PARAPHRASE – DON’T PLAGIARIZE
• Put as much information into your own words as
possible.
• Do not use words in your projects if you cannot
define them.
• Even if you paraphrase, give credit to the source.
After all, you did not dream up the information last
night! Or did you?
WHEN DON’T I NEED TO CITE INFO?
USE COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Facts that can be found in many sources and are known to
many people do NOT have to be cited.
