How can you avoid plagiarism?
To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever
you
quote from someone's actual spoken or written words
use another person's ideas, opinions, or theories in an assignment or essay
make use of pieces of information, such as statistics, graphs, drawings,
that are not common knowledge
paraphrase another person's spoken or written words
How can you avoid unintentional plagiarism?
Use quotation marks around everything that comes directly from a text or
article
Try to summarise ideas and arguments in your own words - don't just
rearrange a few words here and there
Check that you have correctly paraphrased and acknowledged the original
ideas
Check your summary against the original text
