“What Plagiarism Means to Me”

Plagiarism will not be tolerated by OKWU! This means to me as a student, I am solely responsible for my own writing and research on any given assignment. If I use a resource from another person, I need permission from that person and will site that person for their work. Participating in the act of plagiarism isn’t worth the consequences, I ‘d rather take a little extra time and do my work right, advantage is, there is always room to learn something new everyday in the work that is ask of you. I’ve work too long and hard to get this far, I’m not going risk my career for plagiarism.

Definition: “ The act of using another person’s ideas or expressions in writing without acknowledging the source.” (Oklahoma Wesleyan University AGS Student Handbook Online 2012-2013, “ Academic Honesty” p.30, paragraph 1).

Examples:
1. Coping all or part of a theme, examination, paper, library reading report, or other assigned written work from another person’s production.
2. Quoting material from any source without proper documentation.

Consequences: Plagiarism may lead to dismal from the University. Faculty members are required to report each case to the Vice President for AGS. Unquestionable evidence will be in hand before any action will be taken to confront and accuse a student of plagiarism.
(Oklahoma Wesleyan University AGS Student Handbook Online 2012-2013, Academic Honesty” p.30, paragraph 2).

    Plagiarism

    Plagiarism can be defined as using others published ideas or words and representing them as original (Bird, Sivilotti, 2008).Although plagiarism is not a new issue it has grown it the past few years due the increase use of technology. Plagiarism is one of the most challenging problems facing education (Shenton, 2010). This being due to the escalated amount of material found on the internet with ease and quickly implement into one’s own document (Shenton, 2010). In today’s age plagiarism is more accepted in between students. Most students fail to grasp the concept of properly acknowledging the information from its original source; which they also tend to believe any information found on the internet is free to use (Shenton, 2010).

While most students had been told by a professor not to plagiarize; most students themselves did not know how to apply it (Power, 2009). Some students view plagiarizing as a minor offense (Power, 2009). Plagiarism can be explored through many avenues with more students viewing plagiarism and cheating as more acceptable maybe this…
