Understanding and Recognizing Plagiarism - AssignmentBackgroundAcademic Integrity is taken very seriously. Plagiarism, cheating, facilitation and fabrication are not tolerated. “Plagiarism” is the act of copying another’s work and passing it off as your own. Examples include copying another student’s work on an assignment or assessment and copying from a resource such as a webpage without proper citation of that resource. Any copied phrases must be in quotation marks and the source of information cited. Resources for paraphrased information should also be cited. ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS SHOULD BE GIVEN IN YOUR OWN WORDS FOR ALL OF THE LABORATORY ASSIGNMENTS. Use of quotations in a science class is limited to something unique – not for copying answers. No more than 10% of your answers should be quoted.“Cheating” means using or attempting to use unauthorized or unapproved resources or information to complete an assignment. Examples of cheating include unauthorized use of equipment (e.g., text messaging, instant messaging, or Internet access), looking at another student’s exam, or looking at unauthorized notes or “cheat sheets” during an exam. “Facilitation” means the act of helping or attempting to help another student cheat, fabricate or plagiarize. Examples of facilitation include giving another student one’s homework or assignments so it can be copied, letting another student copy answers during the exam, and giving exam information/answers to students in other sections of the same course, or to students who have not yet taken the exam. “Fabrication” means the act of falsifying, inventing, or changing any information, data or citation and then recording or reporting it. According to the CCBC Code of Conduct, “The standard penalty for an act of academic dishonesty is an F in the course. Lesser sanctions that may be imposed include the following: a reduction in the grade in the course; a reduction in grade for an assignment, exam, or project; repetition of an assignment and/or a written warning.” These definitions and examples were copied from the CCBC Code of Conduct available under the MySyllabiPolicies tab online in MyCCBC. Please refer to the CCBC Code of Conduct and Code of Conduct for Academic Integrity for additional examples of cheating, facilitation and fabrication. To these ends, the following actions are expected of students:Complete all work on exams without assistance.Follow the professor’s instructions when completing all class assignments.Ask for clarification when instructions are not clear.Report to the instructor any unauthorized information related to an exam.Provide proper credit when quoting or paraphrasing.Submit only one’s own work.Students who do not accept responsibility for the integrity of their own work will experience sanctions, including a written reprimand, failure of the assignment, failure of the course, and/or dismissal from the program. For repeat and extreme offenses, the College reserves the right to suspend or expel students. Please refer to the course syllabus, or contact your instructor, for further information.To ensure that you understand the basics about Plagiarism, this course uses the tutorial on the Indiana University Bloomington’s Website on “How to Recognize Plagiarism” (Bowling and Frick 2005) at . The following is taken directly from their Website, which is used with their permission.“This tutorial is divided into sections:The Indiana University DefinitionOverview: when and how to give credit; recommendations; decision flowchartPlagiarism Cases: links to Web sites describing real plagiarism casesExamples: word-for-word and paraphrasing plagiarism -- 5 examples eachPractice with feedback: identifying plagiarism -- 10 itemsTest: if you pass, you can print a confirmation certificateResources: Web sites, books, dictionary links, references”Assignment PLEASE COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING ASSIGNMENT:I would like you to review each of the above sections from the Indiana University Website and then take the test.

After doing so, I have taken the test available on the site. I am confident that I know what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. If I had questions after finishing the tutorial, this document confirms that I have sought help from my academic advisor and I do now understand what plagiarism is and how to avoid it.I understand that there will be no acceptable excuse for plagiarism if it is discovered in my work.

This will require entry of unique information from this Certificate. You can also do this, and view this Certificate again. Instructors should note that there is no practical way of determining whether the student above is indeed the one who took the test, unless it is taken under proctored conditions. Certificates with identical time stamps should not be accepted, since the chances of this occurring are extremely unlikely.Also, Certificates with the same IP number should be scrutinized, especially with a similar date and time, but with different printed names--this means that after someone passed the test and viewed their Certificate, this was followed by another person who clicked the 'Back' button, who entered a different name, and who got their Certificate without retaking the test themselves.Return to topYOU ARE HERE: IU > Bloomington > School of Education > How to Recognize PlagiarismSchool of Education?201 North Rose Ave. Bloomington, IN 47405-1006Comments or questions?
