plagiarism

Hello everyone at Kaplan! This week we learned about plagiarism, what it is, and why it is such a huge topic at Kaplan University. Plagiarism is basically taking credit for another writer's work. When writing a paper and looking up information either on the internet, books, magazines or articles, it is easy to take a portion of the sentence and incorporate it into your own writing and without citing the source this is plagiarism. There are so many plagiarism issues that are going on today and I think we should handle them as a serious manner. We all learned how important it is to cite our information and references of our work. Great week everyone and see you next week.
