Plagiarism - Don’t Do It
Kirstie Hawkey originally written in 2003 when I was a PhD Student, Teaching Assistant, & Lecturer
Academic Integrity Quiz Individually Small Group
Don’t Do It In order not to “do it”, you need to
know what it is. Go to Dalhousie’s Academic Integrity
website (http://www.dal.ca/dept/university_secretariat/academic-integrity.html)
Talk to our CS Librarian Gwendolyn McNairn if you have questions
For each class, find out what level of collaboration is allowed
In-class exercise You Quote It, You Note It tutorial
http://libcasts.library.dal.ca/Tutorials/QuoteNoteA/
Do you REALLY understand? Don’t sign anything that says that you
understand what plagiarism or academic integrity is unless you really do understand it
Make it your first priority to really understand it

Don’t Do It We can catch you… we have the
technology Google – a great way to find
information, a great way to find where plagiarizers found information
Your TA’s and professors are computer scientists with brains used to seeing patterns. Changing a few words or rearranging something rarely fools us.
Don’t Do It Dalhousie has subscribed to
SafeAssign Compares submissions with online
databases
It’s not just writing We can analyze your code and
detect similarities Compiled code can be compared to
the submissions of previous years. Rearranging functions and renaming
variables and changing indentation doesn’t change the underlying structure – and that is what is compared.
Learn how to express yourself Demonstrate to your professor that
you know the material Your ability to cut and paste is not
what you will be marked on. A paper full of quotations says that
you don’t understand it well enough to use your own words
Protect yourself Don’t let others see your written words. Keep collaboration with others at the
concept level. Lock your computer when you leave it,
even if just for a minute. Make sure you are aware what is being
submitted on your behalf for group work.
Don’t Do It The faculty is making a strong effort
to curb plagiarism. Don’t become the next person with
an F in a course and a notation on their transcript of academic dishonesty for the sake of a better mark on a 4% assignment What seems like the easy way out at
the time carries some heavy consequences
