpublished or posted electronically,
    attributed or anonymous, must include proper acknowledgement.
