Plagiarism

Plagiarism is when one person uses someone else's idea without clearly stating who's idea it was.


Some ways to avoid plagiarism are:
  • Not using other peoples exact words without giving credit.
  • Putting quotation marks around the exact words written by someone else.
  • Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is a way to avoid plagiarizing because paraphrasing is when you put certain words in your own words. This will only end in a successful essay without any plagiarism.
