Plagiarism

Plagiarism is using someone else’s words or ideas as if they were your own. It is a form of dishonesty and must be avoided! To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit when you use:

• Another person's ideas.
• Any facts or statistics that aren't common knowledge.
• Pictures that another person created.
• Pictures downloaded from the Internet.
• Quotations.
• Paraphrases of another person's words, spoken or written.
