Pre-Admissions Nursing Orientation - Fall 2019

Student Honor Code
• Deliberate plagiarism: (cont’d)
• Summarizing or paraphrasing someone else’s ideas without acknowledging
your debt in a source citation.
• Handing in as your own work a paper you have bought, had a friend write or
copied from another student.
• Self-plagiarism: Presenting one’s own previously published work as though it
were new.
• Accidental plagiarism:
• Forgetting to place quotation marks around another writer’s words
• Omitting a source citation for another’s ideas because you are unaware of the
need to acknowledge the idea
• Carelessly copying a source when you mean to paraphrase (Aaron, 1995).
Plagiarism can involve incidents as blatant as downloading a paper in whole or in part off
the Internet, turning in a paper a friend wrote or having someone else edit and revise your
paper, and as incidental as forgetting quotation marks around word or phrases copied
from a source.
