If you use the same sentence construction and the same words as in the original, even if you add a citation, it can still be considered plagiarism. You need to change the sentence structure and change the words and cite.
@@cecilebadenhorst4997 Basically this is intellectual theft. The least severe penalty for plagiarism is a re-work of the assignment, failure of the assignment or even the failure of the whole class. The most severe penalty can be a lawsuit or even worse - imprisonment!
Watching this video was part of my homework. Thank you.
It was interesting, thank you so much.
Thanks Dr Cecile
Thank you for this one. Big help!
I really appreciate this video.
Can I get a link were I can test my work for plagiarism?
Nice presentation..
I still didn’t understand: if we put a citation for the origin of sentence, is that still considered as a plagiarism or no ?

Why are there severe penalties for plagiarism, and why is it ethically wrong to do?
If you use someone else's writing and claim it as your own - that's plagiarism. It's ethically wrong because it is not yours to claim.
