  8. So, you may ask: • What constitutes Academic Misconduct?

  9. Policy on Academic Misconduct • Academic misconduct is defined as (but not limited to,) providing or receiving assistance in a manner not authorized by the instructor in the creation of work to be submitted for academic evaluation. • There are four main types of Academic Misconduct: 1. Examination Misconduct 2. Improper Behavior 3. Falsification/Misuse of Academic Information 4. Plagiarism

  10. Examination Misconduct • Examination misconduct is any kind of improper behavior that may occur during the taking of an assigned test/exam. • This may include: -Copying from someone else’s test or letting someone else copy from your own -Using an unauthorized cheat sheet -Using stolen tests to study

  11. This is called… • CHEATING!

  12. Improper Behavior • Improper behavior is any kind of action that disrupts or compromises the learning environment. • This may include: -Submission of the same piece of work (or very similar work) in more than one course without teacher consent -Theft, alteration, or destruction of the academic work of other members of your academic community -Working with another student on a project without permission of the instructor -Classroom disruption

  13. Falsification or Misuse of AcademicInformation • Falsification/Misuse of Academic Information is the act of forging records or changing personal information in a dishonest or flagrant manner. This may include: -Altering a transcript for admission -Falsifying data on a research project -Having someone else sign your name on an attendance sheet, or signing someone else’s name on an attendance sheet

  14. Plagiarism • Plagiarism is the act of submitting the work of others as your own. • Otherwise stated, • The intentional use of ideas, words or statements of another person as one’s own without acknowledgment.

  15. This may include: • -Copying sentences, phrases, etc. from an outside • source, such as a book, without the use of proper • citation. -Using or buying a paper written by someone else -Selling or lending papers for the purpose of violating academic policy (This can become a criminal offense!) -Submitting a paper or project in more than one class without the consent of all of the instructors.

  16. -Citing a work that was referenced in another work without actually consulting the original piece directly. -Fabrication of data or citations. -Failure to cite graphs, photographs, computer software, interviews, television programs, speeches, and any other non-written sources. -Improper paraphrasing or summary without proper citation.

  17. When Should You Cite? • Is it your original idea? • Is the information Common Knowledge? • Must use proper Citation

  18. Proper Citation Styles • APA (American Psychological Association) • used for Social Sciences, Education, • Engineering, and Business • MLA (Modern Language Association) • used for Humanities • Chicago (or Turabian) • used in many fields • Blue Book – Legal citations

  19. Examples • Taken from The Plagiarism Handbook by Robert • Harris (2001) -When quoting a phrase, the author must be identified. -An expert in the field of psychology has referred to it as “the absence of personal attribution.” (Sherwood, 1995, p. 354) “-Survival of the fittest” was seen to be a way of explaining evolution. (Darwin, 1884, p. 32)

  20. When quoting complete sentences, it is • best to identify the author in front of the • material that is being summarized, ending with • the page number after the quote. • Carmichael (1998) suggest that cycling is one of • the most popular sports in America:”The total • number of cyclists who exercise regularly is • estimated at more than 50 million.” (p.4

  21. Even if summarizing material, mark the beginning of the summary to identify where the author’s ideas are being used. The transition between childhood and adulthood is often described merely as adolescence. However, Arnett (2000) proposes a distinct period of time which he names “emerging adulthood”, a time when young adults start to gain independence. (p.469)

  22. Improper Paraphrasing • Source: As with a typical superhero, Judge Robertson thought it his duty not only to establish justice but to wreak equity. Smith, 2000, p. 345. • Paraphrase: Judge Robertson felt duty-bound not only to labor for justice but to wreak equity (Smith, 2000, p. 345).

  23. Improper ParaphrasingUsing too many words and phrases from the original • Source: In a typical search strategy, Boolean operators can be used to control both the scope of the search and the required proximity of search terms. The operator OR expands the search by allowing the return of documents containing either search term, while the operator AND restricts the search by requiring both terms to be present in the document. • Paraphrase: When searching, you can use Boolean operators to control the scope of the search and how near each other the search terms are. For example, the operator OR expands the search by returning all documents containing either search term, while AND restricts the search by requiring both terms to be present

  24. Improper Use of Quotes Source: In a typical search strategy, Boolean operators can be used to control both the scope of the search and the required proximity of search terms. The operator OR expands the search by allowing the return of documents containing either search term, while the operator AND restricts the search by requiring both terms to be present in the document. John Smith has said “Boolean operators can be used to control both the scope of the search and the required proximity of search terms.” He has also suggested that “the operator OR expands the search by allowing the return of documents and containing either search term, while the operator AND restricts the search by requiring both terms to be present in the document.” (Smith, 2000, p. 246

  25. Appropriate Paraphrasing Source: In a typical search strategy, Boolean operators can be used to control both the scope of the search and the required proximity of search terms. The operator OR expands the search by allowing the return of documents containing either search term, while the operator AND restricts the search by requiring both terms to be present in the document. Paraphrase: According to John Smith (2000), using the appropriate forms of Boolean logic can allow the searcher to “control both the scope of the search and the required proximity of search terms.” The word OR produces a hit (a matched document) when either term is present, while AND produces a hit only when both terms are matched in a document. (p. 246
