You are placed in groups to work on a large project. the first time your group meets, you discuss the assignment and you each take a piece of the project to complete. after the compiled project is submitted, you are surprised to learn your group is asked to speak to the instructor about potential plagiarism in one of the sections. can you be charged with plagiarism even if your section is properly referenced?

I would say yes.

This is because of the name itself -- a "group" project. It's not a "solo" or an "alone" project. You are responsible for the other people's work in your group. It is important to make sure everyone contributes their own work in a group project, and not someone else's.

Best of luck
