Did You Know? The word plagiarism comes from the Latin plagiarius meaning "kidnapper"

What is plagiarism? “If you attempt to use another person's work as if it were your own: –without adequate acknowledgement of the original source; –and if this is done in work that you submit for a grade then you are attempting to deceive your teacher, your parents, or anyone reading the paper. In other words, plagiarism is cheating and it is deceitful in that you are trying to claim the credit for something that is not your work”.

The Simplest Definition of Plagiarism: PoliticsNJ, The Pulblis Group, Hoboken, NJ.

Joke Plagiarism Some of the things that you think you know about plagiarism may be wrong. Alive or dead, it does not matter. If it is not your own idea, you must cite your source!! Carnegie Mellon University, Enhancing Education, “Plagiarism and the Web.”

The Plagiarism Handbook by Roger A. Harris,

Two types of plagiarism: Intentional –Copying a friend’s work –Buying or borrowing papers –Cutting and pasting blocks of text from electronic sources without documenting –Media “borrowing”without documentation –Web publishing without permissions of creators Unintentional –Careless paraphrasing –Poor documentation –Quoting excessively –Failure to use your own “voice”

What’s the big deal? If I change a few words, I’m okay, right? Wrong! Paraphrasing original ideas without documenting your source, is plagiarism too!

You cannot use someone else’s paper, art work, or presentation without proper citation even if he gave you permission. (Of course, your instructor may not want someone else’s paper as your work even with proper citation!) You may even have to cite yourself. If you created a work for a previous paper or presentation, and you are using it again, you must cite your previous work. Did you notice that ‘roommate’ is spelled incorrectly on the previous slide?

Guidelines for avoiding plagiarism Use your own words and ideas. This is a skill that improves with practice. It requires an under- standing of the topic It requires that you give yourself credit for your own abilities

Plagiaris m Trying to claim the credit for something that is not your work. Plagiarism – Don’t Do It !!!
