Use information ethically

1. Avoid plagiarism!
  • “Plagiarism occurs when the creative work of another individual is imitated or used without authorization, or when the creative work of someone else is represented as one's own work." From the STCC Student Handbook.

2. Cite ALL of your sources (including images) using:

  • Quotations
  • In-text references
  • A bibliography or works cited page

3. Some Tips:

  • Avoid cutting and pasting.
  • Basic, known facts are OK to use (e.g., Washington was our 1st President.)
  • Even if you are paraphrasing someone else's ideas using your words (rather than quoting), you must cite.
  • Give yourself time for the writing process.

When in doubt, cite!
