WRITING LITERATURE REVIEW
[attachment=66546]
How serious is the problem?
“A study of almost 4,500 students at 25 Universities, suggests cheating is . . . a significant problem in Universities - 74% of the respondents admitted to one or more instances of serious test cheating and 72% admitted to serious cheating on written assignments. Over half of the students admitted they have engaged in some level of plagiarism on written assignments using the Internet.”
TYPES OF PLAGIARISM
Intentional
Copying a friend’s work
Buying or borrowing papers
Cutting and pasting blocks of text from electronic sources without documenting
Media “borrowing” without documentation
Web publishing without permissions of creators
Rationale for academic integrity
When you copy you cheat yourself. You limit your own learning.
The consequences are not worth the risks!
It is only right to give credit to authors whose ideas you use
Citing gives authority to the information you present
Citing makes it possible for your readers to locate your source
Cheating is unethical behavior
Real life consequences:
Damaged the reputation of two prominent historians, Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin,Kearns left television position and stepped down as Pulitzer Prize judge for “lifting”50 passages for her 1987 book The Fitzgeraldsand the Kennedys(Lewis)
Senator Joseph Biden dropped his 1987 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. Copied in law school and borrowed from campaign speeches of Robert Kennedy
Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing means rephrasing the words of an author, putting his/her thoughts in your own words. When you paraphrase, you rework the source’s ideas, words, phrases, and sentence structures with your own. Like quotations, paraphrased material must be followed with in-text documentation and cited on your Works-Cited page.
