PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism often results from careless note-taking from

other sources during writing process, with intentionally
unwilling, or unintentionally forget, to put references
around students original words.
PLAGIARISM IS DEFINED AS:
Using someone elses words or idea without proper
documentation;
Copying some portion of your text from another source
without proper recognition;
Borrowing another persons specific ideas without
documenting the source;
Turning in a paper written by or copying from someone
else, from service business, or from a World Wide Web
Site (reproductions of such essays or papers).
MAINTAINING INTELLECTUAL INTEGRITY:
In the learning and writing processes, it is important
that students learn how to work with sources without
plagiarizing,
either
intentionally
or
accidentally.
Intellectual endeavor emphasizes sharing knowledge
and information for advancing knowledge.
Students need to develop autonomous thinking to reach
their opinion and conclusions. To encourage that
practice, students can read, synthesize and write about
other peoples work. However, students are obligated to
give reference on these texts whenever they quote
them directly, paraphrase the authors point or points,
or use the authors ideas to help clarify, sustain,
support, or organize their own ideas.
Using other sources for a paper, students must
document ideas or words derived from them both by
listing the sources, both in a bibliography at the end of
the paper and by citing sources in the main text itself.
To cite a source is to make clear to the reader 1) who
originated the idea or quotation that you have used; and
2) where it can be found. This then allows the reader to
do further research or check your evidence.
Sanction. A practice of plagiarism is considered a serious
offense and major infringement of academic values which
is subject to academic sanctions, on which the lecturer
shall give the paper a grade at the most 50, unless the
Management prefers other sanction.
