3-What is paraphrasing?

Plagiarism is when you take someone else’s ideas/words and put it down as your own. Plagiarism can also be if you write a paper and hand it in multiple times. You can even plagiarize by buying a paper off someone or using information from a source and then not citing it.

You can avoid plagiarizing by putting quotations on all the text that from a source or you could cover up the text with your hand and try to put it into your own words.

Paraphrasing is when you use someone’s idea but you change a few words. A lot of the time on the internet you go on a website, look at the information and then you start writing that information down but you want it to look like it’s your work, so you change a few words.
