  3. plagiarism university calendar description Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the act of presenting the ideas or works of another as one's own. This applies to all material such as theses, essays, laboratory reports, work term reports, design projects, seminar presentations, statistical data, computer programs, and research results. The properly acknowledged use of sources is an accepted and important part of scholarship. Use of such material without acknowledgment, however, is contrary to accepted norms of academic behaviour.

  7. the act of presenting the ideas or works of another as one's own • Reproducing information that you read in an article, textbook, website, etc., but not acknowledging the source. • Quoting but failing to properly punctuate and cite sources. • Paraphrasing information and failing to cite sources. • Cutting and pasting large excerpts, small excerpts, even unique phrases and words and not acknowledging the source. • Submitting work that you purchased from another writer.

  8. Best practices… Get as much direction as possible for each assignment: How long should it be? Is research involved? How many sources? What style of documentation? Observe how scholars in your field use sources, and imitate their practices. When in doubt, cite. Use writing resources (like the Learning Centre) to have an expert review your writing with you.

  9. Acknowledging Your Sources • There is a well established literature within theoretical economics of consumption as a means to signal status, first described by Veblen (1899) and formalized in work by Basu (1989), and more recently by Bagwell and Bernheim (1996). • In an essay on urban legends, Jan Harold Brunvand notes that "some individuals make a point of learning every recent rumor or tale . . . and in a short time a lively exchange of details occurs" (78).
