xu.tutor: Preventing Plagiarism
Examples
of plagiarism:
- Buying
or using a paper from a research service or term paper mill constitutes
plagiarism. (example)
Purchasing a paper from a site such as the one in the example
constitutes plagiarism because the student is turning in a paper
he or she did not research and write.
- Copying
material without giving the source of information. The example
shows a source that could be used in a paper about early use of
paperback books in schools. Once you have read the example, click
on the link in the popup box to show an example of this source
being plagiarized. The words in red in the second example
constitute plagiarism because they are exact quotes from the text
without being enclosed in quotations and because no source was
cited.
- Paraphrasing
material without giving the source of information. The example
shows the same source as above on paperback books. Once you have
read the example, click on the link in the popup box to show an
example of this source being plagiarized. This example constitutes
plagiarism because the student only changed some of the words,
but not the ideas and because the student did not cite a source
for the ideas.
- Building
on others' ideas without giving the source of information. The
example
shows the same source as above on paperback books. Once you
have read the example, click on the link in the popup box to show
an example of this source being plagiarized. This example
constitutes plagiarism because the student uses the text as the
basis for his/her ideas but does not cite the source.
- Turning
in a paper written by someone else.The example
shows a cover page of a research paper written by someone in 1998.
Once you have read the example, click on the link in the popup
box to show this same cover page being used by another student
for another class. This example constitutes plagiarism because
one student turned in a paper written by another student.
