How is Plagiarism Like Getting Wet When it is Raining?
Ways to Avoid Plagiarism:
1) acknowledge your sources -- bibliography
2) refer to sources as need
3) use quotation marks for quotes. If you don't want to put something in your own words, if in doubt, use a direct quote.
4) paraphrase information when taking notes
