Five
Tips for Avoiding Plagiarism
|
|
 |
First, use your own words to describe your own ideas about the issues. Your paper should describe your thinking about the issues. |
 |
Use
the ideas of others sparingly--only to support or reinforce your
own argument.
|
 |
When taking notes, include complete citation information for each item you use. |
 |
Use quotation marks when directly stating another person's words, and make sure you cite them. |
 |
Remember to give credit to others, even if you are paraphrasing their ideas. |
