Plagiarism
Summarizing

What might happen:
Sometimes, you will find a large piece of information that you want to use in your assignment. So, you summarize the information in one or two sentences, but don't indicate where you got the original idea from.

STOP! This is considered plagiarism!
  Even though you have summarized a large piece of information into one or two sentences, the main idea still belongs to someone else. So if you don't give credit to the original author, this is like stealing someone else's idea.
