Plagarism

      There always a small line between knowing if your plagiarizing or not. So for the most part I just try to think is this my own thought or is this someone else thought. If I find that it is someone else then I take the next step of citing that source. An easy way of telling if you plagiarize or not is if you use a direct quote from someone and you do not cite that source. Also if you do not cite a source correctly that as well is consider plagiarizing.


                                                      
                                                    



     To my knowledge I have not plagiarized. I always tend to be extremely cautions when it comes to using other peoples words and quotes. I also tend to check over my citations numerous times before I print or send of the final copy of my paper.

    I think you are exactly right with asking the question, "Is this my idea?". Sometimes that is the hardest question for myself when doing a research paper. After a while, sometimes it all begins to b;end together.

    A part of your content is matching some text from the Web. Please make sure that this text is correctly referenced.

    But all is not lost... Looks like this checker found what you posted on your own blog yesterday... Amazing!! :-)
