WHY WE SHOULD NOT PLAGIARIZE? It is unfair not to acknowledge your colleagues for the work they have done. Readers will be inclined to think you are far more intelligent and creative than you actually are. It is misleading and perhaps dishonest to present the work of your colleagues as your own. www.ait.asia

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM Acknowledge borrowed material within the text by introducing the quotation or paraphrase with the name of the authority from whom it was taken. Enclose within quotation marks all quoted materials. Make certain that paraphrased material is written in your own style and language. The simple rearrangement of sentence patterns is unacceptable.
