Rather than tell you, we’ll show you. Let’s watch this Youtube video called “A Quick Guide to Plagiarism” (Bambuzelsky). As you watch the video, notice all of the different kinds of plagiarism. How many kinds do you see? https://mediaspace.mnscu.edu/media/t/1_ d28gro38 https://mediaspace.mnscu.edu/media/t/1_ d28gro38

From the video, we learned that plagiarism comes in many different forms:
10
LET’S FIND OUT… Teresa
11
A survey of over 63,700 US undergraduate and 9,250 graduate students over the course of three years (2002-2005)—conducted by Donald McCabe, Rutgers University—revealed the following:
12
60 % of college students admit to “paraphrasing/copying a few sentences from Internet source without footnoting it.”
13
21% of students admit to “fabricating/falsifying a bibliography”
14
15 % self report “turning in work done by another.”
15
Gives authority to our writing Gives the reader a place to look for more information Gives credit to the source—someone else did the work. In American society, we are all individuals and appreciate individual recognition! Negative consequences—even legal consequences—of plagiarism
16
Words of wisdom from Cassandra Labairon, English Instructor at South Central College. https://mediaspace.mnscu.edu/media/Accidental +Plagiarisim/1_ltgrzox3 https://mediaspace.mnscu.edu/media/Accidental +Plagiarisim/1_ltgrzox3
17
Since plagiarism is so serious, we should get into the habit of giving credit to the author of the words we are quoting.
18
We cite our sources so that teachers and other readers know who originally authored it and so others can find the source if they want to learn more. If we want to correctly cite a famous quote, how would we do it? How would we avoid plagiarism?
19
Let’s cite this one: -“Hasta la vista, Baby!” -Arnold Schwartzenegger
20
For citing a movie quote in MLA style, you just need to mention the film’s title in italics within the paragraph.
21
The film’s title is Terminator.
22
So our intext citation would look something like this: Many movie-goers laugh when Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character in Terminator says, “Hasta la vista, Baby.”
24
The works cited page provides more complete information about the source so that someone can look it up and see what you saw and also learn more.
25
This is what you need to provide: › Information on the creator of the work › The title of the work › Publishing information / date › The page numbers if your source has them (a movie doesn’t) › Type of source—print, film, web, etc.
26
Your works cited entry in MLA style would look like this: Terminator. Dir. James Cameron. Perf. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. Hemdale, 1984. Film.
27
Where can you look for directions? What resources are available? How can you check to see if you did it right?

29
To quote or not to quote? That is the question… What is a quote? › Exact words spoken or written by someone. What is a paraphrase? › A retelling of what was said or written, using our own words. Do I have to cite both?------YES!!!!
30
Quote: In Terminator, Arnold Schwartzenegger said, “Hasta la vista, Baby.” Paraphrase: In Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger told other characters in Spanish that he would see them later.
