PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism — from the Latin plagiarius: one who abducts the child of a slave or another, a kidnapper; a seducer; also … a literary thief (OED).
Plagiarism is “to use another person’s ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging the source. (The Modern Language Association Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, J. Gibaldi, 1999, p. 30).
A plagiarist, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is a thief of the words and/or ideas of another.
See pages 309–20 of the Calendar for a complete description of the disciplinary procedures that apply to academic misconduct including plagiarism.
Avoiding Plagiarism:
Whether you are using direct quotations, paraphrasing, or borrowing ideas, you must provide appropriate references in order to avoid plagiarism. How to do this in journalistic writing will be explained in class.
