Question 1
Discuss plagiarism and use examples where necessary
Introduction
Embarking on your university career can be daunting and it’s easy to fall prey to
plagiarism. However the best way of avoid plagiarising is to learn and apply ethics of
virtuous academic practice from the beginning of your university career. There are
many reasons to avoid plagiarism. You have come to university to learn to know and
speak your own mind, not merely to reproduce the opinions of others - at least not
without attribution. At first it may seem very difficult to develop your own views, and
you will probably find yourself paraphrasing the writings of others as you attempt to
understand and assimilate their arguments. However it is important that you learn to
develop your own voice. You are not necessarily expected to become an original
thinker, but you are expected to be an independent one - by learning to assess
critically the work of others, weigh up differing arguments and draw your own
conclusions. Students who plagiarise undermine the ethos of academic scholarship
while avoiding an essential part of the learning process.
Making sure your references are all correct, or changing enough words in order to
paraphrase is tempting. Avoid plagiarism by finding practical ways to avoid academic
dishonesty and use your academic skills to make a good presentation.
What is plagiarism?
“Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without
their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All
published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic
form, is covered under this definition. Plagiarism may be intentional or reckless, or
unintentional. Under the regulations for examinations, intentional or reckless
plagiarism is a disciplinary offence”. 1 In educational contexts, there are differing
definitions of plagiarism depending on the institution. Plagiarism is considered a
violation of academic integrity and a breach of journalistic ethics. (Wikipedia)
