AVOID PLAGIARISM

Even after four sweet years of college, I am still learning about all the guidelines to plagiarism.

There are several ways I make sure to avoid plagiarism.
One practical way is after reading a source, I like to verbally explain to myself what it is the source is saying about my topic. Saying it out loud allows for me to form my own thoughts and
opinions, and it reassures me that I am actually learning the information.

Also, I like to have my peers proofread and make sure that I am properly siting all sources.

A third way that helps me test plagiarism is by submitting my papers to websites such as TurnItIn. This website checks the entire paper to ensure its credibility. It is the global leader in addressing plagiarism and giving feedback.
