The document discusses plagiarism and proper citation. It defines plagiarism as copying someone else's work and passing it off as your own without giving proper credit. This includes directly copying text, turning in another's paper, using someone else's ideas without citation, or paraphrasing without attribution. The document provides guidelines for integrating and citing others' work, such as using quotation marks for direct quotes and citing sources of ideas. It also discusses reasons why students plagiarize and encourages teaching proper citation to avoid plagiarism.

2.  Plagiarismis derived from two Latin
words; plagiarius which means an
abductor, and plagiare which means to
steal.

4. The definition of plagiarism is:
a. copying text from a source
b. turning in a paper written by someone else
c. using someone else’s ideas without citation
d. All of the above

5. Plagiarism is
 essentially taking the work of others and
attempting to pass it off as one's own.
 which is the un-credited use (both intentional
and unintentional) of somebody else's words or
ideas.
 attempting to blur the line between one’s own
ideas or words and those borrowed from another
source.

7.  Sincewe cannot always be original it is
entirely acceptable to present another
person’s ideas in your work.
 However, it must be done properly to avoid
plagiarism.

8. “When you use someone else's words, you
must put quotation marks around them and
give the writer or speaker credit by revealing
the source in a citation. Even if you revise or
paraphrase the words of someone else or just
use their ideas, you still must give the author
credit in a note. Not giving due credit to the
creator of an idea or writing is very much
like lying."

9.  Teachers play an adversarial role as the
“plagiarism police” instead of a coaching
role as educators.

12.  Students are natural economizers. Many
students are interested in the shortest route
possible through a course. That's why they
ask questions such as, "Will this be on the
test?" Copying a paper sometimes looks a the
shortcut through an assignment, especially
when the student feels overloaded with work
already.
 The purpose of the course is to learn and
develop skills and not just "get through." The
more you learn and develop your skills, the
more effective you will be in the future
lives.

14.  Students are faced with too many choices, so
they put off low priorities. With so many
things to do (both academic & recreational),
many students put off assignments that do
not interest them.
 A remedy here would be to customize the
research topic to include something of real
interest to the students or to offer topics
with high intrinsic interest to them.

15.  Students may have poor time-management
skills or they may plan poorly for the time
and effort required for research-based
writing, and believe they have no choice but
to plagiarize.
 Some students are just procrastinators, while
others do not understand the hours required
to develop a good research paper, and they
run out of time as the due date looms. Thus,
they are most tempted to copy a paper when
time is short and they have not yet started
the assignment.

16.  Students may fear failure or fear taking risks in
their own work.
 Some students fear that their writing ability is
inadequate.
 Fear of a bad grade and inability to perform
cause some students to look for a superior
product. Sadly, these students are among those
least able to judge a good paper and are often
likely to turn in a very poor copied one.
 Reassuring students of the help available to
them (your personal attention, a writing center,
teaching assistants, online writing lab sites, etc.)
may give them the courage to persevere.

17.  Studentsmay view the course, the
assignment, the conventions of academic
documentation, or the consequences of
cheating as unimportant.

18. A few students like the thrill of rule
breaking. The more angrily you condemn
plagiarism, the more they can hardly wait to
do it.

19.  B. CHEATING:
 Receiving or giving aid on a test or
examination. Test or examination includes
any work performed for which a grade is
received.
 Plagiarism is a violation of the Honor Code.
Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's
words or ideas as your own without giving
proper credit to the source:

20.  (1) When you quote another's words exactly you
must use quotation marks and a footnote (or an
indication in your paragraph) to tell exactly
where the words came from, down to the page
number(s).
 (2) When you mix another's words and ideas with
your own in one or more sentences, partially
quoting the source exactly and partially
substituting your own words, you must put
quotation marks around the words you quote and
not around your own. Then you cite the source,
down to the page number(s). [See (1) above]

21.  (3) When you paraphrase another's words or
ideas, that is, when you substitute your words
for another's words but keep those idea(s), you
do not use quotation marks, but you must cite
the source, down to the page number(s). [See
(1) above]
 (4) When you use only another's idea(s), knowing
that they are the other's ideas, you must cite the
source of that idea or those ideas, down to the
page number(s). [See (1) above]
 (5) Citing the source means giving, as a
minimum, the author, the title of the book, and
the page number.

22.  It is unethical
 It is illegal
 It is against all academic code of conduct
 It robs the plagiarizer of important skills.
 It robs the original writer of their intellectual
property.

23.  Plagiarism is stealing.
 In written work, student are expected to
identify the ideas which are not their own and
give appropriate credit to the source. To do
otherwise is to mislead the reader/instructor
and receive unwarranted credit.
 Bottom line, it is cheating.
 When students sign their names to paper they
are authenticating that all the work has been
accomplished by themselves.

24.  When borrowing another person’s words, use
quotation marks and include complete
reference (author’s name, date, pages).
 Internet sources must also be acknowledged.
 When borrowing another person’s ideas,
acknowledge their origin.
 Do not paraphrase another writer’s words
and pass them off as your own.

25.  Ifyou use someone else’s words, data, etc.,
use quotation marks and give a complete
reference.
 Ifyou borrow someone else’s ideas, give a
complete reference.

26.  Text that has been copied word for word
from the original document without any
quotation marks that would indicate that the
passage is a quote.
 Even though you mention your source,
you use many of the author’s words without
quotation marks.
 Ifyou paraphrase without indicating the
original source.
 Even though most of the words have been
changed, the sentence structure has
remained the same.

 How do you remember things you have read
or seen?
 Why are there laws against plagiarism?
 How are ideas “property”?

31.  Vanilla Ice vs Queen & Bowie
Vanilla Ice became a household word for a while, not
because of his talent, but because of the copyright
infringement that occurred in 1990 when it came to light
that he had sampled Queen and David Bowie’s “Under
Pressure” without consent or license. Ice Ice Baby hit
number one on the charts in the United States and Vanilla
Ice became the one ‘under pressure’. Vanilla Ice altered
the rhythm of the baseline thinking he would thereby avoid
any question of credit, royalties, license or even
permission. This case never went to court as it was clear
that Vanilla Ice had stolen the sample without permission.
He settled out of court with Queen and David Bowie for an
undisclosed but very likely very high amount. Ice Ice Baby
has been released in many different versions, since then,
with all of the legal procedures followed.
