The Art Avoiding Plagiarism

ways to avoid plagiarism

      Based on my reading in article about the plagiarism, there are several steps to avoid it. The firsts step is to avoid reading anything that have been written by somebody else. Most of the student will copy paste from their reading because they are lazy to think and there are no idea to finish their idea. So, teachers supposed to make their student thinks about something new like asking a question and discuss about the answer together.

       There are two things that all of the students should know about the plagiarism. First of all, not all of the intelligent insights that you use to make your assignment will be your own. Secondly, you should give a mention for the names of all those other people that are involved.

        Besides, you can improve your note-taking skills while avoid the plagiarism by write down all the source that you use to make it as a evidence and showed it to your teacher. Then, be a methodical and accurate person by write down the title of a book or website reference, author, date and page number so that you, and anybody else, will be able to check later and can edit it when another idea was came from.

      Furthermore, you also can avoid plagiarism by using a plenty of quotation marks so you can know what are the direct lifts and what you have put in your own words. When quoting a source, use the quote exactly the way it appears. No one wants to be misquoted. Most institutions of higher learning frown on "block quotes" or quotes of 40 words or more. This process takes time, but the effort will pays off. Quoting must be done correctly to avoid plagiarism allegations.

      Finally, you don't need to worry to give as many as sugar about your references if you refer to a fact that is commonly known. You should always read through an assignment to check that you haven't plagiarised accidentally. Be sure to edit your assignment carefully and check for plagiarism again before turning it into the class. Most educators and educational institutions are using some kind of plagiarism checker software to check students' assignments. Do not take the chance of not checking your assignment. Plagiarism could mean the loss of your academic degree or career.
