Discussion: The  Spectrum

One of the aspects of scholarly work is giving attribution to ideas and information sources that you use—giving credit where it is due. Failure to do so diminishes your credibility and violates the principles of academic integrity. Plagiarism is the presentation of work done by others as your own work without giving credit. This can occur deliberately or inadvertently, but in either case, it is a violation of academic integrity.

By Day 4
Post a 1-2 paragraph explanation of how you might avoid committing one of the types of plagiarism described.
