TOPIC 7 : ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND PERFORMANCE
Avoiding Plagiarism
What is Plagiarism? :
• An act 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, as by not crediting the original author
THINGS THAT CONSIDER PLAGIARISM :
• Change someone else’s work as your own
• Copying words or ideas from someone else (without giving credit)
• Not put a quotation in quotation marks
• Giving incorrect information (the source of a quotation)
• Changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source (without giving credit)
• Copying so many words or ideas
HOW TO PREVENT PLAGIARISM:
• Paraphrase
• Cite
• Quoting
• Citing Quotes
• Citing your own Material
• Referencing
