The horrors of plagiarism and how to avoid them
plagiarism The unacknowledged use of somebody else’s Words or ideas
WHEN TO GIVE CREDIT:
WHENEVER YOU ARE USING OR REFERRING TO SOMEONE ELSE’S words or ideas from
magazine newspaper book song letter advertisement OR ANY OTHER MEDIUM TV program movie Web page Computer program
WHEN YOU USE INFORMATION GAINED THROUGH INTERVIEWING ANOTHER PERSON
WHENEVER YOU COPY THE EXACT WORDS OR A UNIQUE PHRASE FROM SOMEWHERE
WHEN YOU REPRINT DIAGRAMS ILLUSTRATIONS, CHARTS, AND PICTURES
WHEN YOU USE IDEAS OTHERS GAVE YOU IN CONVERSATIONS OVER EMAIL
MARK EVERYTHING THAT Q IS SOMEONE ELSE’S WORDS WITH A BIG Q FOR QUOTE OR WITH BIG QUOTATION MARKS
INDICATE IN YOUR NOTES WHICH IDEAS ARE TAKEN FROM SOURCES (S) AND WHICH ARE YOUR OWN INSIGHTS (ME)
{ WHEN YOU ARE PARAPHRASING: { Write your own paraphrase and summary without looking at the original text RELY ONLY ON YOUR MEMORY
Check your version with the original for accuracy and mistakenly borrowed phrases
DON’T: JUST CHANGE A FEW WORDS AND PHRASES JUST CHANGE THE ORDER OF THE ORIGINAL SENTENCES FAIL TO CITE THE SOURCE OF ANY IDEA OR FACT
“ “ WHEN QUOTING DIRECTLY
KEEP THE PERSON’S NAME NEAR THE QUOTE IN YOUR NOTES AND IN YOUR PAPER
“ “ SELECT QUOTES WITH THE MOSTIMPACT
too many direct quotes may lesson your credibility and interfere with your writing style
How do students avoid plagiarism
YOU MUST GIVE CREDIT WHENEVER: YOU USE ANOTHER PERSON’S OPINION OR THEORY
YOU MUST GIVE CREDIT WHENEVER: YOU USE QUOTATIONS OF ANOTHER PERSON’S ACTUAL SPOKEN OR WRITTEN WORDS.
YOU MUST GIVE CREDIT WHENEVER: YOU PARAPHRASE ANOTHER PERSON’S SPOKEN OR WRITTEN WORDS.
YOU MUST GIVE CREDIT WHENEVER: YOU USE ANY FACTS, STATISTICS, GRAPHS, DRAWINGS—ANY PIECES OF INFORMATION– THAT ARE NOT COMMON KNOWLEDGE
