Ethics

What is plagiarism?

• Plagiarism is borrowing someone else's ideas and giving them your own unique twist.

• Plagiarism only occurs when you copy an entire book word for word.

• Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's work, ideas, or expressions without proper acknowledgment, presenting them as your own.

• Plagiarism is when you accidentally mix up your notes with someone else's work.

Examples of when you don't have to provide the source information:

• things that you created

• your own data from research

• common knowledge

• when you include any statistics

Providing source information includes:

• title

• author

• page

• publisher's home address

What is quoting?

• Quoting is the practice of directly repeating someone else's words, typically with proper attribution.

• Quoting is summarizing someone's ideas in your own words.

• Quoting is only necessary for famous authors or public figures.

“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be

our doubts of today.”

Our uncertainties today are the only things that can hinder what we can achieve in the future (Roosevelt, 1944, p. 67).
This is an example of:

• quoting

• paraphrasing

• writing

• summarizing

Choose the correct answer.

• A summary should be longer than the original text.

• A summary should be shorter than the original text.

• A summary should be the same length as the original text.

Why do we need to give credit to authors when writing something?

• to acknowledge original ideas

• to avoid plagiarism

• to build credibility

• so they don't get mad
