Dear Universe...

I want to be an achiever, not a plagiarizer who makes excuses as to why they can’t or won’t do the work. What is the work, you ask? It’s simply giving credit where credit is due by paraphrasing, citing sources and placing quotes around text. Hmmm.. that seems manageable. Say good-bye to cheating and hello to me! I can do it!

What does it mean to plagiarize?
According to plagiarism.org, to “plagiarize” means:
: to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
: to use (another's production) without crediting the source
: to commit literary theft
: to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source

Plagiarism + Types of Plagiarism

Plagiarism occurs when a student presents materials taken from another person’s work without a citation, and either purposefully or unintentionally passes it off as their own. If a student borrows concepts or information from others, proper attribution is always required.
