Plagiarism is the use of someone else’s work, words, or ideas as if they were your own. 

Here are three reasons not to do it:

• By far the deepest consequence to plagiarising is the detriment to your intellectual and moral development: you won’t learn anything, and your ethics will be corrupted.
• Giving credit where it’s due but adding your own reflection will get you higher marks than putting your name on someone else’s work. In an academic context, it counts more to show your ideas in conversation than to try to present them as entirely unique.
• My work is protected under Copyright Law in the UK and licensed under CC4.0, meaning:
