1. The document discusses plagiarism, including its definition as stealing and passing off another's work as one's own without credit. It also discusses different types of plagiarism like copying word-for-word or changing words but copying structure.
2. Proper citation of sources is important for giving credit to other scholars and providing a roadmap for readers. Citations allow scholars to join an ongoing academic conversation about a topic.
3. Academic writing should involve doing one's own thinking rather than just reporting others' ideas. Sources should be integrated and their purpose made clear rather than leaving readers to guess.
Plagiarism is not always a matter of deliberate theft; it can happen inadvertently through misunderstanding academic conventions of referencing and attribution, or through inappropriate collaboration with other students on your course. This session is designed to explain guidelines on plagiarism, to look at some real-life case studies, and to give you information and strategies to help you avoid it.

PLAGIARISM_THE BASICS FOR UNDERGRAD STUDENTSBeschara Karam
Plagiarism involves using others' ideas or work without proper attribution. There are two main types: text plagiarism, which involves using direct quotes, paraphrases, or manipulated text without citation; and reference list plagiarism, where sources are not properly included. Plagiarism is considered intellectual theft and academic dishonesty. It can be intentional or unintentional, but both are violations of academic integrity. Universities have strict policies against plagiarism and offenders can face serious consequences.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. Plagiarism Defined
Plagiarism is defined as presenting someone else's work as one's own. Any
ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use
must be fully acknowledged.
Do not need to cite:
• Your own lived experiences, observations, thoughts, and conclusions
• Your own research, such as results from experiments or field observations
• Your own photographs, video, audio, or other media
• Common knowledge and general accepted facts
Unintentional Plagiarism may result from the disregard for or unawareness of proper
scholarly procedures, including using sources correctly and citing those sources.
3. Avoiding Plagiarism
3 ways to get information from sources into your paper:
• Quoting – using an author’s exact words
• Paraphrasing – putting an author’s ideas into your own words
• Summarizing – putting an author’s ideas into your own words in a
shorter format
4. Quoting: How to do it?
Choose passages that either seem especially well
phrased or are unique to the author or subject matter.
Be selective in your quotations.
Integrate your quotes into your writing.
You don’t have to quote a whole passage. Use ellipses (…)
to indicate words left out.
5. Paraphrasing: How to do it?
• Don’t just take a passage and change a word here or there.
• Read the passage, reflect upon it, and restate it.
• Look away from your sources.
• Paraphrase and then go back and check. Are there any phrases
that have come directly from the text?
6. Summarizing: How to do it?
• Ask yourself:
• What is the main idea that the author is trying to convey?
• What idea does all of the supporting evidence point to?
• What is most important to me in the context in which I am
writing?
