  1. What is it? Let’s decide as a class. Plagiarism

  2. Why do international students plagiarize? • They don’t know that Park University doesn’t allow plagiarism • They don’t understand what plagiarism is • International students don’t like making mistakes in their English, so they use English that someone else has written because they know it is correct • In some cultures knowledge is to be shared—it doesn’t belong to an individual

  3. What are the consequences if I plagiarize? • The 1st time I receive a zero on the essay. • The 2nd time I receive an F in the class for the semester. • I might be expelled from the university. • I might lose my F-1 visa.

  4. Session 2: Solutions • Cite • Paraphrase • Summarize

  5. Session 2: Cite • If your citation is less than 3 typed lines, put quotations around it and end with the author’s name and the page number in parentheses. Example: “You can identify Americans anywhere in the world because of their behavior” (Hall and Hall 140).

  6. Session 2: Cite • The last page of your essay is titled “Works Cited” • Put all resources that you quoted on this page • See OWL Purdue for information about how to cite sources • http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/02/

  7. Session 3: Paraphrase • When you paraphrase something, you write the ideas in your own words.

  8. Session 3: Paraphrase • 6 Steps to Effective Paraphrasing • Read the passage several times. • Don’t look at the original. Write what you remember of the important ideas on a note card. • Put a title on the top of the note card about the subject.

  9. Session 3: Paraphraseing • 6 steps, continued • Reread the original to make sure you have the right ideas. • Use quotation marks around any phrases you have copied exactly. • Write down the source (title, author, publisher, date, page number) so that you can cite it if you use it in your paper.

  10. Session 4: Summarize • A summary is a short statement giving the main ideas of a passage.

  11. Session 4: Assignment • Find a paragraph in one of your books and type it up. Write: • A summary of the paragraph (1-2 sentences) • A paraphrase of the paragraph • E-mail the original paragraph, the summary, and the paraphrase to me. We will look at some of these as a class and discuss them.
