  14. How to Avoid Plagiarism • Cite the source of any idea or words you take from anyone else. • Carefully mark the beginning and end of the source’s words or idea. • Provide a bibliography to show where the borrowed material originated.

  15. Let’s look at some hypothetical situations.For each, determine if the student plagiarized or did not.Click on the arrow to move to the next page.

  16. Jack’s Situation Jack has an English paper due tomorrow. He read the book and paid attention during class, but he has no idea what to write about. Jack logs onto the Internet “just to get some ideas about topics for his paper.” He finds a great idea and begins writing his paper using the topic he found. He is very careful to avoid copying any text or words from the Internet article he found. Is this plagiarism? Yes No

  18. You said…Jack did plagiarize. You are right. Jack’s actions constitute plagiarism. • Jack is committing plagiarism by taking the ideas of the source without citing them in the paper. • Even though he put the ideas in his own words, Jack is stealing the intellectual property of the source.

Pick one of the answers below. • Do not cite the • source. • This means that the information is a • commonly reported fact. It is generally • known and available from many sources. • Jack should verify the information in at • least two sources, then • Jack will write the well-known • information in his own words. • Cite the source. • This means he will: • Either: • Surround with quotation marks, or • Put the quotation into his own words, • changing the syntax, structure, • & organization • You must choose one of the buttons at the bottom of the p... • Include a lead-in giving the source’s name, • Give the page number, and • List the source in a bibliography
