“IT’S NOT PLAGIARISM IF YOU”RE QUOTING!!!!”

It’s not quoting if you’re not citing the source. It’s just plagiarism.

I agree. When I wrote my master's thesis, the advisor didn't want me to put any original thoughts in it. It became a collection of quotes from others. As long as you make the proper attributions it's acceptable.

Even then it’s still not plagiarism, it’s an undocumented quotation. Let’s get our terms right, we don’t want to be disparaging.

Quite right, if you attribute the quote. I think she failed to properly footnote or otherwise acknowledge that short section in a large thesis. I do not believe that she intentionally did so.
