plagiarism & academic dishonesty
plagiarism quiz
1、tom finds an article written in chinese that fits his topic well, then he translates it to english and turns it in to his american teacher without citing the chinese author. his teacher does not speak chinese and does not know it’s a translated essay, and thus gives him an “a” for that essay. this is not plagiarism.
2、tom copied a paragraph from an essay he wrote in a previous semester into another essay. thinking he wrote that paragraph, tom didn’t cite himself. this is plagiarism.
3、when writing about the belt and road initiative, tom searches information from wikipedia and uses that information in his paper without citing wikipedia. this is plagiarism.
4、tom copies a paragraph from a book into his essay. he cites the book, but doesn’t use quotation marks for the paragraph. this is not plagiarism.
5、when writing an argument, tom could not find a source that supports his argument, so he made one up in his essay. this is not plagiarism.
