Plagiarism

Plagiarism: Using someone else’s words or thoughts without proper referencing

Why not plagiarize? Plagiarism is lazy Plagiarism is stealing Plagiarism is lying Plagiarism is cheating You will get caught … eventually

5

Plagiarism

Two types of plagiarism Word-for-word: Quoting directly from another

work without enclosing the quote in a “quotation marks” and providing a reference

Paraphrasing: Using a source without providing a reference

The ECE Department’s ethics policy is available on its web site: https://www.csuohio.edu/engineering/sites/csuohio.e

du.engineering/files/Ethics%20Policy.pdf

6

Quotations

Quotations require “quotation marks” and a reference to the original source

Even if you change the words, you must still provide a reference

It does not matter if the original source has given you permission – you still need to follow the rules for proper acknowledgment of your sources

7

Paraphrasing

Paraphrase by doing the following: Read the material Set the material aside Rewrite it in your own words DO NOT CUT AND PASTE!

Paraphrasing needs a reference, or else it is plagiarism

Plagiarism Question 1

Original Source Material: The concept of systems is really quite simple. The basic idea is that a system has parts that fit together to make a whole.

Student Version: Systems, including both business systems, and educational systems, are actually very simple. The main idea is that a system has parts that fit together to make a whole.

Student Version: Systems, including both business systems, and educational systems, are actually very simple. The main idea is that a system has parts that fit together to make a whole.

11

Plagiarism Question 2

Original Source Material: Given similarities between software design and instructional design, we argue that rapid prototyping is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction.

Student Version: Rapid prototyping could be an advantageous methodology for developing innovative computer-based instruction (Tripp & Bichelmeyer, 1990).

Plagiarism Answer 2: Not Plagiarism Original Source Material: Given similarities between

software design and instructional design, we argue that rapid prototyping is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction.

Student Version: Rapid prototyping could be an advantageous methodology for developing innovative computer-based instruction (Tripp & Bichelmeyer, 1990).

This is not plagiarism because the student paraphrased and included a proper reference.

Plagiarism Question 3

Original Source Material: The study of learning derives from essentially two sources. Because learning involves the acquisition of knowledge, the first concerns the nature of knowledge and how we come to know things.

Student Version: The study of learning derives from essentially two sources. The first concerns the nature of knowledge and how we come to know things [23].

Plagiarism Question 4

Original Source Material: The tools available today for creating learning materials are much more powerful than those of a few years ago. Soon teachers will be able to use computer technology to produce their own materials.

Student Version: Computers are so powerful that educators and students are now able to produce their own multimedia learning materials. 

16

Plagiarism Answer 4: Paraphrasing

Original Source Material: The tools available today for creating learning materials are much more powerful than those of a few years ago. Soon teachers will be able to use computer technology to produce their own materials. All it takes is time, know-how, and some funds.

Student Version: Computers are so powerful that educators and students are now able to produce their own multimedia learning materials. They just need to take the time to learn to use the related technologies.

The student did not properly reference the source.

17

Plagiarism Question 5

Original Source Material: Major changes are usually initiated by those in power. There is often the assumption that training will “solve the problem.” The result is that potentially effective innovations suffer misuse, or even no use, in the hands of uncommitted users.

Student Version: When major changes are initiated in organizations, “... [t]here is often the implicit assumption that training will ‘solve the problem’ ” (Dormant, 1986, p. 238).
