Hi everyone, Welcome to our next newsletter. This week we've created an academic plagiarism lesson. We've found that many academic English courses rarely spend enough time exploring what plagiarism is or helping students fully engage with the issue. This lesson does just that and helps students to develop a much clearer understanding of plagiarism and ways to avoid it. See example worksheet.

What is academic plagiarism?
|
Academic Plagiarism at university is a form of cheating and is a serious academic offence. It arises from work submitted that is not the student’s own and has been taken from another source and usually includes a lack of referencing, poor paraphrasing or complete copying. The most common forms of plagiarism are: direct, mosaic, source-based, paraphrasing, translation, self, accidental and commissioning plagiarism.

|
|
Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition. Plagiarism may be intentional or reckless, or unintentional. Under the regulations for examinations, intentional or reckless plagiarism is a disciplinary offence (Oxford University, 2022).

For purposes of the Stanford University Honour Code, plagiarism is defined as the use, without giving reasonable and appropriate credit to or acknowledging the author or source, of another person’s original work, whether such work is made up of code, formulas, ideas, language, research, strategies, writing or other form(s). Moreover, verbatim text from another source must always be put in (or within) quotation marks (Stanford University, 2022).
