“If you are not so worried about presenting yourself as absolutely unique, then
it’s O.K.
…if you say other people’s words, it’s O.K. if you say things you don’t believe,
…it’s O.K. if you write papers you couldn’t care less about because they
accomplish the task, which is turning something in and getting a grade
… and it’s O.K. if you put words out there without getting any credit.”
~Susan D. Blum anthropologist at The University of Notre Dame, author of “My
Word!: Plagiarism and College Culture” on student attitudes toward plagiarism
10. It’s out there, why not reuse it?
What does intellectual property mean to
you? Is it an important idea, why or why
not?
With so much information out there, is
there such a thing as an original idea?
Does that mean you have to credit every
single person?
How does plagiarism affect academia?
11. Why does it matter?
Johnson, S. (2010) Where good ideas
come from. TED: Ideas worth spreading.
http://www.ted.com/talks/steven_johnso
n_where_good_ideas_come_from.html
“We take ideas from other people, from people we've
learned from, from people we run into in the coffee shop, and
we stitch them together into new forms and we create
something new. That's really where innovation happens.
12. Why does it matter?
How is this video connected to the library
session on learning how to research? Is it
connected to plagiarism? Why or why not?
If ideas come from multiple people working
together and building off of each other, when
you try to give credit, who do you give it to?
How can you stay
connected/current/organized while doing
your research?
13. Common Knowledge
Quandary
“I’ve heard that common knowledge doesn’t
have to be cited. What is common
knowledge?”
Some examples:
Waste not, want not.
George Washington was the first president of
the US
College students like pizza…
When in doubt, cite it.
14. The point is…
No matter where you are, you will constantly
need to assess the information around you
In order to be an informed consumer you
should know how to evaluate the information
you acquire
In order to support your own arguments you
should know how to research your question
and cite your sources
