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. An honest person
always tells the truth.
Academic honesty refers to
things that happen at a school or
college.
An honest student does not cheat or steal the academic work of others.
What are some examples of
cheating?
If a student gets answers to test questions from another student, this is cheating.
If a student copies another student’s project, this is cheating.
Go to the online Student Handbook
for more information about cheating.
http://studenthandbook.hct.ac.ae/common/stand_5.html
What about copying from a
book or a website without crediting
the source?
This kind of cheating is called PLAGIARISM. It is
stealing the words or ideas of another person.
Here are details from the Student Handbook.
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.
محدودة غير لكن و للغش االمثله بعض هذه
فقط األنواع هذه علىأن غير من مصدر أي اخذ وقت أي في حاولت إذا
غش يعتبر فهذا توثقه
Plagiarism is : using the work of someone else, or changing some words and keeping the same structure and the same meaning without noting the source(s), and submitting it as your own work.
مع أخر شخص عمل استخدامو الكلمات بعض تغيير
الترتيب نفس على المحافظةغير من المعني نفس و للجملة
العمل وانتساب المصدر ذكرلك
Plagiarism is : taking text from many other sources and putting pieces together as one document and submitting it as your own work, without noting the source(s).
مصادر من الجمل اخذملف في وضعها و عديدهغير من تسليمها و واحد
المصدر ذكر
Plagiarism is : downloading information, pictures or charts from the Internet and inserting that material into your own document and submitting it as your own work without noting the source(s).
مثل االنترنت من الملفات تحميلالبياني الرسم و الجدول و الصورو الخاص ملفك في استخدامها و
ذكر دوم بك خاص عمل تسليمها.المصدر
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.
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.
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.
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.
