Copyright does not mean that you can't make use of other people's work in your assignments - you are actually encouraged to do this. You will learn a lot from other authors, especially from specialists in a specific field. Copyright means that you should use other people's work in the correct way. This includes giving credit to the origin of the information by referencing and adding a bibliography to your assignment. How to do referencing will be discussed in detail in step 5 of this course.
