What is Plagiarism?

Note - for technical reasons I am unable to upload files to these tutorials at the moment. I will use links until the problem is solved.

Any students having trouble accessing presentations should bring a USB flash drive to me for copying of actual files.

 

Tutorial Aspects:

  1. the definition of plagiarism
  2. types of plagiarism
  3. consequences of committing plagiarism

 

Learning Plan:

Monday: Read and / or watch the powerpoint presentation / video. Both contain similar information.

 

  • PPT

Megan Lowe,

http://www.ulm.edu/~lowe/plagiarism.ppt

 

  • Video

Rutgers

http://library.camden.rutgers.edu/EducationalModule/Plagiarism/

 

You can stop reading / watching when the presentation starts discussing ways to avoid plagiarism. We will look at citation; paraphrasing, quotation and summary separately.

Focus on the tutorial aspects.

 

** Assessment **

By the end of this week, students must email proof of certification from this online plagiarism quiz site.

Students can start self-testing now.
