Presentation

How The Internet Affects Plagiarism from c_rudden

This is an Ignite presentation I gave as part of my CT231 course. Some of the slides may seem a bit obscure without the words but I'll be going into more detail on some of the topics at a later date. I think it gives a nice overview on what this blog is all about.

What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is essentially using someone else's words or ideas without acknowledgement. There are many definitions out there so rather than quote one I would suggest that students look up their own University's official definition to be clear on the guidelines.

 

In many cases, plagiarism is inadvertent and can be easily avoided through educating students on proper referencing. No-one wants to be dragged in front of an official college board and this blog aims to ensure that that will never happen. Hopefully some of the tips you will learn from this blog will be useful in your future studies.
