Avoiding Plagiarism Tutorial
Read the Fine Print
Rating
0.0 stars

Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work as your own. It can include copying and pasting text from a website into a project that you're working on, or taking an idea from a book without including a citation to give credit to the book's author. Plagiarism is very common, and the internet has made it even more common. However, if you are careful to cite your sources, it's not too hard to avoid plagiarism.

We challenge you to go beyond using the popular search engines. This instruction will help you discover what there is to learn about information skills.
