“Plagiarism, 11/29.” Write True or False for each statement.
- Using information from the Internet without properly documenting the source is not only cheating, it is illegal and is the same as stealing.
- Copying anything from the Internet and using it as my own work is considered plagiarism.
- If someone said something in a lecture or on TV or in an interview I did, I don’t have to cite it because it is not written.
- If I download something from the Internet and change some words and phrases, I can use that information as my own for class assignments.
- I can quote passages from papers I find on the Internet for my class assignments if I properly cite where I found the information.
- A friend offers to let you read his paper in order to get some ideas, and tells you to use any parts of the paper you find useful. You incorporate one of his paragraphs into your paper, and you are careful to include all of the citations from his paper in your footnotes, so that the reader will be able to find the original source of the information. This is not plagiarism.
- A student finds a picture on the web that perfectly illustrates a point she wants to make in her paper. She downloads the picture, but does not use the website’s explanation; in addition, she writes her own caption for the picture. Since the explanation and caption are her own, she does not include a citation for the picture. This is plagiarism.
- In your paper on genetics, you note that humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. You didn’t know this before you researched, but decide not to provide a citation for this information, since all biology textbooks contain this information. You did the right thing.
- The proverb “The early bird catches the worm” seems particularly appropriate to the subject of your paper, so you decide to quote it. You need to find a book of proverbs so that you can provide a citation.
