Plagiarism 101: Part 1



Introductory Activities (supporting  LO 1 and 2)
A.     
 Learners view the introductory humorous video on plagiarism which is located at  http://youtu.be/tUSaQ5-mDRI  and read the following definition found at Turnitin.com

“An act of plagiarism would seem to be easy to recognize based on simple criteria: Is the
work the author’s own creation and written in the author’s own words? If not, does the
writing provide appropriate credit to previous work? Increasingly though, the lines of
what constitute plagiarism are blurring as the Internet reshapes culture and education.”

Formative assessment –discuss video in class and discuss the 10 types of plagiarism* (projected on whiteboard from http://www.geteducated.com/elearning-education-blog/10-types-of-plagiarism-and-academic-cheating/)

B.      Collaborative groups read , discuss the examples in a Google Hangout found at Penn State University’s web page https://www.libraries.psu.edu/psul/lls/students/plagiarism_examples.html
