 Definition:
The word plagiarism
comes from the Latin “plagiarius”
meaning “kidnapper”
 Stealing someone’s ideas and
presenting them as your own.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism, even when it happens by
accident, is still plagiarism, and the
consequences are serious.
Similar to speeding or red light - it doesn't
matter if you did not know you were speeding
or if you did not notice the red light - you are
still going to get a ticket.
Plagiarism
Reasons for plagiarising:

am confused about the
task, essay, or assignment

used‘copy and paste’ method,
forgot to go back and edit

out of time - you will be
tempted to plagiarize simply
because you have run out of time.
 Budget
enough time for the
required work. Use a study
timetable/planner.

Source information
My interpretation
Plagiarism
 Do
you really know what it is?
 Take
the quiz
 Your
friend did the course last
year, and he gives you his
essay. You just change a few
words and phrases to make it
your own work
Is this plagiarism?
Yes.
 This
is a blatant form of
plagiarism because you are
claiming another person’s
writing as your own.
 You
find a great idea in a book, so
you use it in your essay. You write
up the idea in your own words.
 You make note of the author in
your bibliography.
 Is this plagiarism?
 No
 You
have used someone’s idea,
and have acknowledged the
source of those ideas – in a
bibliography.
 You have done the correct thing
by using your own words.
 You
copy a short passage from
an article you have found. You
change a couple of words, so
that it’s different from the
original.
 Is
this plagiarism?
 Yes.
 This
is a form of plagiarism called
‘patch writing’ – changing a few
words and then trying to pass the
work off as your own.
 Either quote the section using
quotation marks, or rewrite in your
own words.
 Cite the source in your
bibliography.
 You
need an image for your
essay. You go online and find
one. You don’t cite the source
of your image, because images
on the web aren’t protected by
copyright.
Is this plagiarism?
 Yes.
 You
must always cite the source
of graphics, sound recordings or
any other media that you use in
your essays or presentations.
How can we avoid plagiarism?

effective research skills

you
 Keep notes together with work

your bibliography
