Video: http://www.commoncraft.com/video/plagiarism

1. Plagiarism is commonly referred to as

The passing off of another persons work as ones own, whether deliberate or
accidental.

2. How will student work be checked for plagiarism? (List at least two ways)
Using plagiarism software Turnitin
Compare work with other students work to ensure ideas were
separate

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

Receiving zero on the assignment

A note on student record

An expulsion from the course

4. What is the difference between accidental plagiarism and deliberate

plagiarism?
Accidental plagiarism is when someones work is poorly cited, very little
preparation, or they dont understand plagiarism.

5. How can you avoid plagiarism, while still integrating support (ideas and
quotes) in your own work?

Add quotation marks to make sure this idea isnt yours, and name the
author after. Create proper citations after you take their ideas so you dont
forget to give credit.
 6. Other than the written work, what other items can be plagiarized? Can you
still use these items? How?
Paintings, speeches, music, structural models, and statistics can also be
plagiarized. You can still use them, but make sure you give credit by giving a
source, or referencing them to show that idea is not yours.

7. Do some internet research and find at least one website (not listed in the
Academic Integrity Policy or on the Common Craft Video) that helped
you understand how to avoid plagiarism.
