Bad practice occurs when a student cites another persons work but fails to properly attribute that work. Bad practice also occurs when a student paraphrases another persons work without due attribution. Unlike proper plagiarism, there is no attempt to deceive and there is usually some attempt at attributing the work (for example, including quotation marks around the borrowed text or some vague reference: It has been claimed).
