Plagiarism
Plagiarism is copying someone else’s work without their permission or without saying whose work it is.
Copying and pasting

- If you do copy and paste text without saying who the real author is, you are plagiarising.
Plagiarism
- Plagiarism is NOT allowed in schools, colleges, university or the workplace.
- It is quite easy to find out if someone has plagiarised something.
Avoiding plagiarism

- Using different sources of information - not just one.
- Using your own words.
- Always saying where your information comes from.
