  2. Plagiarism • Buying, selling or borrowing a paper • Hiring someone to write your paper • Copying large sections of text and pasting it in your paper • Incorrectly paraphrasing a source • Building on someone’s ideas

  3. Avoid plagiarism by • Giving credit to the original author with in-text citations • ……(author #). • ……(title #). • Works cited page

  4. When is an in-text citation necessary? • Words and ideas presented in a source • Information gained through an interview • Copy exact wording and phrases • Diagrams, illustrations, charts, pictures… • Reuse audio or video media in a presentation.

  5. Do not credit • Your own experiences, observations, insights, thoughts, conclusions • Your results for an experiment conducted by you • Your artwork, tables, graphs, pictures • Common knowledge • Same information undocumented in at least five credible sources • If you can assume your readers already know the information • Generally accepted facts: Smoking is bad for your health..

  6. Correctly paraphrasing /quoting • Use a tag to introduce the source • According to …. • In the article titled… • __________ stated…. wrote, suggested, claims, thinks, believes….. • Use source information at the end of the sentence and in parenthesis • (author #). • (Title #). # is a page number or paragraph number that the information is found on. Title can be a shortened form

  7. Quoting • Use sparingly • Have a purpose--- surprise, strong statements… • Use quotations at the beginning and end of the quote • Do not include the in-text citation in the quotations. • Can quote phrases • Should be short--- long passages are not effective quotes

  8. Paraphrasing • Use different words AND sentence structure. • Set passage aside and do not look back when paraphrasing • Use quotations around phrasing that is the same as in the passage. • May be longer or as long as the original passage

  9. Paraphrase the following quote • “If you don’t take control of your life, don’t complain when others do. ” • Beth MendeConny

  10. Conny is stating that: • Using the excuse that “someone made you do it” is not viable, you allowed that person to control you. • Take responsibility for your actions rather than blaming your actions on someone else. • You should make your own decisions or live someone else’s dreams. • By refusing to make decisions for yourself, you allow another to make your decisions for you. • Indecisiveness gives permission for other people to decide for you. • Don’t base your decisions on other people, base decisions on your goals.
