What is PLAGIARISM?
Use of another person's work without acknowledgment with the intent to pass it off as your own
Buying, stealing, borrowing, or otherwise obtaining all or part of a paper; hiring someone to write a paper
Submitting the same paper for more than one class
It is a serious offense
It’s easier to track than you think.
Instructors reading your work have a very sound knowledge of the field of interest you are writing about, and can recognize the use of other’s work.
It is easier than ever to find the source of plagiarized material.
When is plagiarism most likely to happen? When assignments or papers are left to the
last minute….plan ahead and stage your work to avoid last minute writing….
When students are stressed by multiple life or academic pressures and try to take short cuts
When students are not careful about their note-taking, or instead of note-taking, copy and paste actual text into their electronic notes folder or paper draft….NEVER DO THIS!
