A teacher in my school thinks it's perfectly fine to copy and paste from sources such as wikipedia as long as they create a bibliography, I personally have no experience with bibliographies, but, it just seems odd that plagiarism is accepted in that circumstance?

Definition of plagiarism: 1. the verbatim copying or imitation of the language, ideas, or thoughts of another author and representing them as one’s own original work. If you make a bibliography, and footnote the copied text, you are not representing the copy as your own creation.
