Blogpost on Plagarism

In the blog post that a student did, what the student did wrong was that the student literally copied and pasted the words from their source. That was very wrong. What he/she could do to include the source was that they could paraphrase the words or even quote the words directly from the source.

"There is the night sky filled with swirling clouds, stars ablaze with their own luminescence, and a bright crescent moon." (Vincent van Gogh: Starry Night)

One way to avoid plagiarizing is just knowing the fact that you can defiantly be penalized for it in. Not only that but the fact is that it is wrong. Another way to avoid plagiarizing is to always cite your sources and always use different ways to include your sources so that it won't be counted as plagiarism. Also, if you paraphrase or use quotations, that isn't plagiarism because in you must cite your sources to do that. One last way to avoid plagiarizing is to never copy and paste directly from a source. That is one thing that could get you a 0 on a paper. So, in all never plagirize.
