2 Agenda for Tutorial Read three sample situations. Determine if the student was ethical in his or her use of a source. Learn more about how to avoid plagiarism. Take a quiz to verify your understanding. Pledge that you will not plagiarize.
3 Let s look at some hypothetical situations. For each, identify if the student used his or her sources acceptably.
4 Jack s Situation Jack has an English paper due tomorrow. He read the book and paid attention during class, but he has no idea what to write about. Jack logs onto the Internet just to get some ideas about topics for his paper. He finds a great idea and begins writing his paper using the topic he found. He is very careful to avoid copying any text or words from the Internet article he found. Is this plagiarism? Yes No

14 You said Gretel did plagiarize. You are right. Gretel s actions constitute plagiarism. Even if Gretel s friend gave permission for Gretel to copy her work, it is still plagiarism. Gretel is guilty of plagiarism. She tried to take credit for the words and ideas of another person.
15 You said Gretel did not plagiarize. You are wrong. Gretel s actions constitute plagiarism. Even if Gretel s friend gave permission for Gretel to copy her work, it is still plagiarism. Gretel tried to take credit for the words and ideas of another person.
16 Think you ve got it? Read the following (and remember, there will be a short quiz on this material!)
17 There are two acceptable ways to use sources: Direct Quotation Paraphrase Includes summarizing and referencing the works of others within your paper or project
18 There are two acceptable ways Direct Quotation What it is: The exact words of an author used word for word in your paper or project. When to use it: The exact phrasing of the source suits your needs. You want to use the source s exact words even just a particular apt or unusual phrase. How to use it: to use sources: Copy the exact words of the source, putting those words inside quotation marks. Put a citation at the end of the quotation indicating the page number. At the end of your paper, include a bibliographic entry on a page that lists your references.
19 Paraphrase What it is: There are two acceptable ways Using your own words to restate the source s idea. This could be a summary of the source s point, a brief mention of the source s findings, or a longer restatement of the source s idea. Use paraphrase when: The exact phrasing of the source is too technical, too wordy, etc. You want to present the source s idea in a more compact, focused way How to use it: to use sources: Before the paraphrase, introduce the source. This will show where the paraphrase begins. Use your own words to restate the meaning of the source. This means you change words, structure, and syntax. You do not merely substitute synonyms for the source s original phrasing. Put a citation at the end of the quotation indicating the page number or source. Include a bibliographic entry on a reference page at the end of your paper or project.
20 Testing your understanding Can you tell the difference between a direct quotation and a paraphrase? Click on the correct answer for each of the following samples.
21 Direct Quotation vs. Paraphrase Model #1 In his book on Google s business strategy, John Battelle states, Google had more than its finger on the pulse of our culture, it was directly jacked into the culture s nervous system (2). This is an example of DIRECT QUOTATION This is an example of PARAPHRASE
22 You must choose from the buttons at the bottom of the page. Read the situation and then choose one of the options presented. Click here to return to previous slide
23 Paraphrase Sorry, no. You are incorrect. The student did not paraphrase--she used a direct quotation. The quotation marks give it away: In his book on Google s business strategy, John Battelle states: Google had more than its finger on the pulse of our culture, it was directly jacked into the culture s nervous system (2).
24 Direct Quotation Easy, right? If you see quotation marks, it is a direct quotation. Any time you use the exact words of a source, you must surround them in quotation marks and indicate the source.
25 Direct Quotation vs. Paraphrase Model #2 Battelle s argument is based on a memo written by Google CEO Eric Schmidt. The memo reveals that Google was focusing its attention on corporate marketing budgets (153). This is an example of DIRECT QUOTATION This is an example of PARAPHRASE
26 You must choose from the green buttons at the bottom of the page. Read the situation and then choose one of the options presented. Click here to return to previous slide
27 Paraphrase Good job! Sample #2 was a paraphrase. Anytime a student rewrites a source s idea into his or her own words, the user must give the source credit. This is paraphrasing.
