Plagiarism
Summarizing
What might happen:
Sometimes, you will find a large piece of information
that you want to use in your assignment. So, you summarize the information
in one or two sentences, but don't indicate where you
got the original idea from.
 |
STOP!
This is considered plagiarism! |
|
Even though you have summarized a large piece
of information into one or two sentences, the main idea still belongs
to someone else. So if you don't give credit to the original author,
this is like stealing someone else's idea. |
