Types of Plagiarism & Unoriginal Work TYPES OF PLAGIARISM & UNORIGINAL WORK The following information was taken from The Plagiarism Spectrum found at turnitin.com Click to Begin #1 CLONE Submitting someone else’s work, word-for-word, as your own. Previous Next CLONE From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, cloning ranks 9.5 and is both the most common and most severe type of plagiarism. Frequency 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Previous Next Cloning is intentional plagiarism and includes: using a friend’s paper from a previous class, purchasing a paper from a paper-mill, downloading a paper you found online, and other instances in which you turn in someone else’s work, unaltered, and claim it as your own. Previous Next #2 CTRL-C Containing significant portions of text from a single source with alterations. Previous Next CTRL-C From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, Ctrl-c ranks 8.9 and is the second most common type of plagiarism. Frequency 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Previous Next Ctrl-c is a common process in which although you have written some of the assignment and included your own thoughts, there are still significant portions that match up word-for-word to another person’s writing, without citation. This occurs often when you cull “research” from various sources, when in fact all you are doing is cutting- and-pasting various sentences from various sources to create paragraphs. Cutting-and-pasting should be avoided. Previous Next #3 FIND-REPLACE Changing key words and phrases but retaining the essential content of the source. Previous Next FIND-REPLACE From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, find-replace ranks a 3.9 in terms of frequency. Frequency 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 Previous Next Find-Replace occurs when you copy a sentence from a source, but change a few key words to alter it and attempt to make it your own. You may think you have changed it enough, but in fact you haven’t. The goal is to put the information entirely in your own words, and then still cite the source if necessary. Previous Next #4 REMIX Mixing paraphrased material from multiple sources. Previous Next REMIX From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, remixing ranks a 5.6 in terms of frequency. Frequency 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Previous Next Remixing occurs when you attempt to paraphrase multiple sentences from multiple sources. This is similar to Find-Replace in your attempt to alter the original information, but still, if you use ideas that are not your own, and information that is not your own, no matter how much you changed the wording, you still need to cite your sources. Previous Next #5 RECYCLE Borrowing generously from one’s previous work without citation. Previous Next RECYCLE From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, recycling ranks a 5.5 in terms of frequency. Frequency 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 Previous Next Recycling is a tricky type of plagiarism that is the cause of much educational strife. Recycling occurs when you use your own previous work for an assignment. Some professors allow this and some do not. Always check with your professor as to whether or not you may use previous work for a current assignment. Some professors even have a policy mentioning this in their syllabus. When in doubt, and when the professor is unavailable, do new work. Professors give assignments relevant to the topic at hand and usually they would like for you to complete new work for that specific assignment. Previous Next #6 HYBRID Combining perfectly cited sources with copied passages without citation. Previous Next HYBRID From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, hybrid ranks a .5 in terms of frequency. Frequency 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 Previous Next Hybrid occurs when you have some perfectly cited sources with copied passages that aren’t cited. It’s like trying to sneak in information under the radar because you, 1) don’t remember where it came from or, 2) don’t think that the professor will notice because you’ve cited everything else properly. Previous Next #7 MASHUP Mixing copied material from multiple sources. Previous Next MASHUP From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, mashup ranks a 9.1 in terms of frequency. Frequency 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Previous Next Mashup occurs when you pull copied information from multiple sources and mix them up together to create sentences and paragraphs. This is similar to remixing, but you haven’t attempted to paraphrase anything, you’ve just copied it “as-is.” Keep this in mind: although copying-and-pasting multiple sentences from multiple sources and putting them together to create paragraphs may seem tempting, you are still plagiarizing. Previous Next #8 404 ERROR Citing non-existent sources or including inaccurate information about sources. Previous Next 404 ERROR From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, 404 Error ranks a .6 in terms of frequency. Frequency 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 Previous Next 404 Error, or File Not Found, is when you attribute your information to a reference that does not exist. This also happens when you create a deliberate typo in an otherwise credible- seeming source. This will only create frustration on your professor’s part and show that you knowingly and deliberately misled them. Previous Next #9 RSS FEED Including proper citation of sources but containing almost no original work. Previous Next RSS FEED From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, RSS Feed ranks a 2.8 in terms of frequency. Frequency 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 Previous Next RSS Feed is seemingly harmless because you took care to completely cite every single thing. Keep in mind, even though you thought you did everything correctly, there is almost no original thought or writing in your work. A paper full of someone else’s research, however properly cited, is still not your own work. Previous Next #10 RE-TWEET Including proper citation but relying too closely on the text’s original wording and/or structure. Previous Next RE-TWEET From a survey of 900 secondary and higher education instructors, on a scale of 1-10, re-tweet ranks a 4.4 in terms of frequency. Frequency 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 Previous Next Re-tweeting is similar to RSS Feed but instead of copying word-for-word, you have made some attempt to paraphrase the original source.

