  1. Academic integrity • Plagiarism in written assignments is: • Copying anything from anybody into your work • But brief quotes are OK, as long asyou give credit to the author • Plagiarism in programming assignments is: • Copying code from other students or teams • Downloading code from the web and claiming that you wrote it • But the instructor may provide some code that everyone can use COMP 655

  2. Why it’s important to write your own stuff Learning! Looks good, less work, but no learning COMP 655

  3. Academic integrity - 2 • Plagiarism is a problem: • Several academic dishonesty charges have occurred during the past • Students have been dismissed • Some solutions: • www.turnitin.com • Turnitin setup information (COMP 655) • MOSS (Measure Of Software Similarity) • Any source files on einstein must bereadable only by you COMP 655

  4. How turnitin.com works • I create a class and assignments • I provide signup information • You create an account (if necessary) • You join the class • You submit a written assignment • Turnitin creates an originality report • (if necessary) you revise your assignment and re-submit it to the revision assignment; turnitin creates an originality report for the revision • I review your originality report and decide if the matching in it is OK • I download your assignment from turnitin and grade it COMP 655

  5. Examples: plagiarism and quoting COMP 655

  6. BOINC’s text Reference Quotes This is OK • BOINC is optimized for academic projects that need a lot of computing power but don’t have a lot of money. According to the web site, • “Scientists with computationally-intensive tasks may be able to use BOINC. A BOINC project requires just a single Linux server, and can provide computing power equivalent to a cluster with tens of thousands of CPUs.” [4] • Some of the projects that have used BOINC … COMP 655

  7. Reference BOINC’s idea, expressed in your own words This is also OK BOINC is optimized for academic projects that need a lot of computing power but don’t have a lot of money. Scientific projects are often in this category. To use BOINC, a project only has to buy one Linux server, which can coordinate tens of thousands of volunteer computers. [4] Some of the projects that have used BOINC … COMP 655

  8. BOINC’s text, looking like you wrote it This is PLAGIARISM BOINC is optimized for academic projects that need a lot of computing power but don’t have a lot of money. Scientists with computationally-intensive tasks may be able to use BOINC. A BOINC project requires just a single Linux server, and can provide computing power equivalent to a cluster with tens of thousands of CPUs. Some of the projects that have used BOINC … COMP 655

  9. Reference, but nothing that shows it’s a quote This is PLAGIARISM also BOINC is optimized for academic projects that need a lot of computing power but don’t have a lot of money. Scientists with computationally-intensive tasks may be able to use BOINC. A BOINC project requires just a single Linux server, and can provide computing power equivalent to a cluster with tens of thousands of CPUs. [4] Some of the projects that have used BOINC … COMP 655

  10. BOINC’s text with a couple of words changed Copied from a different web site Yet more PLAGIARISM BOINC is optimized for academic projects that need a lot of computing power but don’t have a lot of money. Scientists with computationally-intensive tasks can use BOINC. A BOINC project requires only a single Linux server. The basic principle is that many hands make light work —and at lower cost. Some of the projects that have used BOINC … COMP 655

  11. Some rules • You can quote, but the quotes MUST BE • Introduced as quotes • Set off with quotation marks • Referenced • Brief • Reference text will often match other documents • Rubric text will often match other papers • Scattered, isolated accidental matches may occur • ANY OTHER COPYING IS FORBIDDEN COMP 655

  12. More rules • You should supply references if you • Borrowed an idea and expressed it in your own words • Want to use the reference to support your point • Bottom line guideline: if your paper has more than 25% matching, there’s a good chance that I will ask you to revise it. • Common revisions: • Remove excess quotes • Shorten quotes • Remove rubric text • Re-write sections with high matching COMP 655
