 PLAGIARISM

  • an act of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author 
  • without authorization and the representation of that author’s work as one’s own, as by not crediting the original author

THINGS THAT CONSIDER PLAGIARISM :
  • CHANGE someone else’s work as your own 
  • copying WORDS or IDEAS from someone else (without giving credit)
  • NOT put a quotation in quotation marks 
  • giving INCORRECT INFORMATION (the source of a quotation)
  • CHANGING WORDS but copying the sentence structure of a source (without giving credit)
  • COPYING so many words or ideas 

HOW TO PREVENT ?

  1. Consult Your Instructor/Lecturer 
  2. Plan Your Paper 
  3. Take Effective Notes

  • WRITING YOUR PAPER

  2. Make It Clear Who Said What