  • Video Essay, Mashup, Copy Right
    Referencing in Academia: Video Essay, Mashup, Copy right Eckart Voigts, Katerina Marshfield 1. Introduction: Producing and Podcasting Videographic Material Digital media have established a remix and mashup machine that has generated a rich range of recombinant appropriations (Voigts 2017)— compiled videos, samplings, remixes, reboots, mashups, short clips, and other material involving text, sound, and image — ​typically found (and lost) on web-based video databases. These remix practices raise ques- tions about referencing and copy right in academic teaching, learning and researching environments that have yet to be fully addressed. Five years ago, in their introduction to Transgression 2.0, Ted Gournelos and David Gunkel pointed out that mashup culture tends to operate in a murky, transgressive legal situation: [...] mashup and remixing are patently and unapologetically ille- gal. Produced by appropriating, decontextualizing, and recombin- ing the creative material of others, the mashup is a derivative ‘com- position’ that violates the metaphysical concept of originality, the cultural status of the author and the authority of authorship, and every aspect of intellectual property law and copy right (Gunkel/ Gournelos 2012: 11). In this paper, we will provide a tentative view of the current situation that has grown from a teaching project entitled ‘Producing and Podcast- ing Film Analytical Audio Commentaries’. We will proceed by providing Media in Action | Issue 2/2017 | http://mediainaction.uni-siegen.de 114 Thematic Focus : Copy right Law a short portrait of the project, before focussing on the issues of evaluat- ing and referencing videographic material, remixes and mashups. The aim of the ‘Audio Commentaries’ project was to develop student cultural techniques (in German ‘Kulturtechniken’).

  • Found Footage Experience. Pratictices of Cinematic Re-Use and Forms of Contemporary Film
    Found Footage Experience. Pratictices of cinematic re-use and forms of contemporary film edited by Rossella Catanese (University of Udine) and Giacomo Ravesi (Roma Tre University) In contemporary visual culture, the polysemy of cinematographic language finds its emblematic manifestation in the various paradigms of image re-use, which contextualises and relocates their functions in new interpretative formulas. The practice of found footage consists of the cinematographic, videographic and artistic practice of appropriation, re-elaboration and re- assembly of pre-existing images retrieved from heterogeneous media archives: from photography to stock footage and from home-movies to TV documentation and the web. One of the attractions of postmodern culture as a form of recycling, re-use and combination of different materials recovered from a past interpreted as a vast reservoir of imagery, found footage keeps its interest alive even in the epistemological trajectories of the so-called “new realism,” where a “society of recording” emerges (Ferraris 2011) in which everything must leave a trace and be archived. Moreover, deconstructionist thought has shown how inheritance should be understood not as a datum but always as a task, since archiving also responds to the need for regulation: preserving documents means imposing an order and establishing control through safeguarding and cataloguing devices. At the same time, audiovisual consumption practices have today become complex and composite forms of reception which rewrite the spectatorial experience and the uses and habits of accessibility, availability and relationship with films and audiovisual materials. The history of cinema is configured as a “visual deposit” (Bertozzi 2012) at the origin of the development of new formal writings and metaphorical processes.

