What is plagiarism?
The document defines plagiarism as using another's words or ideas without giving them proper credit. It derives from the Latin word for "kidnapping." Plagiarism can occur whether using direct quotes, paraphrased text, ideas, or other content without citation. The document provides examples of content that should and should not require citations, noting it is best to cite any borrowed information to avoid plagiarism. Common reasons students plagiarize include not knowing how to cite sources, poor note taking, or taking the easy path instead of doing their own original work.
Revision
The document discusses tips and guidelines for revising and editing written work. It defines revising as making large-scale structural changes, editing as refining syntax, grammar, flow and meaning, and proofreading as checking for typographical errors. Common style guides are referenced. Revision is important because people cannot perfectly convey their ideas the first time and are constantly learning. Editing partners can help authors identify mistakes they may miss in their own work.
What this means to me
The document provides guidance on writing a reflection paper about a research process by suggesting topics to address such as any fears during the process, frustrations with planning and note-taking, how notes and outlines were used, what was learned about oneself, successes that occurred, and how to approach future research papers differently. It instructs the writer to draw from journal entries and limits the paper to one page.
Analogy
Getting up early in the morning to attend class is compared to taking a bitter pill. Both involve struggling against oneself and finding reasons to delay or avoid the unpleasant task. However, in both cases one ultimately completes the task because it is good for them, just as pills make you healthier and attending class is beneficial for one's education. The comparison is effective because it draws parallels between the difficulty of rising early and the difficulty of swallowing an unpleasant medicine, but both are done because they are necessary.
Summaries
This PowerPoint takes the concepts of summarizing and visually illustrates how to effectively take a group of words to identify the main points, remove irrelevant information, and reorganize into a summary.
