Plagiarism Tutorial
It is extremely important to make sure that your writing does not use someone else's work without properly acknowledging it.
Even "paraphrasing" (putting someone else's writing into your own words) must be done very carefully.
These tutorials will help you learn the basics of avoiding plagiarism. You will always need to know this, not only during your academic career, but throughout your professional career, too.\ \ Go to my.jh.edu\ Browse by category --> Education --> myLearning\ Then you will see this (with your name, of course):\ \ \ \ Click on JHU Libraries Avoiding Plagiarism at JHU. Note that you don't have to take it all at once. \ (The "troubleshooting" note was there in August 2025 when these images were updated. If you do not see it when you log in, the problem is fixed.)
