Plagiarism is using someone else’s words or ideas without giving credit. It can be intentional or accidental, but the consequences can be serious—from a zero on a paper to legal trouble. To avoid plagiarism, always cite when you:

• Use someone else’s idea, opinion, or thought
• Include information that isn’t common knowledge
• Quote or paraphrase another person’s words
