Lecturers will not tolerate with any plagiarism activities. Thus, how NOT to Plagiarize?
Do not copy any online source entries, especially Wikipedia. Do not copy your friends works. Rephrase every sentence of the source that you find, relevant to your assignment in your own style and language (if you want to use the data and information). Strictly no cut and paste (Please use your own word). List down your references // Todays technologies and the predictability of students make catching plagiarists easier than ever..
