The writing lab’s handout covering what is plagiarism, examples of plagiarism, and how to avoid it.
- We highly recommend that students read this document to fully understand the definition of plagiarism, how to avoid it, and the use of proper citation of resources. Remember, plagiarism is considered academic negligence and is subject to disciplinary action as stated in the Code of Conduct section of the Student Handbook. For additional information, please refer to the Student Handbook.http://srvweb.bristol.mass.edu/Enrollment_Center/student_life/forms/handbook.pdf
Plagiarism Detection
- Safe Assignments in eLearningBCC--What are Safe Assignments?
Your instructor may utilize the safe assignment feature in your eLearningBCC course site. When a paper is submitted using this feature, SafeAssign searches for textual matches against a comprehensive web-based database and other sources. An originality report is then generated for the instructor who can then determine if plagiarism has occurred.
- Googling
The World Wide Web has made it easier than ever before to access a large amount of information and resources. With that in mind, many instructors are utilizing this large repository of information through search engines, such as Google, to enter suspicious text from a student’s paper and search for matching text on the WWW. For further information on web resource citation please see Indiana University’s Plagiarism and the World Wide Web here, http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/pamphlets/plagiarism.shtml#wwwplagiarism.
