Academic Integrity and Avoiding Plagiarism

Our world has seen enough of people (even in high office, at major newspapers, or at the top of the corporate ladder) cheating and otherwise showing themselves to be dishonorable or liars. As you approach your work in researching your paper, you need to hold firm to the values of honesty and integrity in what you do.

Carefully read through two sets of guidelines about how to avoid plagiarism and maintain academic integrity.

• Avoiding Plagiarism: An Example (Vincent W. Hevern). I give you specific guidelines and examples about the right and the wrong ways of using research sources in your writing. I also summarize a set of "Do's and Dont's" for your writing

• Establishing Authorship (Paul Smith, Alverno College). Some years ago, Prof. Smith gave me permission to reproduce his guide for students about plagiarism and proper attribution of authorship. Please read through his materials carefully.
