Plagiarism is when you use someone else's ideas, words, or work without giving them credit. To avoid plagiarism, make sure to always cite your sources properly and put any direct quotes in quotation marks.

Additionally, it's important to paraphrase information in your own words and provide proper citations for any information that is not common knowledge. By giving credit to the original source, you are showing respect for the work and ideas of others while also maintaining academic integrity.
