When participating in discussions with your classmates in forum posts, what steps can you take to avoid plagiarism?
Question 1 Answer

a.
Write your own discussion posts using your analysis, your ideas, and your own words. If you borrow anything from another source, give credit to the source. Put ideas into your own words, and place direct quotes within quotation marks.

b.
Research Internet websites to locate answers. Copy and paste these answers into your discussion post.

c.
Create your discussion post with paraphrased ideas that you borrow from either classmates or the Internet. Make the information that you borrowed sound like your own words by paraphrasing all the ideas; that way, you don’t have to cite the source.

d.
Read one of your classmate’s discussion posts. Copy their ideas and words into your discussion post.
