Plagiarism Background
Initial Concepts
There are 2 kinds of plagiarism: deliberate and accidental (“Plagiarism Intro,” 2014).
Either kind will get you a grade of F in many classes.
Once again, the two types of plagiarism are (1) Deliberate (done by cheaters) and (2) Accidental (done by untrained writers).
1. Deliberate plagiarism includes:
A. Rewriting from books, articles or other sources.
B. Copying and pasting from a web page.
C. Buying, downloading or borrowing a paper.
2. Accidental plagiarism includes:
A. Not knowing when and how to cite others' work.
B. Not knowing how to paraphrase and/or summarize source materials.
C. Not knowing what "common knowledge" is.
D. Recycling an old paper (from one class in another class, whether it was written by someone else or you (self-plagiarism)).
This project can help you learn to avoid accidental plagiarism, and to help you see that your ideas are more valuable to the world than others', so you won't be tempted to "borrow."
