How to avoid Plagiarism
• Manage your time and plan your work – ensure that
you have enough time to prepare, read and write.
• In your notes, highlight in color/bold any direct
quotations you want to use in your assignment - this
will help to ensure you use quotation marks with an
appropriate reference when you are writing up your
work.
• Allow enough time to check your final draft for
possible referencing errors or omissions.
• Save all your notes, files, printouts and so on until
you complete your work.
• Scan your work through plagiarism checker
software.
