PLAGIARISM
|
Regardless of your intent, each of the following constitutes plagiarism: |
Direct Plagiarism -- including a verbatim quotation without a proper citation
Paraphrasing without a citation...passing off the ideas of others as your own
The inclusion of graphics, tables, charts or web pages without proper acknowledgement
Double dipping -- turning in the same paper for more than one class
See the "Useful Websites" Tab under Bibliography for more information about how to credit your sources.
|
Some tips to help you avoid accidental plagiarism include: |
Start your research early -- procrastination can lead to last minute stress & sloppy work
Keep notes or a bibliography of the sources you consult as you go -- it is easier than reconstructing it at the end.
Contact or visit the Writing Center for help on incorporating your evidence & sources into your paper.
