Avoiding Plagiarism

Now that you have learned about different forms of plagiarism, let's discuss how you can avoid it.

Here are the best ways to avoid plagiarism:

• write your assignment in your own words, using your own ideas.
• use quotation marks when you copy something exactly from another source.
• always give the original author credit for using his/her words or ideas -- this is referred to as "citing."
