Chronologie

00:00:00 - 00:04:26
The term plagiarism, derived from Greek and Latin meaning kidnapping, refers to presenting someone else's words or ideas as one's own without proper acknowledgment. It is considered a form of theft and is against university conduct codes, leading to serious consequences. While it's acceptable to use others' ideas in research, proper citation is essential for quotes, summaries, and paraphrases. To avoid plagiarism, students should prioritize their own ideas, use external sources sparingly, properly document citations when taking notes, use quotation marks for direct quotes, and draft papers without relying heavily on external notes. Examples of plagiarism include various student compositions using a quote from Daniel J. Boron's book, showcasing differences in crediting sources. Abby's paper represents severe plagiarism by failing to credit the source; Brian acknowledges the source but doesn't use quotation marks, indicating plagiarism; Chad successfully credits his source, avoiding plagiarism.

dependent upon your
00:01:51
sources as we've seen plagiarism ranges
00:01:54
from copying word for word to
00:01:56
paraphrasing a passage without credit
00:01:57
and changing only a few words here is a
00:02:00
sentence from a Pitzer prizewinning book
00:02:02
entitled The Americans the Democratic
00:02:05
experience written by Daniel J
00:02:08
Boron still the telephone was only a
00:02:11
convenience permitting Americans to do
00:02:13
more casually and with less effort what
00:02:15
they had already been doing before let's
00:02:18
take a look at the use of this
00:02:19
information in the papers of three
00:02:20
students Abby Brian and
00:02:23
Chad for each student's version we will
00:02:26
judge if he or she is guilty or not
00:02:28
guilty of plagiarism
00:02:30
first up is aby's use of the passage in
00:02:33
her paper Abby wrote the telephone was a
00:02:36
convenience enabling Americans to do
00:02:38
more casually and with less effort what
00:02:40
they had already been doing before is
00:02:43
Abby guilty or not guilty guilty this is
00:02:46
plagiarism in its worst form Abby does
00:02:48
not indicate that the words and ideas
00:02:50
belong to Boron leaving the readers to
00:02:52
believe that the words are hers she has
00:02:54
stolen the words and ideas and attempted
00:02:56
to cover the theft by changing or
00:02:58
omitting an occasional word shame Abby
00:03:00
shame What about Brian here is an
00:03:03
excerpt from Brian's paper Daniel J
00:03:06
Boron argues that the telephone was only
00:03:08
a convenience permitting Americans to do
00:03:10
more casually and with less effort what
00:03:13
they had already been doing
00:03:15
before is Brian guilty or not guilty of
00:03:19
plagiarism guilty even though Brian
00:03:21
acknowledges his Source this is
00:03:23
plagiarism he has copied the original
00:03:25
almost word for word yet he has not
00:03:27
supplied quotation marks to indicate the
00:03:29
extent of his is borrowing work a little
00:03:31
harder next time
00:03:33
Brian finally let's take a look at
00:03:35
Chad's work Daniel J boron has noted
00:03:38
that most Americans consider the
00:03:40
telephone as simply quote a convenience
00:03:42
end quote an instrument that allowed
00:03:45
them quote to do more casually and with
00:03:47
less effort what they had already been
00:03:49
doing before end quot is Chad guilty or
00:03:52
not guilty of
00:03:54
plagiarism not guilty Chad has done a
00:03:57
good job he has identified his Source at
00:03:59
the beginning of the paragraph letting
00:04:01
readers know who is being quoted and has
00:04:03
provided an inext citation directing
00:04:05
them to the exact page of the statement
00:04:07
he has paraphrased some of boron's words
00:04:09
and quoted others but makes it clear to
00:04:11
the readers which words are his and
00:04:13
which belong to Boron nice work Chad
00:04:16
Chad is on his way to getting an a Abby
00:04:19
is on her way to Dean Singleton's office
00:04:21
perhaps Abby and Brian should have asked
00:04:23
a librarian for help
