...By definition, plagiarism is the act of presenting the words, ideas, images, sounds, or other creative expression of others as your own. If you have included the words and ideas of others in your work that you neglected to cite, or you have had help you wouldn’t want your teacher to know about, you have plagiarized. There are two types of plagiarism, intentional and unintentional plagiarism. Intentional Copying a friend’s work Buying or borrowing papers Cutting and pasting blocks of text from electronic sources without documenting Media “borrowing” Uninformed Web publishing Unintentional Careless paraphrasing Poor documentation Quoting excessively Failure to use your own “voice” Collaboration is when you work with one or more people on a task assigned in class. It is plagiarism if all members of the group have the exact same answers. If you do not credit your group members on your assignment, then your paper is considered plagiarized. You can answer the questions together, but understand that not everyone writes or words things the same, so add your own personal flare to the work! Students should be aware that Academic Integrity is of great importance at Chandler High School. Each violation of Academic Integrity will result in escalating disciplinary action as outlined below: Violations of Academic Integrity = Cheating, Plagiarism, and Academic Dishonesty including, but not limited to: Copying or sharing questions or answers...

...Evita Sablinska BC1000 Assignment 1 Why is plagiarism considered to be such a grave offence? Nowadays in modern society plagiarism is becoming increasingly prevalent. Sometimes people even do not realise that they have made a plagiarism work. To define what is plagiarism you can simply look up in dictionary. According to Longman Exam Dictionary (2010) the idea of plagiarism is simple, it means, copying someone else's ideas or words without mentioning the original writer or author, or without acknowledging that you have copied their words in exact way it was given in original source. Many people argue that plagiarism is a very serious offence and person who copies someone else's work should be penalised. Others claim that plagiarism is not always such a grave offence, it depends on situation and each plagiarism work should be investigated as an individual case. There is no doubt that plagiarism can be defined as a theft and an offence against original writer or author of any particular work. Chris Park (2003) claimed that plagiarism is more often referred to the theft of someone's ideas and words. According to Chambers Dictionary of Etymology (1988) word plagiarism was originated from word plagarius which means kidnapper, seducer, plunderer, literary thief. It is obvious that if a person takes something that belongs to other person without permission, it automatically becomes a theft. Therefore, even if taking someone else's words or ideas seems innocent, it is still...

...Abstract Plagiarism and other forms of cheating have been around since the beginning of formal education. In order to evaluate the factors that influence the behavior and attitudes towards this moral problem, one must recognize the Internet has made plagiarism a rapidly growing issue in today’s academia. Easy access to the Internet and to a world of what seems to be free information tempts students to copy and paste text into papers with a quick click of a mouse. The Internet also provides a means for students to purchase term papers, without researching or writing assignments on their own. Teachers and faculty must constantly evolve and find new ways to fight the growing problem of plagiarism, including the use of electronic tools implemented by educational institutions to control it. Understanding how and why students plagiarize will provide insight to faculty in combating the ever-persistent problem. Cyber-Plagiarism Plagiarism occurs when students claim someone else’s work as their own, or when they do not give proper credit for information obtained from another source. “The terms cyber-plagiarism, and cyber-cheating have become commonplace in recent years when recounting the phenomenon of students misusing resources that they find via ‘the Net,’” Smith, 2003, p. 22 (as cited in Wiebe, 2006-2008, ¶ 2). Today, many students commit cyber-plagiarism by not putting effort into writing their own work. They take the easy road and purchase ready-made papers...

...titled “How Opal Mehta Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life”. A few weeks after it was released by Alloy it was discovered that she plagiarized several different authors. A few of the authors that she took portions of her work from and the books that they were from are Megan F. McCafferty “Sloppy First”, “Second Helpings”, Toni Morrison “The Bluest Eye” and Tanuja Desai Hidier “Born Confused” (Zhou, 2006) (Dave, 2006). After the plagiarism was discovered her books were taken off the shelves and she lost the contract for the movie. At the time this took place Kaavya Viswanathan was a student at Harvard University, the academic board met to go over the case and they determined that because it was not academic plagiarism that she would not be punished by the school, however she did take a leave of absence from school until all aspects of the case was settled (Dave, 2006). Plagiarism is when someone copies another’s work verbatim and puts their name on it taking full ownership of the work (iParadigms, LLC, 2013). Paraphrasing is also considered to be plagiarism if it is not cited giving credit to the original author of the work. There are a couple ways that someone could mistakenly plagiarize their work. The first is if the person does not know when or how to cite the source from where they got the words from whether it is a full sentence or just paraphrasing. The second is if they use too many of someone’s words throughout the paper they are working on even if they do cite the work...

