AVOIDING PLAGIARISM
AVOIDING PLAGIARISM
Writing an essay or presentation? How do I make sure to avoid plagiarism?
WHAT IS PLAGIARISM? This is any time that you use someone else's words, pictures, graphics, data and claim them as your own by either failing to quote or cite the information properly.
HERE is a LOOM video that I made to try and assist with this idea more clearly.
Here are some valuable ideas:
Is what you are writing entirely your own thoughts and words?
Could you write the paper/essay/presentation "with your eyes closed"?
Did you use or need to research other sources? REMEMBER this is a good skill to have and I highly encourage using your resources
Follow THIS really helpful flowchart guide from Purdue Owl Resources
When in doubt...CITE (at a minimum, you need to provide the website source, but MLA is great practice)
There are lots of great citation tools: Purdue OWL, EasyBib, CitationMachine

Remember that it is OK to reference other sources and the lesson, but the assignment that you submit must be your own work on paper or digitally.
It is always good practice to cite a resource if you use it to complete an assignment (even a diagram).
