  1. History8: Zhou Dynasty Essay Plagiarism Guidelines

  2. Academic Honesty • “Honesty by individuals and social groups is a basic value essential to a fair and just society. Instilling in young people a commitment to honesty and fairness is an obligation shared by the social institutions that influence youth. It is especially important that the school, family, and students work together to encourage honest endeavor and discourage unethical behavior. Cheating and plagiarism are unethical behaviors through which unearned awards or advantages are achieved; such behavior is unacceptable at PCS. This policy is not meant to discourage collaborative efforts by students, but to hold students accountable for producing their own results.” (PCS Academic Honesty Policy)

  3. Plagiarism in ESSAYS • Any work you submit must be your own, original work.  • The following are examples of plagiarism on history essays: • Submitting a paper written by another student. • Submitting a paper--or any work--that has already been submitted by another student in a previous year. • Submitting a paper that has been purchased online.

  4. More examples… • Copying from the internet, either with verbatim copying and pasting or with minor changes. • Copying from another student's work, either through verbatim copying or with minor changes. • Failing to give full and complete credit to a source, whether the credit due is for a single short phrase, a sentence or a paragraph, or an important idea or key insight that was borrowed fromanother author.

  5. How to avoid plagiarism… • Include an MLA formatted “Works Cited” page at the end of your essay; you must give credit to all sources used, including sources from which you have taken new ideas. • BookFormat:Author's last name, first name. Book title. City of publication: Publishing company, publication date. • Website Format: Author's last name, first name (if available). "Title of work within a project or database." Title of site, project, or database. Date of publication or of the latest update. Date of access.

  6. How to avoid plagiarism… • Within your essay, include MLA formatted parenthetical citations • Ex: Over time, Zhou leadership weakened leading to the warring states (Spielvogel 92) • If you use the exact wording from a source, a page number citation is not enough; you must include quotation marks. • Ex. “Later Zhou rulers began to decline, both intellectually and morally” (Spielvogel 92)

  7. How to avoid plagiarism… • Changing words around, or simply substituting synonyms within a sentence someone else wrote, is STILL considered plagiarism. • Instead, take notes from your sources (in your own words) and write your essay while looking at your notes, not the text. • If you use the exact wording from any source, you should quote and cite the source in MLA format. 

  8. Works Cited Reminders • List your sources in ALPHABETICAL order by author’s last name • Continue to double-space • Do not skip extra lines • Include ALL sources you have used • Include your regular textbook, the sources we used in class, and internet sources (if applicable)

  9. Info for finding citation informationfor Legalism and Confucianism Han Fei-tzu(d. 233 BCE): Legalist Views on Good Government AND Confucius: Analects Reading About the World, Volume 1, edited by Paul Brians, Mary Gallwey, Douglas Hughes, AzfarHussain, Richard Law, Michael Myers Michael Neville, Roger Schlesinger, Alice Spitzer, and Susan Swan and published by Harcourt Brace Custom Publishing Please Note: The above is NOT the proper citation for the source. YOU must still use the information I have given you to create a proper citation based on the above information! In-text citations: (Confucius) or (Han Fei-tzu) Reminder: Daoism citation information is ON the Daoism handout! If you lost yours, call a friend!

  10. A Work in an Anthology, Reference, or Collection A Work in an Anthology, Reference, or Collection Works may include an essay in an edited collection or anthology, or a chapter of a book. The basic form is for this sort of citation is as follows: Last name, First name. "Title of Essay." Title of Collection. Ed. Editor's Name(s). Place of Publication: Publisher, Year. Page range of entry. Medium of Publication.
