WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?


The act of plagiarism can include copying pictures as well as text.

TRUE!

True or False?


You need a citation for this statement:

“There are 50 states in the United States.”

NOTE: “Citation” (noun) = the title, author, and other information necessary to

identify the source of your statement.)“Source” (noun) = the original article, book, website, etc., where you found

the information or ideas that you used in your paper.

FALSE!

True or False?


If you paraphrase (take someone else’s idea and put it in your own words), you must cite the source in your paper.

NOTE: “Cite” (verb) = give the title, author and other information necessary to identify the source of your statement.

TRUE!

True or False?


You are allowed to copy anything in Wikipedia because it is an online encyclopedia.

FALSE!

True or False?


If I write a paper for one course, it is OK to submit the same paper for another course as long as it is my own writing.

FALSE!

True or False?


You need a citation for this statement:

“Possibly one of the greatest artistic influences on Vincent van Gogh was Paul

Gauguin.”

TRUE!

True or False?


• If you use another person’s words or ideas in

an assignment you must properly cite the

source (say where you found the words or

ideas).

• If you do not know how to do this, ask!

Because…


• If you plagiarize you will receive a FAILING grade for the assignment.

• If you plagiarize you may FAIL the course. At Parsons you may be dismissed from the university.

• Your instructors and the University Writing Center can help you to avoid plagiarism, but you are responsible for the work you submit.

PLAGIARISM IS A SERIOUS OFFENCE.


IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS…(PERSONAL, ACADEMIC, HEALTH, etc. )

• Communicating with your instructors and your advisor isvery important.

• If you are having difficulties in a course speak with theinstructor directly.

• The EARLIER you identify the problem and talk about itwith your instructors, your advisor, or a counselor the BETTER.

• There are many helpful resources available to ESL + DESIGN students. Talking to your advisor is a good place to start.
