PLAGIARISM
WHAT IS IT?
Plagiarism is using others’ ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.
HOW CAN STUDENTS AVOID PLAGIARISM?
You must give credit to sources whenever you use:
-another person’s idea, opinion, or theory;
-any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings - any pieces of information that are not common knowledge;
-quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words;
-paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.
These guidelines apply irrespective of the source of the information.
Plagiarism of any kind will result in immediate disqualification from the competition, save in the absolute discretion of BT and the Judges.
