Plagiarism and Citation Style: Writing Assignment

Here some questions related to citation and pagiarism, actually this was my assignment:

1. What is plagiarism?

Plagiarism is the action of copying one’s words or ideas illegally. This kind of cite work often occur when someone or a stundent do such an assignment, for instance, writing from sources. A student, sometime, do it by accidentally or, even by intentionally. When a student do not fully understands what documentation is and how to do it, it means that he does plagiarism accidentally.But, when a student make a paper by copying his friend’s paper which borrowed to him, it indicates that he does plagiarism intentionally. Plagiarism could be borowing one’s friend, downloading a paper from internet, retaining too much of the wording and style of original in pharaprasing, etc.

2. Give exampes of quoting sources!

a)      Short quotations. Example:

According to Foulkes’ study, dreams may express “profound aspects of personality” (184).

b)      Long quotations. Example:

In her poem “source,” Adrienna Rich explores the roles of women in shaping their word:

The faithful drudging child

The child at the oak desk whose penmanship,

Hard work, stile will win her prizes

Becomes the women with a mission, not to win prizes

But to change the laws of history. (23)

c)      Adding or omitting words in quotation. Example:

In an essay on urban legends, Jan Harold Brunvand notes that “some individuals make a point of learning every recent rumor or tale … and in a short time a lively exchange of details occurs” (78)
