Plagiarism, and how NOT to do it • Word Origin: • The word “plagiarism” comes from the Greek word “plagiarius” which means to kidnap.
Plagiarism, and how NOT to do it • Concept: • To plagiarize means to take the words, work, or ideas of someone else and claim them as your own. • This act combines lying, cheating, and stealing and is a very serious offense.

Plagiarism, and how NOT to do it • Examples: • You copy something from the internet or a book and paste it into your own paper • Taking someone else’s idea and using it as your own without giving them credit • Letting someone else write your own work
Plagiarism, and how NOT to do it • Non-Examples: • You use the internet or a book for information and properly explain where you found what you used • You explain someone else’s idea and give them credit • You ask a peer to help you revise your work and they give you suggestions about wording
Plagiarism, and how NOT to do it • How to Avoid: • Find reliable (trustworthy) sources • Take detailed notes (quote, paraphrase, summarize) • Use citations in paper (explain where any information came from that is not your own) • Include a Bibliography or Works Cited page
