Why you should reference properly
Academic integrity
Academic integrity involves the acknowledgement (referencing) of other peoples’ written work, images, audio files, or their ideas that you have used in your work. You also need to acknowledge any content you found on the internet, or other sources. The only content which you do not need acknowledge is common knowledge.
Plagiarism
When you use someone else’s ideas or words in your writing without acknowledging (referencing) where they came from, it can be considered plagiarism or academic dishonesty.
