What is Plagiarism?

CC BY-SA 2.0 Valerie Everett

Plagiarism is essentially using someone else's words or ideas without acknowledgement. There are many definitions out there so rather than quote one I would suggest that students look up their own University's official definition to be clear on the guidelines.
 
In many cases, plagiarism is inadvertent and can be easily avoided through educating students on proper referencing. No-one wants to be dragged in front of an official college board and this blog aims to ensure that that will never happen. Hopefully some of the tips you will learn from this blog will be useful in your future studies.
