the topic we are going to present to the class is
about plagiarism. the definition of plagiarism is the an
act or instance of using
or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and
the representation of that author's work as
one's own.
when do you need
to reference someone for using thier ideas and work?
-when you copy someone's
exact words.
-when you take an image
or work someone else made.
-when you paraphrase or summarise someone's
ideas.
how do you avoid
plagiarism?
-cite your source's. you can use MLA which stands for modern
language association or APA which stands for American Psycological
Association.
-take note's on the topic
you are trying to present. do not copy and paste someone's exact
words
-when using a quote,
image or other work that's not yours use quotation marks at the start and end of
the work. and use parenthesis at the end of a quote and write the author of the
documents last name in them.
-make sure you put your citations in a bibliography. this should
be in alphabetical order and have al cited sources you used in your
document.
some helpful tools you
can use to avoid plagiarism are
-easybib.com or bibme.org
to cite your sources correctly in MLA, APA and other forms of
siting
-or grammerly.com to
check your text for any plagiarized work
