5. WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
Choose as many as you like.
a. Copying another student’s work
b. Using a paragraph from your own essay submitted previously
c. Using an idea/ information from someone else in your essay without saying
so
d. Copying something directly from a book, journal or website without
quotation marks or saying where you found it
e. Citing someone else’s idea and discussing it (NOT PLAGIARSM)
f. Using a graph from the Internet without citing it
6. HOW TO AVOID
PLAGIARISM
• Avoid poor paraphrasing: make sure that you change the words and the way the
sentence is put together. You can also be accused of plagiarism if you only change
someone's words very slightly
• Make sure you understand the sentence(s) you want to paraphrase to ensure you do not
change the meaning.
• Don’t forget to use quotation marks when you borrow somebody else’s words
• Make clear which arguments of your essay are based on other people’s work and whose
work you have used
• List every source you have used and double check your reference list against the
citations in you essay
7. PARAPHRASING
You paraphrase when you change the information read into your own
words without changing the original meaning.
Why paraphrase?
• It shows that you understand what the writer is saying
• It makes it easier to build you own argument. For example, you can
use what someone else says as evidence or an example to support
what you want to say
• It fits more easily with your own writing style
Example:
Original: Employers who provide childcare at the workplace have found
that lateness declines and levels of stress experienced by employees
also decline.
Paraphrased reference: There is evidence to suggest that on-site day
care is beneficial to employers because employees are more punctual
and appear to suffer less from stress (Smith, 2018).
8. REFERENCING
•Referencing is an acknowledgement
that you have used the ideas and
written material belonging to other
authors in your own work.
