The Study Skills Programme
Plagiarism This means presenting someone else ’ s ideas or work as your own . This can happen without you realising – so take care !
Follow two simple rules to avoid plagiarism :
1 . Keep a note of your sources as you research – make sure you know which ideas come from which resource .
2 . Write notes in your own words – don ’ t copy . If the writer has a brilliant idea and has written it concisely – use quotation marks to indicate it is not your own words ( and reference it – see final video ).