The culminating zine project requires students to integrate information from multiple sources, selecting details to support a central idea. Students will also gain vocabulary skills, including the use of word roots and affixes and an awareness of words’ connotations. Students will learn to “read like writers,” which requires thinking about the choices authors have made in terms of content, format, and word choice. Unit Standards and Objectives Standard #1: Citizen Schools students will prepare a clear written communication. Standard #2: CCSS.RI.6.1: Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Standard #3: CCSS.RI.6.2: Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through details. Standard #4: CCSS.RI.6.4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings Standard #5: CCSS.RI.6.6: Determine an author’s point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text. Lesson Objectives: ● SWBAT identify the big idea of a text. ● SWBAT identify two details that support the big idea of a text. ● SWBAT provide a brief summary of the text. ● SWBAT read like a writer by thinking about why the author made the choices s/he did, and what the author is trying to get the reader to think, feel, or understand while they are reading.

  • We Have Always Had Mashups, Or Mashing up Transmediality George P
    We Have Always Had Mashups, or Mashing Up Transmediality George P. Landow Brown University, USA doi: 10.7358/ijtl-2015-001-land [email protected] ABSTraCT After examining the intertwined concepts of media, information technology, and mash- ups, this essay draws upon examples from ancient Greek literature based upon orality, Latin scribal culture, and printed poetry to demonstrate that the practice of mash-up is central to our understanding of both media and transmediality. Translating texts originally created in another language and verse form exemplifies one major instance of transmediality, and the way Elizabethan English poets self-consciously borrow, rewrite, and challenge Catullus provide far more wonderfully outrageous examples of mash-up than modern musical ones. Keywords: mashup; medium; transmediality; literary tradition; transliterality; Catullus; poems. The term mashup originally comes from British-West Indies slang meaning to be intoxicated, or as a description for something or someone not functioning as intended. In recent English parlance it can refer to music, where people seamlessly combine audio from one song with the vocal track from another-thereby mashing them together to create something new. – Wikipedia 1. MASHUP, MEDIUM, AND ‘TraNSMEDia’ LITEraCY According to Wikipedia, that wonderful example of text-and-image mashups in a digital, networked environment, a mashup – or mash up or mash-up – “is a song or composition created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by overlaying the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instru- International Journal of Transmedia Literacy – 1.1 - December 2015 http://www.ledonline.it/transmedialiteracy/ 67 George P. Landow mental track of another.” According to the Wikipedia article, which contains a useful list of examples, “The original manifestation of mashups in the 2000s was putting an a cappella against a completely different backing track, in order to make a “third song”.

Do you want to be a victim of this war, or do you want to get in there and be one of the protagonists or antagonists in this? So I want you to think really carefully about how you are using the work of others. And if you want to pull a clip from a song and you want to mix it in with something you are writing, I want you to think about all of the ethical implications, and I want you to be ready to stand up and say "I'm taking responsibility for this, and I think I should be allowed to do this and here's why." If you can't do that, you'd better not. 01:02 ["Eder Diego, Communication Design Major" onscreen] DIEGO: In the future, I think I could see the paper as being a multimedia thing.

  • Mashup Contest: Student Created Video Parodies Mashup Contest
    Mashup Contest: Student created video parodies Anu Vedantham, Director, Weigle Information Commons Dr. Peter Decherney, Assistant Professor, English and Cinema Studies University of Pennsylvania Description: We will showcase digital media success stories in undergraduate classrooms at the University of Pennsylvania that have emerged from the first year of the Weigle Information Commons at the Penn Libraries. We will focus on the creation, organization and results of the 2007 Mashup Contest. Building on the common freshman reading of Lawrence Lessig’s book “Free Culture”, the contest brought together several entities around campus. Students created original video and mashups of commercial video to parody well-known movies. We will show award winning entries and discuss interesting classroom assignments that have emerged. Student-created video is an interesting undergraduate assignment option at Penn, in some cases as an alternative to traditional research papers. Creative video assignments can engage students in high-level critical thinking, writing, planning, scripting and group collaboration tasks. Creative use of space, technology and collaborative assignments can engage students in new ways of acquiring knowledge. Mashup Contest Basics Website: http://wic.library.upenn.edu/workshops/mashup.html Students created a four-minute video parody of a well-known film. Three faculty judges chose the winning entries with a grand prize of a digital videocamera. Spin-off effects have included several faculty incorporating video assignments into
