TCC defines plagiarism as “presenting within one’s own work the ideas, representations, or words of another person or artificial intelligence, without customary and proper acknowledgement of that person’s authorship.” Students who are unsure of what constitutes plagiarism should consult with a writing tutor or their instructor. (TCC Student Code of Conduct).  

Think of plagiarism as that crafty goblin who tries to steal your hard-earned gold (aka your ideas)!  Not cool, right? 😱  Visit the TCC Libraries Citing Research Guide for more information!

🔍 Why Avoid Plagiarism?

1. Protect Your Reputation: Nobody wants to be known as the villain of the story. Plagiarism can lead to serious consequences, affecting your grades and academic integrity.
2. Show Off Your Skills: Your unique insights and perspectives are what make your work shine. Embrace your creativity! 🌟
3. Build Trust: Crediting sources builds your credibility and shows you’ve done your homework (literally!).

Each February, we come together to honor the contributions and achievements of Black individuals throughout history. 

Black History Month is a time to reflect on the struggles, triumphs, and profound influence that Black communities have had on shaping our world.

At your TCC Libraries, we celebrate by offering a variety of resources, from books and documentaries to special events and exhibitions. Whether you're interested in learning about influential figures like Harriet Tubman, Langston Hughes, or Maya Angelou, or exploring the rich cultural heritage of African American communities, our collection provides a wealth of knowledge to deepen your understanding and appreciation.

We encourage everyone to take this time to explore, reflect, and learn. Stop by your local campus library and discover new voices, powerful stories, and a deeper understanding of the ongoing journey toward equality and justice. Let’s celebrate together and continue to grow in knowledge and empathy.  Check out some of the resources your TCC Libraries has to offer with our African American Research Guide.
