One of the aspects of scholarly work is giving attribution to ideas and information
sources that you use—giving credit where it is due. Failure to do so diminishes your
credibility and violates the principles of academic integrity. Plagiarism is the
presentation of work done by others as your own work without giving credit. This can
occur deliberately or inadvertently, but in either case, it is a violation of academic
integrity.

The two most common violations (Clone and CTRL-C) may be most familiar to you.
Reflect on the 8 less common violations, identify one that you may have committed (or
you could imagine committing due to carelessness) and share steps you can take to
avoid it.
