Plagiarism Data Driven Instruction
- 2. What is Plagiarism? • "Plagiarism means using another's work without giving credit. Whenever you quote or base your ideas on another person's work, you must document the source you used. Even when you do not quote directly from another work, if reading that source contributed to the ideas presented in your paper, you must give the authors proper credit.” Source: “Citing Sources.” University of California Berkeley Library.

- 7. Academic Dishonesty Policy from WHS Handbook • Academic dishonesty, cheating, and plagiarism are serious matters that challenge each student’s goal of being responsible. Examples: • Copying computer internet materials or software without proper documentation or in violation of copyright law. • Summarizing material without acknowledging the source. • Representing the work of someone else as one’s own work • Obtaining or accepting a copy of a test or answers to a test. • Copying another student’s homework or test answers; or providing work or answers to another student. • Students who engage in such dishonesty may be penalized by receiving a grade of “0” for the assignment. Repeated offenses could result in a grade of “F” for the course.

- 9. Definitions of Types of Plagiarism 1. "The Ghost Writer.” The writer turns in another's work, word-for-word, as his or her own. 2. "The Photocopy.” The writer copies significant portions of text straight from a single source, without alteration. 3. "The Potluck Paper. “ The writer tries to disguise plagiarism by copying from several different sources, tweaking the sentences to make them fit together while retaining most of the original phrasing. 4. "The Poor Disguise.” Although the writer has retained the essential content of the source, he or she has altered the paper's appearance slightly by changing key words and phrases. 5. "The Labor of Laziness.“ The writer takes the time to paraphrase most of the paper from other sources and make it all fit together, instead of spending the same effort on original work. 6. "The Self-Stealer.” The writer "borrows" generously from his or her previous work, violating policies concerning the expectation of originality adopted by most academic institutions.
