Plagiarism and academic integrity It is crucial to remember the policies concerning plagiarism and to develop a solid understanding of what constitutes plagiarism. Plagiarism is the use of someone else’s words or work without giving appropriate credit. How to Avoid Plagiarism Utilizing quality and objective sources, and citing these sources using APA standards, will help you to adhere to the standards of academic integrity and the code of conduct. Correctly citing and referencing are your best defense against accidental plagiarism, so this week we will continue to work on developing APA skills. We will also discuss other strategies to avoid plagiarizing, and consider the ethical implications of cheating.

Netiquette As we consider academic integrity and ethical conduct, keep netiquette in mind too. Online discussions lack some of the social cues we depend on in face-to-face conversations, such as body language and tone of voice. That can make online posts easy to misinterpret. Keeping a positive and appropriate tone helps us maintain a positive environment in our learning community. This week, we will explore why conduct and tone are so important to an online learning community. 1. Did any of the information in the Catalog - such as the consequences - surprise you? Why or why not? 2. Given the potential consequences for plagiarizing, why do you think students engage in plagiarism? Be sure to explore at least two possible reasons why students might plagiarize. 3. What strategies will you use to avoid plagiarism?

I am familiar with all the information in the Catalog from academic integrity to disciplinary actions taken against plagiarism. This is because of my experiences with IGCSEs in high school and since UoPeople is the 3rd university I attend. Other than going over the code of academic integrity in educational institutions, I have also been reminded of it in my work experiences as a researcher, social media coordinator, and academy founder. Meaning that plagiarism can be done in everything from copying an activity you saw online and doing it in class as a teacher to posting a quote of a famous person on social media and not giving it credit. After all the consequences mentioned, students engage in plagiarism mainly due to limitations in time and ideas. Most of the students have been taught about plagiarism and can access reference tools and styles online at all times. So usually it’s not an issue of raising awareness but more so of lack of management. The main strategy I use to avoid plagiarism is that after I cite my paraphrases and quote wherever needed, I check my writing on a plagiarism checker usually on Grammarly.
