Whenever you use someone else’s ideas or words without giving them credit, you are plagiarizing.

These are examples of plagiarism:
Quoting or paraphrasing material without citing the source of that material Quoting a source without using quotation marks Citing sources you didn’t use Submitting a paper that you got from another student or downloaded from the Internet Using work done by another student

Intellectual Property is a recent focus of the law

7

8

9
Taking good notes… Write down the main ideas, not something you know already. Use only enough words so that you will understand it all later. theprepbook.com
10
Use quotation marks around anything you copy directly, word-for-word.
11
Copy citations for EVERYTHING!!

13
There are several ways to take your notes efficiently.
This is not one of them!
14
Index cards Subject: What is this card telling you about?
Notes: Whatever you copy directly should have quotation marks around it. It is suggested that you put [brackets around your own ideas , questions, or comments] Each subject or source should have its own card. Later you can sort the cards according to the subjects. Source: Author; title of article and magazine, book, or journal; page number; publisher; date; URL if website; where the source is located so you can find it again

16
Don’t copy large blocks of text. Instead, summarize or paraphrase it.
18
A summary is a brief telling of the essential points of the text IN YOUR OWN WORDS.
19
How to summarize a paragraph:
Read the paragraph twice Identify the topic sentence Underline key words or phrases, look for sentences that compare/contrast ideas Turn the paper over so you can’t see the paragraph Write the summary in 1-2 sentences using your own words
20
How to summarize an article:
Analyze using FAT-P (Form, Audience, Topic, Purpose) Pay special attention to the beginning and ending paragraphs Underline key words and phrases Read the article more than once if necessary Make sure that you can tell the difference between main ideas and supporting details Draft a several-sentence summary, read it, and revise it
21
FAT-P Form: Is it a text article, a letter, a journal?
Audience: Who is the writer writing for? Who did he/she want to see this piece of writing? Topic: What is the article about? Purpose: Why did the writer write it? To inform, persuade, entertain?
22
Paraphrasing is a little trickier…it is NOT just re-arranging words
Paraphrasing is a little trickier…it is NOT just re-arranging words. You must use your own words and vary the sentence structure from the original
23
How to paraphrase: Read the entire text several times until you are confident that you understand its meaning You can pretend that you have to explain this to someone who wouldn’t understand the original (someone younger? just learning English?) Put the original text aside and write your own text Compare your text with the original to make sure that you have correctly stated the information, but in a different way Use quotation marks if you used any exact phrase from the original Cite your source!!!
24
So what’s the difference between summarizing and paraphrasing?
25
A summary covers the main ideas of the text in one or two sentences.
A paraphrase re-tells a block of the text in your own words, including the details. languagearts.pppst.com
