Cite Correctly or Ruin Your Career Like Guttenberg (for Publications, PhDs, Theses, Homework)

Plagiarism has ruined the careers of many politicians. Just like in the case of Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg. As a student, you should be aware that this can happen to you too. Even if you don't have bad intentions. I know that many students make a common mistake when referencing other sources. A fatal mistake that Guttenberg made too. Avoid that by following a very simple rule. Citing correctly isn't rocket science. It's easy. I don't mean to judge Guttenberg or anyone else for their actions. I merely use this case as an example. I want to show how an academic mistake in college can affect your career many years later. My goal with this video is that you avoid this mistake.
