Plagiarism is when you copy off from either a person’s work, or a website, without giving credit to the author that wrote it before you. You can be using their idea or their words. You could also be downloading or buying a paper on your subject online, or using a paper you wrote a long time ago. It means you take their idea, and then you turn it into your own.

How you can avoid plagiarism is by simply putting in brackets saying the author’s name and their quotes that they may have written. You must give credit to the author whenever you use their ideas or opinions. (Be sure to also give credit even if you use a photo). Write down some new ideas on your topic, and use those. As long as you cite whose information it is, then you’re fine.

Paraphrase means you redo or reword from what someone else has written. It is when you take someone’s idea or opinion, but switch the words around to make it seem like its yours. Again, if you’re going to use anybody’s ideas or opinions you must cite them.

Why climbing is a challenge and all the things that could go wrong.

Getting lost

Injuring yourself

Coming across dangerous animals

Climbing a mountain is an extreme challenge. There are many things that can go terribly wrong. Either, you can follow the wrong path, and get lost. You can also severely injure yourself. Or even come across dangerous and unwanted creatures.

While climbing you might find yourself taking the wrong trail. If you do so, you will loose your way and have to retrace your steps. If you go the wrong way then you might end up in a complete different location, causing much confusion among you and your fellow hiking companions. Loosing your way is a big issue for climbers.

Climbing is also associated with injury, which is fairly true. Whenever you climb, there is a chance you will slip, fall and damage something. Mountains are not very safe environments, so you must be incredibly cautious when climbing along these areas, you could break a bone or two if you don't. Pain and injury is a common issue for climbers.

Whenever in mountain ranges, you should keep your eyes peeled for threatening animals such as bears, delusional deer, mountain goats or cougars. These and many more are dangerous animals that you do not want to come across while peacefully climbing up a mountain. They would most likely bring your journey and life to a tragic end. Dangerous animals are also threats to climbers.

Mountain climbing is very risky. Many unfortunate events can happen to you while doing so, and you will find yourself in perilous situations. You could loose your way. Injure yourself. Meet carnivorous creatures and more. These are just a few reasons why mountain climbing is a dangerous challenge.

Plagiarism is when someone uses information, graphics, quotes and more from someone else without giving credit to the original writer . It is when you take someone's idea and pretend it is your own.

To avoid plagiarism there are a few strategies you can take on. Some of these are: always put in quotation anything coming from the text, put in brackets the name of the writer of all quotes coming directly from a text or a person's oral statement or lecture. Also reread the text and rewrite the idea in your own words. Check your paraphrases and compare it to the original text, to make sure the idea is the same but not the manner you wrote it.

Paraphrasing is when you use someone's idea but rephrase it in your own words. This is an important skill that will be of great use throughout your academic experience. Even though you rearranged the words, you still ought to acknowledge and give credit to the source of your information.- Salome

Plagiarism: What It Is and How to Avoid It

All the information is from the IU code of student rights, responsibilities, and conduct.

Plagiarism is using other people's ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of information.

To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use another person’s idea, opinion, or theory by putting quotation marks on everything that comes directly from the text. Also give credit when you are using quotations from another person’s spoken or written ideas or words. You must also give credit when you use facts, statistics, graphs, drawings or any other pieces of information that are not common knowledge. Another way to avoid plagiarism is to paraphrase the information. Paraphrasing is a good strategy to avoid plagiarism.

Paraphrasing is when the writer uses his/her own words and let’s the reader know the source of information. Paraphrasing is not just rearranging or replacing a few words. All the information from the original writing must be recorded accurately. To paraphrase the writer must indicate which parts are taken directly from the source by putting them in quotation marks and citing the page numbers. It is good to check your paraphrase against the original text to make sure you have not accidentally used the same words, and that the information is accurate.
