Understanding Plagiarism and Referenceing

I got difficult to understand what a plagiarism is, but after I saw the present under Library skills of Metranet I know that’s mean cheating and taking someone else words or ideas as your own, for example from books, internet, news etc. and that makes the reader think the words idea belong to you.
Plagiarism stops you from learning and get you into trouble as well the Universities are very serious.
You should write and create on your own way, that will helped you to write better in the future as you will probably improve your general skills and develop your critical thinking skills. If you want to avoid plagiarism you should give a reference whatever you use someone else idea, opinion, facts, drawing, words etc
There are four steps help you not to plagiarism, first of all plan a head that’s mean you divide the process for example make time for reading, thinking, writing and then finally review it. Secondly, key information to record that’s mean you should note down about all sources every time. The third step is, take appropriate notes, as there are three main reason of taking notes, first select then understand and remember. Finally and the Forth is, reference correctly, that’s mean you should make sure you reference correctly.
