...To Avoid Plagiarism

1. Take detailed notes on where you got all of your information from and use EndNote!
2. Write down direct quotes as they appear in the text, with pages numbers and author name.
3. Clearly identify where the information came from when you are writing your papers
4. Use your own words as much as possible
5. When in doubt cite the source!
