Which brings us to the topic of Plagiarism . . .
7
Plagiarism is the act of taking someone elses
work and presenting it as your own.
Plagiarism is stealing
Plagiarism is lying
Plagiarism is cheating
Plagiarism is dishonest
Plagiarism comes with a set of consequences
8
If that is truly the case and direct quotes,
footnotes and citations are used correctly, then
the researcher is on solid ground.
9
But, listen to a reading of the case of Blair
Hornstine

Many researches say they paraphrased the work
of another, but what they have really done is
plagiarized. Are you clear about how to create
a document from an original source without taking
what is not legally yours?

The passage on the left was written by
David Noonan. The passage on the right was
turned in by a student writer. We call it
word-for word plagiarism.

• After the scalp and the skull, the next
  layer protecting the brain is the dura. A thin,
  tough, leathery membrane that encases the brain,
  the dura (derived from the Latin for hard) is
  dark pink, almost red. It is rich with blood
  vessels and nerves (when you have a headache,
  its the dura that aches), and now it can be seen
  stretching across the expanse of the opening
  pulsing lightly. The outline of the cerebellum
  bulging against the dura is clear. With a crease
  in the middle, the dura-sheathed cerebellum looks
  oddly like a tiny pair of buttocks.

• First is the scalp and the skull, and
  then there is the next layer protecting the brain
  called the dura. This thin, tough, but leathery
  membrane wraps around the brain. The dura (which
  means hard in Latin) is dark pink, nearly red.
  It is also rich with blood vessels and nerves.
  When you have a headache, its the dura doing the
  aching. The dura can be seen stretching across
  the expanse of the opening beating lightly. The
  outline of the cerebellum ballooning against the
  dura is clear. The dura wraps around the
  cerebellum and has a crease in the middle. It
  looks, oddly, like a butt.

The passage on the left was written by David
Noonan. The passage on the right was turned in
by another student writer. We call this
patchwork plagiarism. Keep in mind, it is a
plagiarized work.

• After the scalp and the skull, the next
  layer protecting the brain is the dura. A thin,
  tough, leathery membrane that encases the brain,
  the dura (derived from the Latin for hard) is
  dark pink, almost red. It is rich with blood
  vessels and nerves (when you have a headache,
  its the dura that aches), and now it can be seen
  stretching across the expanse of the opening
  pulsing lightly. The outline of the cerebellum
  bulging against the dura is clear. With a crease
  in the middle, the dura-sheathed cerebellum looks
  oddly like a tiny pair of buttocks.

• Noonan (1997) explains that the brain
  is made up of several layers. The outer layer is
  known as the scalp, next is the skull, and then
  there is a casing of the brain called the dura.
  The dura is a thin, tough, leathery membrane with
  a tough, ruddy texture. In fact, dura is derived
  from the Latin word meaning hard. The dura is a
  pinkish-red color which is probably due to the
  fact it is rich with blood vessels and nerves.
  (It is the nerves in the dura that ache when a
  person suffers with a headache). As it stretches
  across the space of the opening, it throbs
  accentuating the outline of the bulging
  cerebellum. The fold in the middle of the
  dura-sheathed cerebellum is similar in looks to a
  babys bottom.

The passage on the left was written by David
Noonan. The passage on the right was turned in
by another student writer. This is acceptable as
long as there is a Works Cited page.

  oddly like a tiny pair of buttocks.

• In his profile of brain surgeons
  performing a complicated surgery, Noonan (1997)
  notes the resemblance of the cerebellum to a tiny
  buttock. This appearance is due to the fact that
  the cerebellum bulges inside a thin membrane
  (called the dura) which has a seam running down
  the middle. The humor in the comparison belies
  the seriousness of the membranes function. The
  dura is the part of the brain where headaches
  occur although its function is to protect the
  brain. The membrane is thin, but tough. In
  fact, the word dura comes from the Latin meaning
  hard (Page 2). It is resilient to the rhythmic
  pulse of the cerebellum ballooning through the
  opening. (Noonan 446)

