while marking your assignment for Introduction to Psychoactive Substances some problems were noticed.

POOR PARAPHRASING / NOT ACKNOWLEDGING QUOTES

The Turnitin Originality report showed that there was overlap between your assignment and other references. Specifically, there were instances in which you used the exact words (or very close to the exact words) of another author (a quote) but did not acknowledge these words correctly by using quotation marks. In academic writing, quotes should be used sparingly and only for small sections of text where the exact wording is really important. In most cases, it is much better to demonstrate your understanding of the material by writing it in your own words (paraphrasing). When you do believe that it is necessary to use a direct quote, you must always acknowledge the author by including the quoted material in quotation marks and also including the author(s) surnames(s), date, and the page number from the original source. This is essential to demonstrate academic integrity – that is respect for the work of other people and integrity in what you present as your own work.
