"To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use
*another person's idea, opinion, or theory;
*any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings-any pieces of information-that are not common knowledge;
*quotations of another person's actual spoken or written words; or
*paraphrase of another person's spoken or written words."
