Accidental plagiarism is the result of poor citation or referencing or poor preparation or a

persons work as ones own.

5. How can you avoid plagiarism, while still integrating support (ideas and quotes) in your own work?
We can use our own words when not quoting directly, and we can paraphrase or summarize the
idea as long as the context is accurate and we give the original source.

6. Other than the written work, what other items can be plagiarized? Can you still use these items?
How?
Drawings, speeches, music, structural models and statistics can also be plagiarized. We can still
use these items, by indicating the original sources.

Policy or on the Common Craft Video) that helped you understand how to avoid plagiarism.
