All writing you do must be your own work or properly cited. We will address the proper way to cite someone else’s work. If the work is not your own or properly cited, you are guilty of plagiarism. The following applies to plagiarism:
- 1. Word-for-word copying, without acknowledgement, of the language of another writer. Having someone else write or dictate all or part of your work for you is plagiarism of this kind. In addition, you should copy NO printed passage, no matter how brief, without acknowledging the source and either placing it in quotation marks or setting it inside a block quote. This applies to even the briefest of passages if they are truly distinctive.
- 2. The unacknowledged paraphrasing of an author’s ideas. You should no more take credit for another’s thoughts than you should for another’s written words. Any distinctively original idea taken from another writer should be credited to its author. If you are not sure whether an author’s idea is distinctive or not, assume that it is and cite the work or ask me for advice.
- 3. Plagiarism applies not only to the written word but also to material on the Internet.
