Examples of plagiarism may include but are not limited to the following 3 situations only. Anytime you copy and do not note the source(s) of the information, you are plagiarizing.

Let’s look at this more carefully.

Would you steal a car? Would you steal a

laptop? Would you steal a mobile phone?

Of course not. But if you copy from a book

or the Internet without crediting the source, you are stealing the words of a writer.

HCT considers plagiarism the same as other forms of cheating. Students can be forced to leave the college if

they plagiarize.

Students will not be allowed to go to other colleges in the

UAE if they have left a college because of

plagiarism.

Again, plagiarism, or stealing the

words of others, is a serious issue for HCT students.

How can you avoid plagiarism? Fortunately, it is

simple.

Page 15: ACADEMIC HONESTY & PLAGIARISM. What is the meaning of honest (adjective) or honesty (noun) ? An honest person is someone who does not lie, cheat or steal

The best way to avoid plagiarism is to

paraphrase what you read. This means that you write the ideas in your own words. You can make the original shorter and simpler.

Your English teachers can explain how to paraphrase.

Ask your teacher to show you or give you PlugIn 37 USING THE ONLINE

THESAURUS AND DICTIONARY IN WORD.

This will help you learn how to paraphrase.

Page 17: ACADEMIC HONESTY & PLAGIARISM. What is the meaning of honest (adjective) or honesty (noun) ? An honest person is someone who does not lie, cheat or steal

If you need to use the exact words in a text,

you must put “quotation marks”

around these words.

You must also indicate the source of the words (original of paraphrase). This is called a REFERENCE or a CITATION.

Page 18: ACADEMIC HONESTY & PLAGIARISM. What is the meaning of honest (adjective) or honesty (noun) ? An honest person is someone who does not lie, cheat or steal

Ask your teacher to show you or give the PlugIn lessons about

writing IN-TEXT REFERENCES

OR CITATIONS.

And, PlugIn lessons about writing a REFERENCE LIST

or BIBLIOGRAPHY.

I hope this helps you understand about academic

honesty.

Remember plagiarism (copying from a print or online resource) is the same as cheating. Learn how

to paraphrase and write references of the sources of your

information.
