Notes about Plagiarism, and How to Avoid It
Intellectual property includes any words, ideas images or creative works.
Plagiarism is the stealing of words, ideas, images, or creative works.
Plagiarism, whether or not it is intentional, is seen as an academic crime.
Using someone's else's ideas, words, or other creations without clearly acknowledging where they came from is plagiarism.
When you incorporate someone else's work (words, statistics, charts, graphs, images, etc.) into a paper you are writing,
It is extremely important to give credit where credit is due.
Five things that can lead to plagiarism are:
Taking notes by copying directly from text
Researching by cutting and pasting information from the Internet
Often forgetting to write down title, author, and other citation information
Feeling nervous about asking the instructor for help
Not wanting to admit you don’t understand something
What three things can you do to avoid plagiarism?
Set up a schedule for each assignment
Start your research and writing early
Set up a template page for notes that includes spaces for author, title, date, etc.
These are five ways you can take good notes:
The first thing you should include when copying text verbatim is a citation and
bibliographic information.
Draw lines in between notes pertaining to different authors.
Use different colored pens or different fonts to highlight your words and the author’s separately.
Use quotation marks to show the original text.
Avoid too much cutting-and-pasting.

Welcome to ALI!
Here we are on our class blog! It's Friday, and we have been here almost one week. Your teachers are excited about beginning this semester together. We are going to learn and share many things.
Today we'll be playing a game called Jeopardy. Do you know how to play? Here is what the game board looks like. It has several categories of information. Each category has a dollar value. When your team gets a correct answer, you score dollars instead of points. When we play the game we'll use categories from some of the things we learned in class this week. Good luck to you!