28 Direct Quotation No. Read it again: Battelle s argument is based on a memo written by Google CEO Eric Schmidt. The memo reveals that Google was focusing its attention on corporate marketing budgets (153). That example is a paraphrase. You should know because the student did not include quotation marks; she rephrased the original into her own written style; and she cited the source.
29 Direct Quotation vs. Paraphrase Model #3 As he explains the importance of choosing the best searchable keywords to allow others to find a website, Battelle presents a comparison to the Greek story of The Odyssey, Is [being known to a wide audience] not what every person longs for what Odysseus chose over Kalypso s nameless immortality to die, but to be known forever? (284). This is an example of DIRECT QUOTATION This is an example of PARAPHRASE
30 You must choose from the green buttons at the bottom of the page. Read the situation and then choose one of the options presented. Click here to return to previous slide
31 Paraphrase You are incorrect. The example was a direct quotation. Look at it again: In explaining the importance of searchable functions, Battelle reveals his insight into the heart of mankind, Is that not what every person longs for what Odysseus chose over Kalypso s nameless immortality to die, but to be known forever? (284). The student included quotation marks, indicating that he used the exact words of the original source. Therefore, it is a direct quotation.
32 Correct! Direct Quotation The use of the exact words of the source makes it a direct quotation. The student shows readers that it is a direct quotation by using quotation marks. Additionally, he provides information to help the reader identify the source.
33 So, you know the difference between a direct quotation and a paraphrase Now what?
34 Definition of Plagiarism Plagiarism is: To steal the words or ideas of another person To pass off the words or ideas of another person as one s own Further: It does not matter whether the theft of words or ideas is intentional or accidental. Either way, it is plagiarism.
35 Why should you bother? Four good reasons for citing sources in your work: Citing reliable information gives credibility to your work. Cheating is unethical behavior. It is only fair to give credit to the source otherwise, you are stealing the source s ideas. The consequences are severe plagiarism is not worth the risk.
36 You probably have two questions: (1) What do I need to cite? (2) How do I cite? Read on for the answers
37 What do I need to cite? Do not cite. information you thought of common knowledge Cite information you did not think of information that is not common knowledge
38 What is common knowledge? * information an educated person would know * information that is a provable fact that could be found in an encyclopedia You do not have to cite common knowledge.
39 So, you don t need to cite a fact, but you must cite the source of opinions and ideas that are not your own. And, you must cite any time you use the exact words of the source even if the words are presenting common knowledge.
40 So, you don t need to cite a fact, for example: Ayn Rand wrote Anthem. OR Ayn Rand was born in but you must cite the source of opinions and ideas that are not your own. for example: Dorothy Gale believed that Anthem is an inspiring story (75). OR According to Joe Smith, Equality represents the human spirit (15). And, you must cite any time you use the exact words of the source even if the words are presenting common knowledge. You must always cite the source of ANY direct quotation.
41 So, let s check to see that you understand when you need to cite the source and when you don t Answer the following questions and choose the correct answer.
42 Test Case #1 Jack isn t sure if he needs to cite the source of the information below. He found the fact online. Abraham Lincoln was our 16 th president. What do you think? What should Jack do? Pick one of the answers below. Cite the source. This means he will: (1) Either: a) Surround with quotation marks, or b) Put the quotation into his own words, changing the syntax, structure, & organization (1) Include a lead-in giving the source s name, (1) Give the page number, and (1) List the source in a bibliography Do not cite the source. This means that the information is a commonly reported fact. It is generally known and available from many sources. (1) Jack should verify the information in at least two sources, then (1) Jack will write the well-known information in his own words.
43 You must choose from the buttons at the bottom of the page. Read the situation and then choose one of the options presented. Click here to return to previous slide
44 You are incorrect. In this case, citation is not necessary. Jack does not need to cite the source of quote the information because it is general knowledge. Because Abraham Lincoln s status as the 16 th President of the US is a fact that is verifiable in many places, Jack can use the information without citation.
45 You are correct! Jack does not need to cite this information. Jack does not need to cite the source of quote the information because it is general knowledge. Because Abraham Lincoln s status as the 16 th President of the US is a fact that is verifiable in many places, Jack can use the information without citation.
