PLAGIARISM EXERCISE 1

PLAGIARISM EXERCISE

Plagiarism Exercise

Plagiarism means to use the ideas or writings of another (American Psychological

Association, 2020). It involves using someone else’s work without properly acknowledging

the source and is considered academic and intellectual dishonesty (Story-Jackson et al.,

2018). According to American Psychological Association (2020), there are two types of

plagiarism: use of someone else’s words and use of someone else’s ideas without proper

referencing. Plagiarism is such a serious issue that universities have enacted anti-

plagiarism policies and strategies (Story-Jackson et al., 2018).

Instructors can typically notice or suspect plagiarism when obvious changes are

noted in the quality of a student’s work such as in the style, vocabulary, or content (Story-

Jackson et al., 2018). Plagiarism can be unintentional or intentional. An unintentional

example may be when a student tries to paraphrase information but fails to cite their

source (Story-Jackson et al., 2018). Other cases could be if a student knowingly passes oﬀ

another’s work as their own (Story-Jackson et al., 2018). Plagiarism is easy and students

may do it if they think that they won’t get caught (Story-Jackson et al., 2018).

It is up to the instructor to do the work to detect plagiarism as well as create

policies on how to confront a student and what to do if plagiarism is found (Story-

Jackson et al., 2018). Instructors should follow these policies when they suspect

plagiarism. There should be clear expectations of what the penalties are for plagiarism

and how students will be held accountable.

There are several online tools that can help students and instructors to detect

plagiarism. A common grammar tool, Grammarly, has a plagiarism detector built-in.

Personally, I use it before I submit anything just to be safe. Our online classroom

website, Blackboard, has one called SafeAssign. There are many others that can help

detect problems and help detect plagiarised work.
