3 Types of Plagiarism
2
3 is the Magic Number

• Direct plagiarism
• Paraphrase plagiarism
• Patchwork plagiarism

3
Direct Plagiarism

• Taking the exact words from a source and
  presenting them as your own
• Cut and paste

4
Direct plagiarism example

• Okay, we dont really need an example here. I
  think this is pretty obvious.

5
Paraphrase Plagiarism

• When a writer takes the ideas of another writer
  in nearly the exact words as the original.
• This can happen with careless paraphrasing on
  your note cards.

  draw Moran and his gang to the warehouse under
  the feeling that they would be receiving a
  shipment of smuggled whiskey for a price that
  proved too good to be true (Brown 1).

How to fix?

• Yes, it is cited, but here the writer is passing
  it off as his own thoughts.
• Fix 1 Quote word for word and actually put
  quotation marks around the quote.
• Fix 2 Put the ideas down in your own words
  instead of switching two or three words.
• Read the source, put it down and write a note
  card without looking back at the source.

10
Patchwork plagiarism

• When a writer takes the ideas of another writer
  and patches them together as his or her own.
• Basically, switching the order from the research
  into your own essay.

Im nervous, what can I do?

• Remember, I am here to help you learn. Always
  ask if you are not sure. I will not take points
  off, look down upon you, have you arrested, etc.
  if you accidentally plagiarize before the final
  draft.
• Be careful and patient with you citations.
• Make your note cards work for you. Scribbling to
  get homework points will hurt you in the long
  run.
