Academic Skills @ IADT

Plagiarism is when you use someone else’s ideas or words without giving them credit. To avoid this, you must properly cite and reference the sources you use. Ask your lecturer what referencing style you are to use, and keep track of your sources as you read them. Then cite and reference them in your final work, using the style your lecturer told you. If you do not cite and reference your work, you can be penalised for plagiarism and a breach of academic integrity.

More information on academic integrity can be found at the button below.
