Module 7: Academic Integrity & Performance


Plagiarism

What is plagiarism?

The practice of copying down other's notes or research and called it their own

Common type

  • Direct Plagiarism- It being noted down word by word without giving credit to the person he took it
  • Self Plagiarism- Occurs when the student submits his own work multiple times or mixed it without the permission of the person he need to submit
  • Mosaic Plagiarism- Occurs when the student borrows some phrases from another author without quotation marks and it's unacceptable if it with intention or not
  • Accidental Plagiarism- It happens when the person is misquoted the quotes he took

How to prevent?

i)     Planning your paper
  • Consult with instructor- You should ask your instructor about the assignment he gave when you didn't understand
  • Plan your paper- You need to know how to put the information that you get from other sources
  • Take effective notes- You need to organize the sources that you get by taking down notes each time you took from other sources
ii)     Writing your paper
  • Cite sources- Even if you are unsure, always cite your sources
  • Make it clear who said it- When you mix the ideas, make sure who said it
  • Paraphrase- You recite other person's idea and state it in your own words. Changing few of the words is NOT paraphrase
  • Analyses- Not every source is correct and in fact most of it could be wrong. You need to know where they get their sources and this could also avoid the plagiarism
