1.3 “All members of the University community share the responsibility for the academic standards and reputation of the University. Academic integrity is a cornerstone of the development and acquisition of knowledge. It is founded on principles of respect for knowledge, truth, scholarship and acting with honesty. Upholding academic integrity is a condition of continued membership in the university community."
1) Students feel pressure to maintain a high GPA.
2) They don’t know they’re plagiarizing.3) They don’t think they’ll get caught.4) They’re too lazy to do the work.
A while ago, I asked a group of instructors at SFU: “Why do you think students plagiarize?”What do you think the instructors said?
Students are less likely to plagiarize if they – know what plagiarism is – know how to avoid it
Avoiding plagiarism
You need an image for your essay. You go online and find one. You don’t cite the source of your image, because images on the web aren’t protected by copyright.
You find a great idea in an article, so you use it in your paper. You don’t bother to cite the source of the idea because you’ve expressed it in your own words.
You find a good passage in an article. You change a few words, so that it’s different from the original. This way, you don’t need quotation marks. You carefully cite the source.
Is the scenario an example of plagiarism? Why or why not?

Student Learning Commons
Offers free workshops and one-to-one consultations on writing, studying, etc.
Sample topics:– structuring your paper– paraphrasing sources – integrating quotations
Paraphrasing
Two quick tips for paraphrasing …1. Cover the original source while you
paraphrase the idea(s) you want to include.
2. When you take notes, use your own words.
The Student Learning Commons website has good handouts on topics like “Techniques for paraphrasing” and “Quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing”

Citing sources: in-text citations
IEEE in-text example: … methods of electronic productivity [1].
APA in-text example: Hoffmann (2010) discussed electronic
productivity …
Citing sources: Reference lists
IEEE Reference list example for an electronic article: [1] L. Hoffmann, “Mine your business," Communications of the ACM, vol. 53, no. 6, pp. 18-19, June 2010. [Online]. Available: ACM Digital Library, http://dl.acm.org/. [Accessed Sept. 22, 2014].
