Stephen Wilhoit’s article titled "Helping Students Avoid Plagiarism" in College Teaching (Fall 1994, pages161-164) lists the following types of plagiarism:

• "Buying a paper for a research service or term paper mill.
• Turning in another student's work without that student's knowledge.
• Turning in a paper a peer has written for the student.
• Copying a paper from a source text without proper acknowledgment.
• Copying materials from a source text, supplying proper documentation, but leaving out quotation marks.
• Paraphrasing materials from a source text without appropriate documentation. "

And, now with the Internet, we need to add another type of plagiarism:

• Turning in a paper from a "free term paper" web site.
