Full terms and conditions

Plagiarism

Plagiarism occurs in situations where an individual uses the ideas, words, images, sounds or other content created by someone else without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.

Copying web page text and passing it off as your personal work is both against the law and discouraged by teachers.

Instead you must credit the sources of this material. This means stating where you got your information. Ask your teacher how he or she would like you to credit sources in your projects.

Tips to help you avoid plagiarism

Paraphrase (that means putting the ideas in your own words) the content you wish to use. This must involve more than simply changing or rearranging a few words.

When you need to copy text exactly, put the copied content in quotation marks (" ") and acknowledge the source clearly following the text.

When you need to copy images exactly, acknowledge the source immediately following the image.
