Cheating and plagiarism are forbidden and I expect honesty in all matters from all students. Please cite all sources and give credit to others when you use or borrow their ideas. If the idea is not your own, whether using exact words or paraphrasing, then you must cite the original author. If using another's direct words, you must use quotation marks to indicate borrowing.…

Plagiarism is defined as copying the language, phrasing, structure, or specific ideas of others and presenting any of these as one 's own, original work; it includes buying papers, having someone else write your papers, and improper citation and use of sources. When you present the words or ideas of another (either published or unpublished) in your writing, you must fully acknowledge your sources. Plagiarism is considered a violation of academic integrity whenever it occurs in written work, including drafts and homework, as well as for formal and final papers.…
DO NOT use outside sources for the substance of your argument (which should be original), though you may use them, where needed, for support or illustration. When you quote, paraphrase, or use a fact, interpretation, or any other material from any source (including the works you are writing about), be sure to cite correctly; put quotes around exact wording, make sure a paraphrase is entirely your own language, and document MLA Style (MLA Handbook, 7th edition).…
It surprised me how broad the term ‘plagiarism’ is. I have always understood that you cannot simply copy and paste from Google (or other websites) as that is purely cheating, but I did not realise that copying 5 consecutive words in a row is labelled as plagiarism. I found this very interesting and now understand academic…

“All three forms of plagiarism are extremely unethical” Griffin says. But student can avoid plagiarizing in a number of ways. Firstly, is to make sure that they reference properly. Every idea, every concept, and every quotation is cited with the surname of the author, and the date of publication. Or for quotation a page number. So that it’s very clear that that is the source of that idea and student can block off any perceived or potential plagiarism by very clearly citing. ( Griffin,…
According to Lowe & Dougherty (2014), intentional plagiarism typically stems from fear of failure, poor planning/time management skills, or viewing the course material and the consequences of cheating as unimportant. Unintentional plagiarism is usually caused by a lack of understanding the use of proper citations when attempting to integrate ideas. The best way to avoid plagiarism is to learn the appropriate use of citations and the proper format for references. Understanding the difference between using someone else’s words in a direct quote and paraphrasing is important, as each method requires the information to be cited differently. Aside from learning the appropriate use of citations and references, it is necessary to understand the importance of course materials and the seriousness of the consequences for cheating. Learning proper time management skills will also help students to remain vigilant when citing sources used to support the information being…
Plagiarism is not being truthful about your own work and trying to rewrite in a different way as if it was your own words. For example, copy information from the internet, not citing or paraphrase properly and not having a reference page. Yet, many people wonder why students plagiarize. I believe students plagiarize because some students wait until the last minute to do their work, rushing trying to turn in their assignment, not properly understanding how to cite, paraphrase, or use citations. However, other students just do not know how to write a paper properly and want their paper to sound different from their own writing.…

I agree that Asian Americans are not present in film in any meaningful way. Limited roles for Asians were shown in the media, and most of them were stereotyped as martial art masters, nerds lacking appropriate social, or people from very poor classes. These negative images really affect the lives of Asian Americans in this country since media stereotypes shape people’s perception about Asian Americans. Underrepresentation or misrepresentation of Asian Americans in film does lead to the racism and discrimination that Asian Americans still face in our society.…
Plagiarism can be exposed in many other way ways, not just simply copying one’s work word for word without using quotation marks. Be always mindful to also give the author credibility by also including the source in the bibliography. Plagiarism is shown not just through copying word for word, but also through small ideas and information that are used from other sources and incorporating it as your own without citing the source(Plagiarism).…
Plagiarism comes from a Latin word meaning “kidnap”. Many people have given different meanings to the term plagiarism. Plagiarism is the worst form of fraud a student can be involved in. All students are advised to avoid this at all times. Plagiarism is caused by unfamiliarity with what they are supposed to be writing about or what they are learning about students are advised to familiarize themselves with the topics they are supposed to write about in advance. In my case I did not copy but I let people copy my paper and I did not make the right decision because not only did I cheat them out of their education but I put myself in a situation where I could get in trouble.…
