GUIDELINES FOR

ETHICAL SPEAKING

Make sure that you avoid contradictingmessages.

Always be PREPARED to speak!

Public speakers should not lack veracity.

*e will "# engage in abusive andderogatory language!!!!!! #here is no place$or this in M% class.

&et into the habit o$ practicing these habits.(Lucus, 2013)



Plagiarism is not cool!

Plagiarism is taking someoneelse’s information and presentingit as though it is your own.

In the classroom, you will earn a“0” and in some instances, itcould lead to expulsion fromschool.

(Lucus, 2013)



» )lagiarism is a problem at theprofessional le4el as well &Steinberg#1225? @ewin# 1221-!

˃ For eAample# “Eugene Tobin# former

)resident of Hamilton College resigned afterplagiari=ing a speech from an <ma=on! comboo" re4iew% &Thompson# 1223-!

˃ “Bichard 'udd# president of CentralConnecticut State ni4ersity retired after hewas found to ha4e plagiari=ed materials fromthe New :or" Times% &Thompson# 1223-!



Schroth# B!<! &12*1- stated that# “e4idenceshows that academic dishonesty in its 4ariousforms is spreading li"e the u% &p! *-!

“To some this is merely a copyright 4iolationthat hurts no one8no one eAcept thedecei4er# who degrades himself and theculture he typi.es# where in business and

politics the contradiction between the faceand the public mas" do not matter as long asthe charade ma"es money for some andamuses others% &Schroth# 12*1-!



Students li"ely cheat because thereare too many competing forces intheir personal li4es and because of

this reality# they are generallypressed for time!

So as a result# they becomedesperate remember# a desperate

student may decide to do adesperate thing &Schroth# 12*1-!



Plagiarism, cont’d

• A study was conducted last year to determine i$so$tware such as 'turnitin.com would deter students$rom cheating. #hey $ound that i$ students know thattheir work would be under close scrutiny( they are

likely to be deterred by $rom plagiarism )eckler( Riceand +ryan( ,-/0.

• '#hese $indings suggest that( regardless o$ classstanding( gender( and college ma1or( recognition bythe instructor o$ the nature and e2tent o$ theplagiarism problem and acceptance o$ responsibility$or deterring it are pivotal in reducing the problem3)eckler( Rice and +ryan( ,-/0.



THREE TYPES OF PLAGARS!

• )atchwor" plagiarism occurs when youcopy two or more sources and pasting itonto a word document or power point!

• Incremental plagiarism happens whenyou do not gi4e credit to e4eryoneincluded in the research!

• The same holds true for the “internet!%
