Today we will look at how to give credit to any sources you used in your writing. If you use someone’s writing as your own, it is considered cheating. Specifically, a type of cheating called plagiarism. This is a very serious offense. In secondary school, you will not receive any marks on an assignment with any amount of plagiarized information. In university, plagiarism can result in not just being removed from the course, but being removed from the university completely. Yes, ALL COURSES.
We will look at how to document, or ‘cite’, your sources properly. We will use APA style. The chart below is from Purdue University’s online writing lab, and can be found at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/949/01/
