Citing Module Recap:

• Always cite and document other people's words, ideas, and other intellectual property that you use in your papers and that influence your ideas.
  
  • Plagiarism is taking other people's words and/or ideas and presenting them as your own.
  • Always use quotation marks when using exact words of an author. It is not enough to give the source.
  • When paraphrasing, do not copy author's style or wording. Even if you have a citation, such borrowing is considered plagiarism. When you paraphrase using your own words, credit must still be given to the original author for the idea.
• There are many citation styles - always ask which style your professor prefers.
• Always make sure you are clear on what would be considered
  acceptable group work.

• When in doubt, ask your professor.
