PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 20 exercises on plagiarism and cheating

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 21. example 1. John F. Kennedy was elected President of the United States in 1960.

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 22. This is generally known information. You do not need to document this fact.

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 23. example 2. According the American Family Leave Coalition's new book, Family Issues and Congress, President Bush's relationship with Congress has hindered family leave legislation (6).

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 24. You must document facts that are not generally known and ideas that interpret facts. The idea that "Bush's relationship with Congress has hindered family leave legislation" is not a fact but an interpretation; consequently, you need to cite your source.

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 25. example 3. You take a sentence from a professional journal and reorder the phrases, keeping the meaning and most phrases intact. You do not cite your source. Is this plagiarism?

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 26. This is plagiarism. Simply reordering the phrases does not make the work original. You must either quote and indent the passage as written and cite the source or put the ideas into your own words, with your own phrasing, and cite the source.

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 27. example 4. You find a paper online that answers your assignment instructions exactly and submit it as your work. Is this plagiarism?

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 28. This is plagiarism. You did none of the work and are telling your instructor that you wrote this paper. This is theft of someone else's work.

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 29. example 5. Your roommate took the same math course last year that you are taking now. To save yourself some time, you copy your roommates old homework assignments and turn them in as your own. Is this cheating?

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 31. example 6. You copy another author's ideas to compare and contrast with your own ideas. You indent the text, identify the author, and use quotation marks when stating the author's ideas.You also provide a citation of the work you copied in the bibliography of your paper. Is this plagiarism?

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 32. This is not an act of plagiarism because you formatted the text to indicate the ideas that belong to someone else and cited the original author in your bibliography.

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 33. example 7. You copy and paste text from a Web site into your paper and don't cite the original author because everyone knows that material on the Web is free for anyone to use. Is this plagiarism?

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 34. This is plagiarism. Just because information is posted at a Web site doesn't mean that you don't need to give credit to the original author.

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 35. example 8. Your friend in Biology class has been sick for a week and is behind with her work. You feel sorry for her and offer to help her with the assignment that is due tomorrow. After reviewing your class notes with her, you lend her your report to copy. Is this considered cheating?

BIBLIOGRAPHY A list of sources used in preparing a work CITATION A short, formal indication of the source of information or quoted material. The act of quoting material or the material quoted.

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 42. CITE to indicate a source of information or quoted material in a short, formal note. to quote to ascribe something to a source. COMMON KNOWLEDGE Information that is readily available from a number of sources or so well-known that its sources do not have to be cited. The fact that carrots are a source of Vitamin A is common knowledge, and you could include this information in your work without attributing it to a source. However, any information regarding the effects of Vitamin A on the human body are likely to be the products of original research and would have to be cited. COPYRIGHT A law protecting the intellectual property of individuals, giving them exclusive rights over the distribution and reproduction of that material.

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 43. ENDNOTES Notes at the end of a paper acknowledging sources and providing additional references or information. FACTS Knowledge or information based on real, observable occurrences. Just because something is a fact does not mean it is not the result of original thought, analysis, or research. Facts can be considered intellectual property as well. If you discover a fact that is not widely known nor readily found in several other places, you should cite the source. FAIR USE The guidelines for deciding whether the use of a source is permissible or constitutes a copyright infringement.

A paraphrase must make significant changes in the style and voice of the original while retaining the essential ideas. If you change the ideas, then you are not paraphrasing -- you are misrepresenting the ideas of the original, which could lead to serious trouble.

PSY-219 Academic Writing in Psychology 45. PLAGIARISM The reproduction or appropriation of someone else's work without proper attribution; passing off as one's own the work of someone else PUBLIC DOMAIN The absence of copyright protection; belonging to the public so that anyone may copy or borrow from it.
