Plagiarism Examples
Always check that your college work is original or has been properly cited. Avoid these pitfalls that could lead to serious consequences:
- Buying or downloading for free a paper off the internet and turning it in as your own
- Copying and pasting material from the Internet without properly documenting the source
- Allowing someone else to write your paper
- Creating a patchwork of unacknowledged material by copying words, sentences, or paragraphs from someone else
- Changing only a few words to make the work your own
- Failing to put quotation marks around a quotation
- Including fictitious references in your paper
