What is considered plagiarism?

Obviously plagiarism: Buying, stealing, or borrowing a paper

(including from the web) Hiring someone to write your paper for you Copying large sections of text from a source

without quotation marks or proper citation Also plagiarism:

Using a source too closely when paraphrasing Building on someone else’s words or ideas

without citing their work (spoken or written)

What needs to be cited?: A Brief List

Words or ideas presented in a magazine, book, newspaper, song, TV program, movie, Web page, computer program, letter, advertisement, or any other medium

Information you gain through interviewing or conversing with another person, face to face, over the phone, or in writing

When you copy the exact words or a unique phrase When you reprint any diagrams, illustrations, charts,

pictures, or other visual materials When you reuse or repost any electronically-

available media, including images, audio, video, or other media

The Bottom Line

Document any words, ideas, or other productions that

originate somewhere outside of you.

Common Knowledge

You do not need to cite information that is considered “common knowledge” or is a generally accepted fact.

Generally, something does not need to be cited if it is a fact that can be found in at least three reliable sources.

Examples: The sky is blue. Approximately 6 million Jews were killed in the

Holocaust. The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2.

“Common knowledge” applies to specific, brief facts.

Personal Experiences

You do not need to cite when you are writing your own experiences, your own observations, your own insights, your own thoughts, or your own conclusions on a subject.

How do you use someone else’s work?

There are three ways to use the work of someone else: Quoting Paraphrasing Summarizing

Because we want you to build your own understanding of the information through an assignment, most of your use of another person’s work will be in paraphrases and summaries.

Paraphrasing

Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly.

Paraphrasing is a useful skill because the mental process required for successful paraphrasing helps you to grasp the full meaning of the original.

6 Steps to Effective Paraphrasing

1. Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.2. Set the original aside, and write your paraphrase on a note card.3. Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later

how you envision using this material. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.

4. Check your rendition with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information in a new form.

5. Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phraseology you have borrowed exactly from the source.

6. Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can credit it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into your paper.

Summarizing

Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material.
