I've just learnt about plagiarism in class. I have some thoughts about plagiarism.
- Plagiarism is basically a form of cheating, or rather copying others' ideas without permission.
- For all netizens out there, I suggest that you place a citation after a phrase or picture etc. if you take an idea from a website to avoid plagiarising.
- Finally, plagiarism doesn't pay.
I have some other tips here to help you avoid plagiarism:
- another person’s idea, opinion, or theory;
- any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings—any pieces of information—that are not common knowledge;
- quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words; or
paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.
See? I even placed a citation and a link here!http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml
