1. Plagiarism is commonly referred to as

the passing off of another persons work as ones own.

2. How will student work be checked for plagiarism? (List at

least two ways)

With a software called Turnitin which checks your work

to see if you copied any information from another
source.
Your work can also be compared to others to check your
academic integrity.

3. Sanctions for plagiarism include (list at least two possible

consequences):

Receiving a 0 on the assignment

A note on your student record

An expulsion from the course where you plagiarized

4. What is the difference between accidental plagiarism and

deliberate plagiarism?
(Accidental)Forgetting to cite the author
(Accidental)Using exact words, not paraphrasing
(Deliberate)Handing in work that is not yours
 (Deliberate)Copy and pasting directly from the internet

5. How can you avoid plagiarism, while still integrating support

(ideas and quotes) in your own work?

Citing the author by putting quotation marks around the idea

and then stating the authors name

Taking notes properly and writing in your own words, not

others

6. Other than the written work, what other items can be

plagiarized? Can you still use these items? How?
Art, Music, Poems, Statistics
You can still use them as long as you give credit to the
author

7. Do some internet research and find at least one website (not

listed in the Academic Integrity Policy or on the Common

plagiarism.

I have reviewed both the Academic Integrity Policy and viewed

the Common Craft: Plagiarism video. I have a good
understanding of Plagiarism and how avoid this practice. If I
have any questions (before the course begins or when completing
an assignment), I will send my questions to the teacher before I
submit my work.