...Academic honesty and plagiarism are two aspects which develop the individual personality that how we have to be in the communities and society. In adapting these aspects, it may not be clear to students at times. So they tend to go in the wrong direction to complete the work and submit on time. This occurs both in class and online. In class may be the because of the continuous monitoring of the faculty the percentage is bit low when compared to the online classes. So accordingly the steps have to be taken, which enables students to understand the importance of these aspects. This is also serious issue for international students. As the students come from different cultures to prosper the higher education they may not be aware of this aspect of not following the academic honesty and plagiarism. I heard few stories in which the few international students are suspended from the school for not following these issues. So this should be taught in the schools in the beginning sections of their classes so that they can understand the severity of the issue. Now on the other aspect faculty perception on the students’ academic honesty is also important. Students who did not understand the importance of the aspects tend to do the work in a wrong way and submit it which results in the academic dishonesty and plagiarism. These aspects may spoil the bond between the students and faculty. According to my knowledge faculty play an important role in the personality development of the students...

...found. When I first said searching, I decided to use google.com and ask.com as my search engines. I decided to look for academic honesty in higher learning (in its entirety). I had more luck with my findings when I used google.com than when I used ask.com. I picked a few websites that sounded like they'd be useful when writing a paper on the topic. The first two that I chose to visit were findarticles.com and wiki.answers.com. Wiki.answers.com literally gave a one sentence definition of what is believed to be academic dishonesty. Findarticles.com gave a short and simple description on academic dishonesty in online courses and provided a few links to articles about academic dishonesty. Those articles gave very little information on plagiarism and other terms defining academic dishonesty. One of the articles only informed a person about using correct citations in a paper and it was only six to eight sentences long. As with google.com, ask.com provided many links to many different colleges and academic institutions. I'm looking for academic integrity, not links to colleges, or links to different colleges' guidelines on their ideas on academic integrity (although they could somewhat prove to be useful). One thing that I was hoping for were statistics (real case studies) on academic dishonesty in higher learning. I did a search using ask.com for statistics on academic dishonesty. A lot of data was found, but it's accuracy is undetermined for most of the websites provided...

...ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: ARE MORE STUDENTS CHEATING? Dorothy L. R. Jones Norfolk State University ACADEMIC DISHONESTY, with Internet plagiarism as one of the most common forms, is a concern on college and university campuses more than ever before. A review of the literature validates these concerns. According to a 2003 nationwide research study of 23 public and private colleges and universities, conducted by Donald L. McCabe, Internet plagiarism is on the rise. Thirty-eight percent of the undergraduate students surveyed indicated that they had engaged in Internet plagiarism (as cited in Rimer, 2003). Brown, Weible, and Olmosk (2010) found that 49% of students in undergraduate marketing classes admitted cheating in 1988 versus 100% of the students in an undergraduate management class in 2008; a national survey published in Education Week found that 54% of the students surveyed admitted to Internet plagiarism and 76% admitted to cheating; and the Center for Academic Integrity found almost 80% of the college students surveyed admitted to cheating at least once (“Facts About Plagiarism,” 2011). In May 2006, Ohio University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering plagiarism scandal garnered national attention when a review panel found “rampant and flagrant” forms of plagiarism in 34 master’s theses (Grose, 2006); and in November 2010, more than 200 of the 600 students in a University of Central Florida business class confessed that they benefited from accessing online test questions...

...Higher Education, Vol. 28, No. 5, October 2003 In Other (People’s) Words: plagiarism by university students—literature and lessons CHRIS PARK, The Graduate School, Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK ABSTRACT This paper reviews the literature on plagiarism by students, much of it based on North American experience, to discover what lessons it holds for institutional policy and practice within institutions of higher education in the UK. It explores seven themes: the meaning and context of plagiarism, the nature of plagiarism by students, how do students perceive plagiarism, how big a problem is student plagiarism, why do students cheat, what challenges are posed by digital plagiarism and is there a need to promote academic integrity? It is concluded that plagiarism is doubtless common and getting more so (particularly with increased access to digital sources, including the Internet), that there are multiple reasons why students plagiarise and that students often rationalise their cheating behaviour and downplay the importance of plagiarism by themselves and their peers. It is also concluded that there is a growing need for UK institutions to develop cohesive frameworks for dealing with student plagiarism that are based on prevention supported by robust detection and penalty systems that are transparent and applied consistently. Introduction Much has been written on the theme of plagiarism by students, particularly in the context of North American experience. This...

...Quarterly” the article was written in 2008 and its authors are, Sileo, J. M., & Sileo, T. W. The second article used for my research was found when searching with key words “online academic honesty” and was conducted also in the EBSCO Discovery Service. The title of the second article is “Monitoring Help Ensure Academic Honesty”, which was written in 2005 by Online Classroom, 1-3. From information contained in these two articles came specific items at concern for academic honesty in an online or distance learning environment. One issue that was consistent for online the distance learning environment is using internet term paper websites to download or purchase papers, plagiarism in its most extreme form. The best remedy for this would be a good software detection program such as the University’s Plagiarism Checker program. This can catch all kinds of used data as long as they have been used before. Another issue could be since connected to distance learning and academic honesty is the availability for students to communicate during exams and quizzes. As students in distance learning are not monitored as in a traditional classroom and have the ability of email and Instant Messaging it is easy to communicate with each other regarding test and quiz material and even answers while preparing and even taking the test. Ways to combat this practice would be to give timed tests where the time for communication would limit the number of questions that...
