Plagiarism
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is 'kidnapping' the work of someone else and using it as if it is your own. This includes directly quoting someone without giving credit, or it could be using another's idea without giving credit. In whatever form, it is always unethical and unacceptable.
How can I make sure I'm not plagiarizing?
One of the best ways to avoid plagiarizing is to take organized notes and make sure to cite all of your sources thoroughly and correctly; this means citing any source that you quote, summarize, or paraphrase. If you are unsure about whether or not to cite—cite it! You will not get in trouble for citing, but you can for not citing when you need to. When in doubt, cite it!
