Dear All,
I thought you had a good idea what constitutes plagiarism, and thus there is no need to discuss this question with you. However, when reading your works I discovered an example of blatant plagiarism in one of the works written earlier by one of your peers. Thus I think it is necessary to return to the discussion of this issue to make it clearer to you what it is and how to avoid it.
Below is a short test which I am asking you to complete on your own before we'll discuss the answers together. Read the descriptions of the situations that refer to how smth was written and decide which of the situations presents a case of plagiarism. Also, explain why if you can.
When you finish, we'll discuss your answers and will do a number of exercises to help you have practise in writing without plagiarising.
Here is a presentation we're going to watch to learn more about what to do and how to avoid plagiarising:

Next, let's do the exercise the link to which is provided below:
https://learning.hccs.edu/faculty/jennifer.vacca/engl1301/argument-research-essay/purdue-owl-quoting-summarizing-and-paraphrasing-handouts-and-exercise
Write your version of paraphrased sentence 1 in the thread
I'll also add another exercise to help you practise paraphrasing later today (13.11.2019)
You should practise paraphrasing the other excerpts from the exercise from the Purdue University (the link is above)
More materials (added 25.11.2019)
We're practising paraphrasing with you and doing a set of exercises to help you master this skill. First, we're going to watch a video explaining what constitutes plagiarism and how you can paraphrase the other people's words not to plagiarise:
Stop Thief. Avoid Plagiarism by Paraphrasing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z3EHIoa9HI
Next we'll discuss the difference between quoting, paraphrasing and summarising:
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/using_research/quoting_paraphrasing_and_summarizing/index.html
After that we will discuss the steps to paraphrasing without plagiarising in more detail:

And then we'll do a number of exercises to practise paraphrasing and summarising:
a) https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/using_research/quoting_paraphrasing_and_summarizing/paraphrasing.html
Try to do the exercises yourselves first and then check yourselves against the KEY. Makes notes for us to be able to compare your answers with the key

Question 1:P definitely plagiarised, no doubts about it
ReplyDeleteQuestion 2: DEFINETELY plagiarised, no doubt
Question 3 Again, it is the case of plagiarism, though we're talking about "just" one sentence!
Question 4: This is what you should do, it's an example of one of the ways of encorporating smb else's ideas into your writing
Question 5: Seequ 4, not plagiarised
Question 6: it is plagiarised, again
Question 7: same as 5 & 6
Question 8: Not plagiarised
Question 9: Not plagiarised
Question 10: Not plagiarised
If smb does it without knowing it,it is still the case of plagiarism.
ReplyDeleteGenerally, your quotation should not6 be more than 2-3 lines and it should be said in such a beautiful and eloquent way that you cannot express this idea better.

DeleteOne of the main sources of cold on the Earth is the Antarctic. It helps to keep the temperature of our planet balanced.However, now it is endangered due to human activity. From "Captain Cousteau," Audubon (May 1990):17.

ReplyDeleteN. Yu. Here is a sample paraphrasis of the 1st excerpt:According to Jacques Cousteau, the activity of people in Antarctica is jeopardizing a delicate natural mechanism that controls the earth's climate. He fears that human activity could interfere with the balance between the sun, the source of the earth's heat, and the important source of cold from Antarctic waters that flow north and cool the oceans and atmosphere ("Captain Cousteau" 17).
ReplyDeleteThe Antarctic cools our planet and has great control over our climate. The cold ocean water around Antarctica mixes with tropical ocean waters, and thus helps to cool the surface water and the atmosphere. But this system is now threatened by human activity.
