WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?

According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to “PLAGIARIZE" means:

• to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own

• to use (another's production) without crediting the source

• to commit literary theft

• to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.

-- As quoted on www.plagiarism.org DO YOU KNOW?

 Bjorklund and Wenestam suggest that academic honesty seems somewhat limited if you compare the notes of (Baird, 1980; Jendreck, 1992) who cite;

-cheating rates as high as 85%

-detection rates as low as 1.30%.

WHY STUDENTS PLAGIARIZE?

When students were asked: “Why do you think some students plagiarize?”, they said:

• Student perceived workload

• Too little time

• Ignorance / inadequate referencing skills

• Culture of cheating & Students beliefs : “Everyone Cheats"

• Ease of getting information from Internet, online resources, etc

• Low risks of getting caught / Nobody will find out

DO YOU KNOW?

Cheating on campus increased an estimated 744% from 1993 to 1997, says University of California-Berkeley officials
