  1. Plagiarism What is it & How do I prevent it?

  2. True or False? • Plagiarism is the act of presenting the words and ideas of others as your own.

  3. Definition: Plagiarism is the act of presenting the words, ideas, images, sounds, or the creativeexpression of others as your own.

  4. True or False? • Plagiarism is done intentionally.

  5. Intentional • Copying a friend’s work • Buying or borrowing papers • Cutting and pasting blocks of text from electronic sources without documenting • Media “borrowing” without documentation • Web publishing without permissions of creators

  6. Unintentional • Careless paraphrasing • Poor documentation • Quoting excessively • Failure to use your own “voice”

  7. True or False? • Committing plagiarism results in a failing grade.

  8. Is it worth the risk? • “0” on the assignment • Parent notification • Referral to administrators • Suspension or dismissal from school activities--sports and extracurricular • Note on student record • Loss of reputation among the school community

  9. Ways to prevent plagiarism • Quotations are the exact words of an author, copied directly from a source, word for word. Quotations must be cited! “ “

  10. Ways to eliminate plagiarism • Paraphrasing means rephrasing the words of an author, putting his/her thoughts in your own words. When you paraphrase, you rework the source’s ideas, words, phrases, and sentence structures using your own words. Like quotations, paraphrased material must be followed with in-text documentation and cited on your Works-Cited page.

  11. Paraphrasing does NOT mean changing one or two words in someone else's work or using synonyms to replace certain words. If you do this, you are plagiarizing, not paraphrasing. “The snail with the implanted biofuel cell will be able to operate in a natural environment, producing sustainable electrical micropower for activating various bioelectronic devices.” (Direct quote) The snail with an implanted biofuel cell can live in a natural environment to produce maintainable electrical micropower for starting numerous bioelectronic devices. (So-called paraphrasing)

  12. Ways to eliminate plagiarism • Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) of one or several writers into your own words, including only the main point(s). Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material. Again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to their original sources.

  13. In any case . . . • Whether you quote, paraphrase, or summarize, you must citewhere you got the information by using parenthetical references. • MLA is the type of citation style used at KM.

  14. Parenthetical Reference It is also called an “in-text citation.” • Purpose--to give immediate source information without interrupting the flow of paper or project. • Brief information in in-text documentation should match full source information in Works Cited page.

  15. It looks like . . . • Parenthetical citations are usually placed at the end of a sentence, before the period, but they may be placed in the middle of sentence. They might even choose to sit in an area sectioned off for smokers or non-smokers, but the ultimate issue is choice (Ruwart 1). Cite the author's last name and the page number.

  16. It also looks like . . . In the absence of an author, “According to the California Licensed Beverage Association, business has dropped as much as 85 percent . . . since the prohibition took effect” (“Bar Owners Vow” 1). cite the title and the page number

  17. It can also look like . . . • If you identify the author and title in the text, just list the page number at the end of the quote. “In the novel,Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, Lennie thinks of George’s disapproval each time he does something wrong.Lennie says softly, “I tried not to forget, George. Honest to God I did, George” (6).

  18. What is a Works Cited page? • A single page located at the very end of your essay that lists the sources that you cited in your essay.
