Plagiarism and Copyright
How I gave up “copy and paste” and learned to cite responsibly!
• To help you understand Plagiarism
• To show you how to keep from plagiarizing when you do your school projects
Two reasons for this PowerPoint
What, exactly, is What, exactly, is
Tell me what you think
Plagiarism
• is claiming another person’s work as your
own
APA Style (Gibaldi, 2003, p. 66)MLA Style (Gibaldi 66)
Is plagiarism Cheating?
What can be plagiarized?
Words Can be plagiarized . .
Videos, too - -
So. . .What Else?
There’smusic,
and Lyrics
Two types of plagiarism:
• Intentionalo Copying a friend’s worko Buying or borrowing papers o Cutting and pasting blocks
of text from electronic sources without documenting
o Media “borrowing” without documentationo Web publishing without
permissions of creators
• Unintentionalo Careless paraphrasingo Poor documentationo Quoting excessivelyo Failure to use your
own “voice”
It even includes . . ideas that have been expressed
in a tangible form
Really any creation can be plagiarized
You might be surprised to learn
So. . .what’s a person
supposed to do?
Hmmmmmmm!!?!!
First, think about the information you’re using when you do a project
. . .
Did you already know the
information. . . or
If you didn’t know it before -
Did you learn it doing this project?
Hmmmmmmm!!?!!
Hmmmmmmm!!?!!
“Is it my responsibility to
give credit?”
Ask yourself:
“Does someone else deserve credit?!?”
AND
If you are using materials that belong to somebody
else . . . then, you must give them credit!
“OK, so it’s my responsibility to give credit . . . but
How in the world do I do that??”
Do You Remember seeing the next slide before?

This statement was paraphrased from a book. I didn’t want to plagiarize, so I’m going to give
credit. You can use either APA or MLA styles to give credit.
APA Style (Gibaldi, 2003, p. 66)MLA Style (Gibaldi 66)
Notice that this information was placed directly with the paraphrased
information
Not just at the end of the project in a bibliography.
This is Part I of how we give credit! Giving credit with the information --
within the projectIt is called “Internal Citation”
APA Style (Gibaldi, 2003, p. 66)MLA Style (Gibaldi 66)
Part II of giving credit involves making a Bibliography.Bibliographies are required if you are:• Writing a paper,• Making a poster,• Doing a PowerPoint• Making a video• Basically completing any assignment• Here’s an example . . .

But. . .
For now, we’re just mentioning giving credit.
Don’t worry, you’ll learn more about how to give credit in
another lesson!
Let’ talk about a relative of plagiarism . . .
Copyright laws “protect the financial interests of the creators, producers, and distributors of original works.”
(Smaldino et al. 11)
When most people create something – a book, music -
whateverGuess what?!
They hope to make money and support themselves!!
But, if people use those materials and not pay for them,
They are robbing the artists, authors, and others of their
livelihood!
Not only that, they are breaking copyright laws!
Breaking copyright laws is called Copyright Infringement
If caught, a person could face tremendous fines, at the least!
You could be guilty of Copyright Infringement
• Even if you are careful to not plagiarize, you can still break
copyright laws!
Let’s say you want to use several pictures of an artist’s work that you
found on Google images
All you need to do is copy and paste. It’s so
easy!
You can only use those picture if the web site tell you it is OK! If no permission – then
NO USE
You decide it’s OK as long as you give credit. You
think – “that way I won’t plagiarize!”

What’s the big deal?? Is it really so important?

There is no pride in work that isn’t your own!!
It’s your decision. On which side of the line will you land?
