4. Plagiarism is… A breach of the Holland College Code of Conduct for Learners!! Consequences may range from…  Formal warning  Probation  Suspension, or  Dismissal

5. Plagiarism includes…  Copying an entire paper and claiming it as your own  Copying part of a paper and claiming it as your own  Copying information from a source and passing it off as your own  Cutting and pasting from the web or any other electronic resource and passing it off as your own

7. How do I Avoid It?  Use your own words and ideas  Give credit for direct quotes using quotation marks and citing the source  Give credit for websites, photos, diagrams, graphics, multimedia  Paraphrases, restating the author’s words or ideas in your own words, must be cited  Cosmetic changes still require a citation, i.e., reversing order, changing layout

8. To Cite or Not to Cite ? (Harris 2001)

9. Cite unless it’s….  Proverbs or sayings e.g., Beggars can’t be choosers  Common knowledge (can find a fact in several sources) e.g., Sir John A. Macdonald was the first prime minister of Canada. When in Doubt ….. CITE IT!!

13. Question 3 a)Yes, it’s plagiarism b)No, it isn’t c)Don’t know You find a great idea in an article, so you use it in your paper. You don’t bother to cite the source of the idea because you’ve expressed it in your own words. Is this plagiarism?

14. Quotations  Double quotation marks around short quotations (<40 words).  Longer quotations (>40 words) block indent and omit quotation marks.  Changing quotations, i.e., omitting text (…) or inserting text ([ ])

15. Short Quotation (<40 words) “An honor code usually consists of a signed statement in which students promise not to cheat and not to tolerate those who do” (Harris 2001; p. 117).

16. Long Quotation (>40 words) Athletes are searching for anything that will make them more competitive including nutritional supplements, such as vitamins, energy bars and drinks that may compensate for dietary deficiencies, and over-the-counter products like shark cartilage and amino acids, which purport to increase muscle mass, boost energy and endurance, prompt weight gain (or loss), or reduce recovery time between workouts (Jollimore 2004; p. 54).

17. In-Text Citation Jollimore (2004) states that “For all the progress athletes are making in eating well, many continue to rely on risky dietary supplements, which are often tainted by banned substances such as nandrolone” (p. 54). OR

18. In-Text Citation It has been suggested that “For all the progress athletes are making in eating well, many continue to rely on risky dietary supplements, which are often tainted by banned substances such as nandrolone” (Jollimore 2004; p. 54).

19. Adding Text to a Quotation ( [ ] ) “Most American journalists are holed up in their rooms [in Baghdad], reporting the war by remote: scanning the wires, working their cell phones, watching broadcasts of Al Jazeera” (Reitman 2004; p. 110).

20. Omitting Text from a Quotation (…) Canada supports sustainable development activities, including responsible hydrocarbon exploration and development, in habitats that are not critical to wildlife. “Canada Supports sustainable development activities … in habitats that are not critical to wildlife” (Anderson 2001; p.15).

21. Paraphrasing  Restating the author’s ideas into your own words  Need to do more than just change a word or two

22. Paraphrasing Original text: “Admissions officers agree that whatever the topic, everything rests in the execution. They look for a thoughtful, revelatory essay that enhances the rest of a student’s application” (Flora 2004; p. 24). Sample Paraphrase: A students’ application for admission is based on many things, one being a creative and unique essay (Flora 2004).
