Now days, we always heard about plagiarism among the student especially in university level. Plagiarism representing someone else's ideas or words as our own, that will cause problems for people in any stage of life. Here is some method that can make sure you do not plagiarize on purpose or by accident.

 Firstly, you must know what the meaning of plagiarism.Plagiarism not only includes the word copying of another piece of work, but close imitation. Using synonyms and other word choices is not an excuse to justify plagiarism. You should write a piece of text strictly in your own words and then cite your sources.

Besides, be familiar in the area that you are talking about. By understanding the subjects, you are more likely to write in your own words without copy from someone else. We need to understand what the topic about and then we can elaborate using our own idea.

Lastly, reference your quotes and sources. If your take or use  words from internet or book, you should include a bibliography in your assignment. Lecture can accept your words if you use standard format.
