  3. What is Plagiarism? • Using in any way the work of another without attribution • Failure to indicate exact wording with “quote marks” • Lack of citation at the end of a quote or paraphrase • Improper paraphrase

  4. Principles for Avoiding Plagiarism • Principle #1 • When you are stating someone else’s ideas, you should cite. • Principle #2 • When you use someone’s language, you should quoteand cite. • Principle #3 • When you paraphrase, make sure that you use your own words (and your own structure).

  5. How do I check my paraphrases? • Compare your paraphrase with the original text. • How many words are the same? • Other than prepositions, articles, and technical terms, you should only have a few words that are the same, if any • Are there exact phrases used in both? • Make sure to put quote marks around exact phrases

  6. Analyze the following passage. Determine whether or not the use of sources in each case constitutes plagiarism.

  7. CASE #1 According to McGrath (1987), there is much evidence that women were rarely crime victims and were generally treated with deference. There were two reports of attempted rape, but in both cases, which concerned prostitutes, witness testimony did not support the claims (p. 252).

  8. CASE #1 According to McGrath (1987), there is much evidencethat women were rarely crime victims and were generally treated with deference. There were two reports of attempted rape, but in both cases, which concerned prostitutes, witness testimony did not support the claims (p. 252). PLAGIARISM, borrowed language not in quote marks.

  9. CASE #2 Most industrial architecture was of a kind that was loathe to present too bold a face to its consumers, and these buildings of Kahn fell victim to the prevailing commercial habit of “clothing the industrial firm in classic dress as soon as it was to meet the public” (Burchard and Bush-Brown, 1966, p. 276).

  10. CASE #2 Most industrial architecture was of a kind that was loathe to present too bold a face to its consumers, and these buildings of Kahn fell victim to the prevailing commercial habit of “clothing the industrial firm in classic dress as soon as it was to meet the public” (Burchard and Bush-Brown, 1966, p. 276). PLAGIARISM, identical sentence phrase not in quote marks.

  11. CASE #3 Motor vehicle manufacturers do not always devise features with safety in mind. For instance, when manufacturers replaced radio, CD player, and temperature setting knobs with touch-sensitive panels, they were forgetting one thing: to use the panels, drivers would have to look away from the road.

  12. CASE #3 According to Tom and Ray Magliozzi, motor vehicle manufacturers do not always devise features with safety in mind. For instance, when manufacturers replaced radio, CD player, and temperature setting knobs with touch-sensitive panels, they were forgetting one thing: to use the panels, drivers would have to look away from the road(p.3). PLAGIARISM for failure to cite, BUT GOOD PARAPHASE

  13. CASE #4 President Kennedy (1961) challenged us to question ourselves about how we can serve our nation, instead of thinking about the ways that our nation can benefit us (p. 2).

  14. CASE #4 President Kennedy (1961) challenged us to question ourselves about how we can serve our nation, instead of thinking about the ways that our nation can benefit us (p. 2). ACCEPTABLE!
