Grade of zero for the assignment in question.
Depending on your prior work in the term, a zero on some assignments may mean the difference between a pass and fail in the course.
Previous work in all classes open to investigation.

5. Penalties for Plagiarism
At Post-Secondary Institutions
Depending on severity, penalties range from zero in the course to expulsion from the university and notation on your academic record – available to all other institutions

6. Penalties for Plagiarism
Queen’s University English Department’s Policy:
“The penalties imposed by the Department of English for plagiarism vary according to the severity of the offence and may extend to a mark of zero for the course. Any finding (as opposed to allegation) of plagiarism goes on the student’s record in the Dean’s Office. In the case of multiple findings the Associate Dean (Studies) may impose further sanctions including a recommendation to Senate that the student be required to withdraw from the University” (Queen’s University, 2007, p. 3).

7. Tips to Avoid Accidental Plagiarism
Learn about documentation, and how your school and professor/teacher addresses the issue – ask for help!
Save your work in stages, a new file for each draft – this will help provide evidence if you are accused of plagiarism

8. Tips to Avoid Accidental Plagiarism
Don’t just copy directly during research, process the information and write it down into your notes in your own words
If you do cut and paste electronically, change the font colour to distinguish it from your own words

9. Tips to Avoid Accidental Plagiarism
Keep a portfolio of your research – an organized folder of every source, your notes, a working annotated bibliography (“Straight talk about plagiarism,” n.d., p. 2).

10. Documentation
How can we use the work of others in our essays, research papers and presentations without plagiarizing?

11. Why we document
To use the ideas and work of others without stealing and claiming it as our own
To give credit where credit is due

12. What is documentation? Two Components – MUST HAVE BOTH! Citations
Right in the text of your paper
One citation for every fact or idea that is not yours
Bibliography/Works Cited List
Separate page at the end
A list of all of the sources you used
Alphabetical by last name

13. Documentation Part 1: Footnotes, Endnotes and Parenthetical Citations
COMPONENT #1 is THE CITATION
Where you got the fact/idea
Always has minimum:
the author’s name
the page number
year of publication
Immediately after the information, right in the text of your paper.

14. Documentation Part 1: Footnotes, Endnotes and Parenthetical Citations
There are 3 common systems of citation
Chicago style
American Psychological Association (APA) Style
Modern Language Association (MLA) style
Each teacher has their own preference –
follow their guidelines

15. Documentation Part I: What does a Chicago Style citation look like?
Chicago Style Books: 1. First Name Last Name, Book Title (City of publication: Name of Publisher, Date of publication), pg #. Chicago Style Journal Article: 2. First Name Last Name, “Article Title,” Journal Title volume #, issue # (Date of Publication): pg #. Chicago Style Website: 3. First Name Last Name, “Title of Website,” date of publication, <URL Address> (Date of access).
***Note that simply providing the URL address is not sufficient. If your source doesn’t have an author or title – perhaps you should reconsider using that particular source.

16. Documentation Part I: Short Forms for Repeated Citations
When to use ‘Ibid’
Consecutive citations from the same source and same page number.
Example:
3Engel, Joseph, An Awesome Book by Joe (Toronto: Scarborough Publishing, 2012), 13.
4 Ibid.

17. Documentation Part I: Short Forms for Repeated Citations
Two consecutive citations from the same source, but different page numbers:
3Engel, Joseph, An Awesome Book by Joe (Toronto: Scarborough Publishing, 2012), 13.
4 Ibid., 35.

18. Documentation Part I: Short Forms for Repeated Citations
Citing a source that you have already cited earlier in your essay, but not consecutively.
Example:
3Engel, Joseph, An Awesome Book by Joe (Toronto: Scarborough Publishing, 2012), 13.
4Wallace, Shirley, A History of Niagara Falls (Hamilton: McGraw Hill, 2011), 363.
5Engel, An Awesome Book by Joe, 15.

19. Chicago Style Example (footnotes)
First line only indented

20. Documentation Part 1: What does an APA Citation Look Like?
Option 1: All info in brackets
Essentially, “Researchers usually find it easy to determine the year of publication by consulting the bibliography" (Engel, 2012, p. 201), but many students are not aware of this option.

21. Documentation Part 1: What does an APA Citation Look Like?
Option 2 – Using a ‘signal phrase’.
According to Engel (2012), “Researchers usually find it easy to determine the year of publication by consulting the bibliography" (p. 201), but many students are not aware of this option.

22. APA Style Example

23. Documentation Part I: Footnotes, Endnotes and Parenthetical Citations
MLA Style
Similarly to APA style, the information is provided directly within the body of the paper in brackets
The details and formatting are different

24. Documentation Part I: When do I need a citation??
Direct quotes
Paraphrased ideas
Numbers, stats, etc.
Anything that you did not already know
When in doubt, play it safe – use a citation
You need a new citation for each new idea, fact or quote – even if you have multiple facts in a row all from the same source. You cannot put one citation for all of them at the end.

25. Documentation Part I: When do I need a citation??
A second example of this socialist approach can be seen in Great Britain’s social welfare policy. The Labour government’s promise of providing “every family with its own separate commodious dwelling,” in was an honourable goal. As mentioned previously, approximately one third of homes were either destroyed or damaged during the war. The link between the housing program and England’s slow industrial recovery is obvious. Although housing was important, paying to house the nation diverted funds that could have been invested in the rebuilding of industry. Consequently, many workers were housed, but unemployed and unable to provide for their families.

26. Documentation Part II – Bibliography/Works Cited List
Separate page at the end of your document
Lists of sources alphabetically by last name
Title of page depends on format used
Chicago = Bibliography or References
APA = References
MLA = Works Cited

27. Documentation Part II – What does a Chicago Style Bibliographic Entry Look Like?
Chicago Style Books: Last Name, First Name. Book Title. City of publication: Name of Publisher, Year of publication. Chicago Style Journal Article: Last Name, First Name. “Article Title.” Journal Title volume #, issue # (Date of Publication): pg # range. Chicago Style Website: Last Name, First Name. “Title of Web Page.” Publishing Organization or Name of Website in Italics. Publication date and/or access date if available. URL.

28. Bibliography – Chicago
Note:
Single spaced with doubles space between entries
2nd and 3rd line indented, first is not

29. Documentation Part II – What does an APA Style Bibliographic Entry Look Like?
APA Style Books: Last Name, First Initial. Second Initial. (year of publication). Book title. City of publication: Name of Publisher. APA Style Journal Article: Last Name, First Initial. Second Initial. (year of publication). Article Title. Title of Journal, volume #(issue #), page #s. APA Style Website: Last Name, First Initial. Second Initial. (year of publication).
