Answer 1

Plagiarism is an act of presenting others work as one's own.Some of the ways to reduce this academic risk of plagiarism are

• Gain information from the previous assignment
• Research about the topic which has to be presented and gain knowledge
• Try to present in own words
• Reread and confirm that the current content is not similar to any other assignment
• Make sure what has to be presented in the content and which contents should not be posted
• Ensure the citations are proper
• The groups can make use of the technical tools like plagiarism checkers
