  • What is plagiarism? 
  • In simple terms, plagiarism is copying or stealing someone's work or ideas and passing that work off as your own. 
  • To avoid plagiarism, you must credit the source of the information.

2.  Not giving credit when using information found online or in books or other sources
3.  Not putting a quotation in quotation marks and then citing the author
4.  Not giving correct information for the source of something you have used
5.  Changing the words in your quotation without changing the structure of the sentence and then not giving credit
6.  Copying such a large amount of text that is makes up the majority of your paper whether you give credit or not
7. Using graphs or drawings without citing the source
8.  Plagiarism can also occur with images, music, and videos
