How Do I Avoid Plagiarism?

• Credit your sources! Any time you use information from the internet or another source, be sure to cite your reference in you work. Purdue Owl is a great resource for students to learn how to cite sources.
• Learning a new language can be difficult. If you are unsure about a translation, ask your teacher for help. Do not copy a translation from the internet or your classmates.
• Understand plagiarism and review your work. It is wonderful to use outside sources, but give credit when you do.
