Don’t forget that this course is only for helping you with writing your final thesis. After uploading your final thesis to the system there will be a completely new inspection of your work. The protocol is then available to the supervisor. The supervisor decides if your final thesis is or is not plagiarism. And because the supervisors are experts in the field, they will find out if there is paraphrase (reformulation of the taken text), so don´t forget to quote.
