Plagiarism & Citing

What is plagiarism?

Plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

So really, what is plagiarism? 

Direct Plagiarism: Copying another's work without any attempt to say where the material came from.

Patchwork Plagiarism:  Taking material directly from several sources and piecing it together without saying where it came from.

Insufficient Citation of Quotes: Using another's words or phrases without putting them in quotes and saying where they came from.

Paraphrasing Without Citing: Using the ideas having changed the wording but not saying where the ideas came from.

Insufficient Citation: Using or paraphrasing a work and attempting to say where the words and/or ideas came from but incorrectly.

Misrepresentation of Common Knowledge: Believing something is common knowledge and not citing it when it is not commonly known.

How do I not plagiarize?

Cite any quotations in your paper. Cite any time you paraphrase something. Cite where you got ideas. Cite correctly. Cite if you are not sure if you need one or not. 

I'm not very good at citing. Where can I get help?
