This document discusses academic honesty and plagiarism. It defines plagiarism as presenting another's work as one's own by copying without citing sources. Plagiarism can be unintentional by failing to cite sources or intentional by copying directly from the internet or another student's work. Teachers check for plagiarism by searching online and comparing students' work. To avoid plagiarism, students must cite sources within their work using in-text citations and reference lists. Direct quotes, paraphrases and summaries all require citations.

8. How is plagiarism detected? through lack of citation through lack of bibliographic depth through changes in the tone of writing if you’ve never written like this before if assessment tasks are very different in quality from supervised work when two assessment tasks submitted are either identical or very similar to each other
9. Teachers and schools may: Check your reference list Search online for suspected plagiarism Ask questions about your research to confirm that you have the indicated level of knowledge Ask students to submit drafts and process diaries Focus on in-class writing instead of project work Have students do oral tasks to confirm that the work submitted is your own
10. Plagiarism can be avoided by acknowledging the sources used, by- Writing in – text references or footnotes in the body of your work to acknowledge quotations, summaries, paraphrases and copies Writing a reference list Writing a bibliography
11. What’s the difference bw quoting, summarising and paraphrasing Quoting is using the authors words exactly. (Enclose the author’s words in quotation mark if a short quote, or set it off as an indented paragraph if it’s a long quote.) A summary selects and condenses the main idea of a text Paraphrasing is putting someone else’s idea(s) into your own words. A paraphrase covers points the author has made, while changing the words All three must have citations and must be listed in your reference list
12. When and how should sources be acknowledged with the body of a work? When? How? When you quote, paraphrase, summarise or copy information from the sources you are using, you must acknowledge the source There are two places where you need to acknowledge the source: in the text (in-text citation)and at the end of the text (bibliography) You must acknowledge the original author and where you found the material. This can be done using an in-text citation, a footnote or an endnote Example: ‘the stable world of the nineteenth century was going down in chaos’ (Bryant,1983) Short quotation (less than four lines) If you quote from an author directly you should place the quotation in quotation marks and identify the source Long quotation (more than four lines) Set the quotation off from your text by indenting and then identify the source
13. How should in direct quotes, paraphrasing be referenced using In-text citation? When you are using another persons ideas but not quoting directly, you must acknowledge the source. In the Harvard system, the source can be identified by placing the author’s name and the year of publication in brackets before or after referring to it
