Avoiding Plagiarism
Plagiarism happens when you use information from a book, journal, magazine,
website, interview, or even in-class handout and do not say where the information
came from. If you use information that is not common knowledge or your own
original idea in your writing without citing it, it is considered cheating in a Western
academic situation. If you are found guilty of plagiarism at a university, you may
receive a failing grade for the assignment, or even be asked to leave the university
depending on the seriousness of the assignment or the amount of plagiarism
found. You will practice citing sources in your writing assignments this year using
MLA style in-text citations. For more information about plagiarism and citing
sources, click on the links below.
