Sometimes called a “correction,” this type of paraphrase, whether intentional or not, is academically dishonest and punishable - even if you make a footnote to your source! Mosaic plagiarism occurs when a student borrows phrases from a source without using quotations or finds synonyms for the author’s language while maintaining the same general structure and meaning of the original. The intentional stealing of someone else's work is unethical, academically dishonest and the basis for disciplinary action, including expulsion. Direct plagiarism is the literal transcription of part of someone else’s work, without attribution and quotation.