46 Test Case #2 In her paper on Affirmative Action, Jill found one source explaining that Affirmative Action evens the field of play by wreaking equity on all players. In her paper, Jill uses the phrase wreaking equity but she puts all the other parts of the source into her own words. What should Jill do? Pick one of the answers below. Cite the source. This means she will: (1) Either: a) Surround with quotation marks, or b) Put the quotation into her own words, changing the syntax, structure, & organization (1) Include a lead-in giving the source s name, (1) Give the page number, and (1) List the source in a bibliography Not cite the source. This means that the information is generally known and available from multiple sources. (1) Jill should verify the information in at least two sources, then (1) Jill will write the well-known information in his own words. (3) Jill should make a bibliographic citation for use on her Works Consulted page.
47 You must choose from the buttons at the bottom of the page. Read the situation and then choose one of the options presented. Click here to return to previous slide
48 You are correct! Jill must cite this information. Jill needs to cite the source of the paraphrase because the idea belongs to the source. Further, because Jill uses the unique phrase wreaking equity, she must include that phrase in quotation marks, indicating that it is a direct quotation from the source.
49 You are incorrect. In this case, citation is necessary. Jill needs to cite the source of the paraphrase because the idea belongs to the source. Further, because Jill uses the unique phrase wreaking equity, she must include that phrase in quotation marks, indicating that it is a direct quotation from the source.
50 Test Case #3 Gretel found a very helpful article in an online database. She very carefully made sure that she rewrote the content of the article using her own personal style; she changed the author s syntax and organization so that it fit seamlessly into her paper. What should Gretel do? Cite the source. This means she will: (1) Either: a) Surround with quotation marks, or b) Put the quotation into his own words, changing the syntax, structure, & organization (1) Include a lead-in giving the source s name, (1) Give the page number, and (1) List the source in a bibliography Not cite the source. This means that the information is generally known and available from multiple sources. (1) Gretel should verify the information in at least two sources, then (1) Gretel will write the well-known information in his own words. (3) Gretel must include a bibliographic citation on her Works Consulted page.
51 You must choose from the buttons at the bottom of the page. Read the situation and then choose one of the options presented. Click here to return to previous slide
52 You are correct. In this case, citation is required. Gretel paraphrases the source s idea and content. She must give credit to the source. She must provide her audience with the source of the idea that she borrowed.
53 You are incorrect! Gretel must cite the source of this information, even though she put it in her own words. Gretel paraphrases the ideas of the source, so she must cite the identity of the source. Gretel must provide her audience with the source of the material that she borrowed.
54 So, you can identify what must have a citation Now you need to know how to use and cite a source!
55 How to Cite a Source It s easy. Just provide your audience with the source of any ideas or words that are not your own. First, carefully mark the beginning and end of the source s words or ideas. Then, provide a bibliography to show where the borrowed material originated. In fact, listing your sources shows your audience that you are an informed, well researched writer!
56 How to Cite Direct Quotations Provide a bibliographic entry to show where the borrowed material originated. Park, Beth L. Understanding Ayn Rand s Anthem. Lebo University Press: Pittsburgh, Carefully mark the beginning and end of the source s words or idea. Use a signal phrase to introduce the source. Use quotation marks to surround the words of the source. Provide the page number (or another citation) after the closing quotation marks. EXAMPLE: According to literary critic Beth L. Parks, Equality finds peace through his search for the height of his own potential (24).
57 How to Cite Paraphrases Provide a bibliographic entry to show where the borrowed material originated. Park, Beth L. Understanding Ayn Rand s Anthem. Lebo University Press: Pittsburgh, Carefully mark the beginning and end of the source s words or idea. Use a signal phrase to introduce the source Put the source s original words into your own words: It isn t just about using synonyms to replace words. You must change the syntax, sentence structure, and organization of the original. If you find yourself just changing a word here or there, ask yourself if a direct quotation would work. If it would work, then use a direct quotation. Provide the page number (or another citation) after the closing quotation marks. EXAMPLE: According to literary critic Beth L. Parks, Equality separates himself from the society by striving to improve the world around him (24).
