4. What is the difference between accidental plagiarism and
deliberate plagiarism? Accidental is when someone
unknowingly copies an answer word for word. Deliberate is
when someone goes looking through others work for the

5. How can you avoid plagiarism, while still integrating support
(ideas and quotes) in your own work? You can either change
enough of it so that it is different yet the same or you can
quote it and give credit

plagiarized? Can you still use these items? How? Ideas and
pictures. Yes, by giving the person who created it credit

I have reviewed both the Academic Integrity Policy and viewed

the Common Craft: Plagiarism video. I have a good
understanding of Plagiarism and how avoid this practice. If I
have any questions (before the course begins or when completing
an assignment), I will send my questions to the teacher before I
submit my work.
