Presenter

Presentation Notes

This is from www.writecheck.turnitin.com The Ghost Writer": The writer turns in another’s work, word-for-word, as his or her own. "The Photocopy": The writer copies significant portions of text straight from a single source, without alteration. "The Potluck Paper": The writer tries to disguise plagiarism by copying from several different sources, tweaking the sentences to make them fit together while retaining most of the original phrasing. Also known as "patch writing." "The Poor Disguise": Although the writer has retained the essential content of the source, he or she has altered the paper’s appearance slightly by changing key words and phrases. "The Labor of Laziness": The writer takes the time to paraphrase most of the paper from other sources and make it all fit together, instead of spending the same effort on original work. "The Self-Stealer": The writer "borrows" generously or "recycles" from his or her previous work, violating policies concerning the expectation of originality adopted by most academic institutions.

Types of Plagiarism Sources Cited

The Forgotten Footnote

The Misinformer

The Too-Perfect Paraphrase

The Resourceful Citer

The Perfect Crime

Presenter

Presentation Notes

www.writecheck.turnitin.com "The Forgotten Footnote": The writer mentions an author’s name for a source, but neglects to include specific information on the location of the material referenced. This often masks other forms of plagiarism by obscuring source locations. "The Misinformer": The writer provides inaccurate information regarding the sources, making it impossible to find them. "The Too-Perfect Paraphrase": The writer properly cites a source, but neglects to put in quotation marks text that has been copied word-for-word, or close to it. Although attributing the basic ideas to the source, the writer is falsely claiming original presentation and interpretation of the information. "The Resourceful Citer": The writer properly cites all sources, paraphrasing and using quotations appropriately. The catch? The paper contains almost no original work! It is sometimes difficult to spot this form of plagiarism because it looks like any other well-researched document. "The Perfect Crime": Well, we all know the perfect crime doesn’t exist. In this case, the writer properly quotes and cites sources in some places, but goes on to paraphrase other arguments from those sources without citation. This way, the writer tries to pass off the paraphrased material as his or her own analysis of the cited material.

As a Reminder…When you help someone cheat on

an assignment or exam, both parties will be held equally

Presenter

Presentation Notes

If the % is high for none of my business, discuss seemingly unimportant decisions – it could affect you/be your business if they class is graded on a curve and someone who cheats does better than you and your grade goes down.

If there were a hotline where people reported cheating, and I thought someone was watching, it

would deter me from cheating.

Discussion Questions

1.

How do you decide whether or not to STEP UP! about someone else's academic misconduct?

a.

Is what you think of yourself and your own actions a factor in terms of how you react to choices that others make?

2.

In determining your actions, what is more important –

integrity or loyalty?

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Might you think of someone (or yourself) as basically honest even though they/you may have cheated? When would your opinion change? How are loyalty and the STEP UP! concept in conflict with each other and how do they parallel each other? Is all cheating the same?

3.

How is cheating justified? How do you justify it? a.

How do you feel about yourself after you cheat?

b.

How prevalent is cheating in society today and do you think that impacts how it is justified?

4.

How do we help or hurt ourselves

by cheating? By letting someone else cheat?

5.

In what ways do we help or hurt someone else by letting them “cheat”?

a.

Are you wrong if you help someone cheat? b.

Are you wrong if you know someone is cheating but don’t do anything?

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Is it justified by how much something is worth (i.e a small quiz vs a major mid term) or If it’s in a gen ed class (i.e. non major class)?; If you think someone has an unfair advantage (access to tutors, ability to buy notes, etc.)? Time allowed for an assignment. etc. Make the distinction between facilitating someone’s cheating and just having knowledge of it.

6. How do other cultures view cheating?

7.

Have you ever witnessed a fight in a sport setting?

a.

Why do teammates pull other teammates away?

b.

How might that relate to academic misconduct?

8.

Does your school have an Honor Code and do you think they are (or would be) effective?

More Strategies for Success

ACCEPT ownership of academic success.

SET academic goals

DO NOT miss class

Study EVERY day

READ and FOLLOW the class syllabus

GET HELP as soon as it’s needed

BUILD a relationship with the professor or the TA

REVIEW all exams

PARTICIPATE in class

Presenter

Presentation Notes

You must accept ownership for your academic success. Your grades are your grades. If an exam grade is not what you wanted see your professor. Do not quit. One low score does not mean you will fail. Don't miss class you will be responsible for all information the professor gives in lecture. A good rule of thumb is that your have an excessive amount of absences when the number of absences exceeds the number of times the class meets in one week. For every hour in class, you should study two hours outside of class. Follow your class syllabus for your reading assignments and read before class. Reading before class will help prepare you to take notes Use your texts by underlying or highlighting important information. Use note cards to help you organize the material you want to learn and to separate what you know from what you need to know. Review, review, review, you should review your class notes each day to add missed information, write down questions on information that you did not understand, etc. Get tutoring help and attend review sessions to get the best possible grade. Sometimes your professor or the teaching assistant (TA) is the best tutor. Go over all your exams because sometimes mistakes are made. Make an appointment with the professor or the TA to review your answers. This will also help you prepare for the next exam.

Value Based Decisions

Is it worth

it?

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Discuss the value in cheating and how we rationalize/justify it. Saves time Get better grades Discuss Costs* Integrity/self esteem – do you really feel good about getting something for nothing Possible suspension/expulsion Goes on your transcripts Now identified as a “cheater” Although “morally” it is also wrong try to stay away from that argument.
