      As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off as one's own the idea, words, writings, etc., which belong to another.  In accordance with this definition, you are committing plagiarism if you copy the work of another person and turn it in as your own, even if you should have the permission of that person.  Plagiarism is one of the worst academic sins since the plagiarist destroys the trust among colleagues without which research work cannot be safely communicated.
