Plagiarism Mkis (Gr 9 - 12)

Whenever you use someone else's information or ideas you need to cite the source, even if you put the information in your own words.

Even readily available information from the Internet must be cited so you can acknowledge the source.
Except for quotations, work should always be written in your own words.

Any images, ideas or information that are not your own must be cited.

Essay 'services' may say that they have written a paper specifically for you, but first of all, it is not your own work and it is highly likely that many people have access to the same paper.

The best thing to do to avoid plagiarism is to use the information and cite the source. By doing so, you give credit to the original author or source and acknowledge their contribution to your paper. This not only avoids plagiarism but also demonstrates academic integrity and ethical research practices.

Your own personal ideas, experiences and opinions are original and therefore do not require citations.

If a student is caught plagiarizing, regardless of whether it was intentional or accidental, they may face severe consequences. These consequences can include receiving a failing grade on the paper, being suspended from school, or failing the entire class. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above" as all of these consequences are possible outcomes for plagiarizing.

When using a picture from Google Images in a presentation, it is important to avoid plagiarizing by using the image from the original website and citing it. This means that you should click on the image in the Google results page to go to the original website where the image is hosted, and then include a citation or reference to the original source of the image in your presentation. Using the image directly from the Google results page without citing it or using the image from the original website without citing it would still be considered plagiarism.

It is a form of plagiarism if you submit a paper to more than one course.

When using the exact words of a relative you admire in your work, it is important to use quotation marks to indicate that you are directly quoting someone. Additionally, you should cite the source to give credit to the relative for their words. This shows respect for their contribution and avoids plagiarism.

Acknowledging the source of your information is necessary, even if it's in your own words.

Paraphrasing refers to the act of rewriting someone else's words or ideas using your own words. It involves understanding the original content and expressing it in a different way while retaining the same meaning. This technique is commonly used to avoid plagiarism and to demonstrate a clear understanding of the original material.

Using direct quotations appropriately is not an example of malpractice because it involves giving credit to the original source and accurately representing their words. Malpractice typically refers to unethical or illegal behavior, such as cheating, plagiarism, or dishonesty. In this case, using direct quotations appropriately demonstrates academic integrity and proper citation, which is encouraged and expected in academic settings.

Even if you got information from someone in a personal or online conversation, you must cite your source since the ideas aren't your own.

Summarising involves condensing a large amount of information into a concise and coherent form. It requires understanding the main ideas and key points of the original text and expressing them in a shorter format. Paraphrasing, on the other hand, involves rewording the original text while maintaining the same meaning. Quoting involves directly citing the exact words from the original text. Therefore, summarising is the correct answer as it encompasses both paraphrasing and quoting, but in a more concise manner.

Collusion is the correct answer because it refers to the act of working together with someone else to deceive or cheat. In this scenario, both individuals are involved in an agreement where one person copies the work from the other, which is a form of dishonesty and academic malpractice. Plagiarism, duplication of work, and cheating can also be forms of academic malpractice, but collusion specifically highlights the collaboration between the two individuals in deceiving others.

The citation is missing the type of resource (print, web, etc.) and the date viewed.
