PLAGIARISM By: Jayme. H and Katie. N
Plagiarism is putting someone else’s work as your own • Using images, audio, video, spread sheets, etc. without proper citation • Buying or submitting someone's else's research paper • Having someone write all or part of your paper • Citing a source with false/ fake bibliographic information
Plagiarism is a problem because it is a kind of cheating • The students do it to get higher grades because it would take less time to copy than do the work themselves • Students can get put into further education or employment with skills they don’t have
Fact: 72% of high school students and 84% of college students admit to cheating on written assignments
Whether intentional or unintentional plagiarism is considered a serious academic offence • In academic culture new “ideas” belong to their creator • Creators take ownership of their work • When sources are not properly acknowledge a creators right of ownership is threatened • At the university level plagiarism can undermine the credibility of research done at academic institutions • Universities have little tolerance for this type of behavior • Plagiarism comes down to human judgment
Consequences if caught • You can get a 0 on the assignment • Depending on how large the plagiarism was you can get suspended for 2-3 days • Can get a final warning and suffer expulsion
Avoiding Plagiarism • Making sure you understand the material you are using • Avoid relying heavily on the ideas or work of others • Make sure you know how to cite correctly • You could take workshops at the library to understand more about plagiarism and how not to do it • Stay away from the internet “ paper mills” • Always acknowledge the original resource that you used whenever you: • Borrow text materials, ideas, arguments, charts, graphs, maps, illustration, video, audio, etc. • Quote passages directly : quoting a source you must quote word for word • Paraphrase or summarize ideas or arguments • Present Facts that are not “common knowledge”
