Avoiding Plagiarism

Plagiarism occurs when someone just rewords another’s words instead of using their own ideas. It can also occur when someone forgets to put quotation marks, give credit, or forget an in-text citation (Moxley). By forgetting to give credit in any situation, one is considered to have plagiarized.

I believe that your passage is an example of plagiarism because you did not properly paraphrase and also you did not cite your sources, which are two essential things which must be done in order to avoid plagiarism. First of all, you did not properly paraphrase due to the fact that you only changed a few words and you barely changed the sentence structure which causes it to sound like the original passage.
