(1-2)http://www.plagiarism.org/This site provides many different resources for students who wish to avoid plagiarism; contains explanations of what plagiarism is and how to prevent it. There is also a section that answers student-submitted questions about questionable practices that might be considered plagiarism.http://wwwcc.ivytech.edu/shared/shared_hlibrarycc/pdf/student_plagiarism_brochure.pdfThis brochure, shared by Ivy Tech Libraries Community College, explains both plagiarism and copyright protection. Explain what plagiarism is and the potential consequences for plagiarism. It also lists several credible websites that students can refer to for more information. http://www.bradford.ac.uk/library/help/plagiarism/ The University of Bradford, a four-year university based in the United Kingdom, has several helpful web pages that clearly communicate what plagiarism is and how to avoid it . They also list specific sanctions their students may face for plagiarism, as well as multiple other resources to help students prevent plagiarism.(3)One of the most surprising forms of plagiarism I discovered during this project is which we also briefly discussed during the live class session you are using work you had previously completed for another assignment. However, I believe that the most commonly used form of plagiarism in academic contexts is taking an exact statement from a book written by someone else and copying it, word for word, thereby claiming it as your own. When I hear the word "cheat," the image that comes to mind is of someone looking at another student's paper on a test to copy the answers. Just like if you looked at someone else's paper on a test... in the middle of the paper... maybe they failed to cite the source correctly every time they took something out of that piece of writing.(7) Referring to the point number 6, I believe the answer to this question depends on whether the plagiarism was intentional or not. In any case, the student must face the consequences of plagiarism. If a student decided to engage in intentional plagiarism in a course I was teaching, they would automatically fail my course. In fact, if they took credit for someone else's work instead of doing it themselves, I would recommend expulsion. However, if it were done unintentionally due to lack of knowledge, I would fail the student on that assignment. Additionally, I would assign them additional courses related to the problem at hand. This course would include assignments on citation, paraphrasing, and correct use of quotation marks.
