A word about plagiarism:

Plagiarism is when you use someone else's words or ideas and pass them off as if they belong to you. You wouldn't want to someone to take credit for your work, so you shouldn't do it either. It's important to learn how to give credit for the resources you use and we'll learn the proper way to research.
