Plagiarism

Plagiarism

What is plagiarism?

• Using another person’s work

• Not giving credit to the source

• Using the exact words from the source without quotation marks

• A paraphrase or summary which uses the same sentence structure of the original

Acknowledge the source of information included in your essay using parenthetical citations OR in text citations.

Merely substituting synonyms for a few key words is still plagiarism, even if a parenthetical citation is used.

Such "patchwriting" often results from a student's failure to comprehend the information in the source.

HINT:

Read the information for comprehension.

Take notes without directly looking at the source.