Researching a topic involves looking at the ideas
of another who has already studied a
subject/issue. A researcher can only use
anothers ideas to create a unique interpretation
of the information or make a contribution to the
subject/issue based on the information found if
they credit their source
That is called learning.
15
So how do you avoid Plagiarism? One way is by
using MLA - 3 File Organization
File 1 Your Original Ideas
File 2 Summaries of others ideas- notes you
have taken
File 3 Direct Quotes
16
Read Contemplate Write Read the passages you
are researching enough times so you really
understand the information. Think about it and
put it in your words . . .the way you would
explain it to a friend. Write it down.
17
Abbreviate your Notes Take notes using key/words
ideas and using ordinary language
18
Change Structure Order Begin putting
information into Note form by starting at
different points in the passage from which you
are reading. This will help change the order of
information (somewhat). Also look at how
language/sentences are structured. Use words
that are part of your vocabulary.
19
Use Quotation Marks Sometimes you need to take a
phrase/sentence/passage someone else has written,
word for word. When you are presented with this
situation, use quotation marks and write a
citation. When you write your paper, you can
make a decision as to whether or not you need to
use those quotes to make your paper more clear.
You have to cite more than words. You have to
cite pictures, graphs, charts, (anything) that is
not your original work. Keep in mind, stringing
a bunch of quotes together is not writing and it
is not learning.
20
Citing Your Sources is Necessary
WhenYou use someone else's words/ideas (no
matter where they came from).When quoting a
persons exact words or the words put together
that make up THEIR ideaWhen using pictures,
charts, graphs assembled/created by another
That means When you summarize a passage (or
condense/shorten something using your own words)
Cite it When you paraphrase a passage (or
restate something in your own words but more
detailed than a summary) Cite it Use anothers
exact words Cite it

A parenthetical documentation is the simplest way
to cite a source. What that means is RIGHT NEXT
to the information you put in your paper, you
place the authors last name and the page(s) in
parenthesis.
Page 91 of Barbara Francis book
Book by Barbara Francis
Student paper with a parenthetical citation. A
full bibliography of the book would appear on
the Works Cited page
23
If the writer wishes to cite another passage from
the same work s/he has already cited, then only
the page number is needed in the parenthetical
citation.
The 2 slides that follow this ones are taken from
the Internet. The site is called the Research
Guide for Students. http//www.aresearchguide.com/
It does a good job of explaining the process.

The Many Faces of Tabu The World Book
Encyclopedia defines Taboo as "an action, object,
person, or place forbidden by law or culture"
(Dundes).            As pointed out in the
Occultopedia, another word for taboo is "tabu" a
Polynesian word meaning that which is banned. The
Occultopedia also points out that taboo is found
among many other cultures including the ancient
Egyptians, Jews and others ("Taboo").            
Mary Douglas has analyzed the many facets and
interpretations of taboos across various
cultures. In her view, taboos could be considered
a kind of "brain-washing" (2549) as they are
transmitted to individuals along with an entire
cultural system made up of a pattern of values
and norms.             In reference to Freak
Shows at circuses, an interesting observation is
made that people who possess uncommon features
and who willingly go out in public to display
such oddities to onlookers are acting as
"modern-day taboo breakers" by crossing the
"final boundary between societal acceptance and
ostracism." (Rothenberg).             In
traditional British East Africa, between the time
of puberty and marriage, a young Akamba girl must
maintain an avoidance relationship with her own
father (Freud 17).            Looking at taboo
in a modern society, Marvin Harris gives an
interesting example of the application of
cultural materialism to the Hindu taboo against
eating beef (qtd. in McGrath).

When you connect to your topic in an emotional,
mental, and thoughtful way, you are RELATING.
You are involved. You are taking ownership of
your learning.
29
When you take that information and apply meaning
to your life, your goals, and your future you are
making it RELEVANT. You have made a decision
that it matters to you and it will help you grow.
30
When you pursue information for the sure joy of
it. . . Because it matters. . . Because its
tough, but you are tougher. . . Because it will
make you smarter and you will improve That is
RIGOR!!!

We all learn from trial and error, exploration
and observing (especially others). Sometimes it
is easy. Sometimes it is exceedingly hard. But
those who endeavor to learn have the greatest
chance . . .
