and other writing tips…*

What Is Plagiarism?
 Use of another’s work without giving
credit

 “Intentionally or knowingly representing


the words, ideas, or work of another as
one’s own in any academic exercise”
(CSUN 2010-2012 Catalog, Appendix E)
Discussion Question
 Why should we be concerned
about it?
Because…
 If you plagiarize, you are cheating yourself.

You don’t learn to write out your thoughts in your own
words, and you don’t get specific feedback geared to
your individual needs and skills.

Plagiarizing a paper is like sending a friend to
basketball practice for you – you’ll never get the benefit
of the practice yourself.
Plagiarism is dishonest because it
misrepresents the work of another as your own.
 Plagiarism devalues others' original work.


Submitting another writer's work as yours is taking an
unfair advantage over students who do their own work.
Because…
 It is wrong to take or use property (an author's
work) without giving the owner the value or
credit due.

 Copyright violations can result in fines or legal


damages.
Discussion Questions
 Why do people plagiarize?

 What can we do to prevent it?


Types of Plagiarism
 Intentional plagiarism:
deliberate copying or use of another’s work without credit.
 Unintentional plagiarism can result from:

not knowing citation standards
(e.g., “I thought the Internet was free!”)

sloppy research and poor note-taking habits, or

careless “copying and pasting” of electronic sources.
 Both types are subject to disciplinary
action

Using a Building on Copying from Hiring Buying,


source too someone’s another source someone to stealing, or
closely when ideas without without citing write your borrowing a
paraphrasing citation (on purpose or paper paper
by accident)

accuracy and honesty of team work

Keep track of your own research and
contributions to the team

Proofread for each other

Read the paper before it is submitted
 Study Groups

When working together on individual
assignments, hand in your own
words/answers

Don’t give others your written answers. You
can discuss how you got your solutions
