Exercises for Practice
Below are some situations in which writers need to decide whether or not they are running the risk of plagiarizing. In the Y/N column, indicate if you would need to document (Yes), or if it is not necessary to provide quotation marks or a citation (No). If you do need to give the source credit in some way, explain how you would handle it. If not, explain why.
Situation | Y/N | If yes, what do you do? If no, why? |
1. You are writing new insights about your own experiences. | No | Because are my own ideas in my own experiences. |
2. You are using an editorial from your school's newspaper with which you disagree. | Yes | Because although I don’t like the editorial I need to cite because it is doesn’t my own words, ideas or experiences. |
3. You use some information from a source without ever quoting it directly. | ||
4. You have no other way of expressing the exact meaning of a text without using the original source verbatim. | Yes | Because I’m going to use some source that says what I mean. |
5. You mention that many people in your discipline belong to a certain organization. | ||
6. You want to begin your paper with a story that one of your classmates told about her experiences in Bosnia. | ||
7. The quote you want to use is too long, so you leave out a couple of phrases. | ||
8. You really like the particular phrase somebody else made up, so you use it. | Yes | Because that phrase I didn’t say, so I need to cite or give credit to the person who did. |
