Knowing what’s right and wrong doesn’t always stop people from doing an act…

Plagiarism is the act of using information or any form of content as if it is your own. It is stealing or recreating these ideas without giving credit to the originator. Plagiarizing can mistakenly and easily happen if students are not careful of what types of sources and credits they provide in documentation.
