Plagiarism

Is using others’ ideas and

words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.

Plagiarism

To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use another person’s idea, opinion, or theory; any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings—any

pieces of information—that are not common knowledge;

quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words;

paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.

How to avoid Plagiarism?

On most college campuses,

teachers use software programs to help detect work that may be plagiarized.

Technology in Plagiarism

Select a gender-neutral username, email

address, etc. Keep your primary email address private. Don't give out information simply because it is

requested. Block or ignore unwanted users Don't allow others to draw you into conflict Lurk in a new forum to learn local customs. If a place becomes stressful, leave it Watch what you "say" online
