Understanding Plagiarism
Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work, ideas, or words as your own without proper attribution. It's a serious academic offense that can have significant consequences.
How to Avoid Plagiarism:
- Cite your sources - Always provide proper attribution when using others' work
- Use quotation marks - For direct quotes, enclose the text in quotation marks
- Paraphrase properly - Restate ideas in your own words, but still cite the source
- Keep track of sources - Maintain detailed notes about where information came from
- Acknowledge AI assistance - Disclose when AI tools were used to generate content
Cited Correctly
Complete citations with proper formatting, quotation marks where needed, and all necessary information (author, year, page).
Needs Fix
Attempts at citation but with missing elements (no year, page number) or formatting issues. Shows intent to cite but done incorrectly.
Plagiarized
No attribution at all, presenting others' work as your own, or falsely claiming to have conducted research/analysis done by others.
AI-Generated Content
When using AI tools like ChatGPT or other language models:
- Disclose that AI assistance was used
- Cite the AI tool, version, and date of generation
- Review and verify AI-generated information
- Remember that using AI without disclosure can be considered academic dishonesty
