4. Types of Plagiarism Intentional - submitting a paper, drawing, etc as your own and purposely altering or falsifying citation to hide sources. Unintentional – not knowing how to cite, sloppy research or note taking, cutting and pasting.

5. Plagiarism Illegal under the law of copyright. Morally wrong to steal someone else’s work Plagiarism stops you from expressing your own thoughts . If you plagiarize, you hurt other students by having their work judge and evaluated with professional writers’ work.

6. How to avoid Plagiarism Use your own words most of the time. When using another person’s work use quotation marks and give credit (within the text, footnote, or endnote.) Even if worded differently but has the same idea; the author still deserves credit. If your not sure, add the footnote or citation. Its better to be cautious than be in the risk of plagiarizing.
