What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is using someone else's work as your own.
How can I tell if I am plagiarizing?
If you take more than three words in a row directly from a book
or off the Internet and include it in your own written assignment,
then you are plagiarizing. If you want to use an author's work you
must do one of two things:
 |
Write the author and ask for permission to use their
work.
|
|
If you use more than three words in a row of someone's
work you
must put it in quotes and Cite the
resource correctly at the end of your
assignment in a Bibliography or Works Cited
page. |
HOW CAN TEACHERS DETER PLAGIARISM

essay. This way you can

for their opinion. |
