- The most blatant type of plagiarism is the
act of turning in someone else's entire work as your own.
If you were to go to the web and download a paper, put your own name
on it, and turn it in, you risk dismissal from the University.
Using the same tools you might have used to find the paper or software
designed specifically for this purpose, professors and librarians can
track down the original work and charge you with an honor code violation.
- Direct quotations, even if you
change a few words, must be identified with indention or quotation marks
and be properly cited. When you copy words, phrases,
sentences, or paragraphs from a source you must acknowledge the author
with a proper citation.
- Paraphrases, restatements or summaries
of the sense of another author's ideas in your own words, must also
be properly cited. You may begin the paraphrase with
signal phrases such as "according to Smith" or "a recent study has shown"
and end with a citation to the original work.
- Images, video and sound clips,
or software programs that you download from the Internet must be properly
cited. Even though you can easily download them it is
still plagiarism to claim them as your own intellectual property by
not properly citing the creator.
