I choose plagiarism as my topic for this blog. Basically, most of us think of plagiarism like copying people’s work or using someone’s original work.

            In fact, the plagiarism means:

1. “Copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not” (iParadigms, 2012)

2. “Turning in someone else’s work as your own” (iParadigms, 2012)

            3. “Copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit” (iParadigms, 2012)

            4. “Changing words but coping the sentence structure of a source without giving credit” (iParadigms, 2012)

            In college courses, students are often asked to write paper, some of them do not know how to write it correctly. A complete article should consist of full structure that include headline, introduction, body, conclusion and resource box, these structures consist of many resources that you can find from internet or books. When we do the resources, we can search resources that you want by any ways, but we can not copy the full ideas.           

            Overall, we should learn how to avoid plagiarism. Once we use another’s work, we should use quotation at the end of article. We must give credit whenever we use.
