Week FIVE, Don't Fake it...

Plagiarism is tricky.

There are those times where a writer just forgot to add quotation marks and other times where the writer just liked the words of another and wanted them as their own. In the latter, plagiarism is absolutely not ok, and will probably get you kicked out of school or fired or wherever your writing is headed.

Let me ask you this, would you steal a movie? ok then, same thing.

Purdue University helped out a lot with some extra tips, beyond what I wrote about for the chapter review. A great resource overall, but see what they had to say about plagiarism.
