     If you are unsure about doing the Assignment – discuss in the ‘Assignment
    Forum’.
     ‘DO NOT COPY AND PASTE’ OR COPY FROM YOUR COURSEMATES.

    ACADEMIC WRITING

    NOTE the following:

    a) Plagiarism

    i) What is Plagiarism?
    Any written assignment (essays, project, take-home exams, etc) submitted by
    a student must not be deceptive regarding the abilities, knowledge, or amount
    of work contributed by the student. There are many ways that this rule can be
    violated. Among them are:

    o Paraphrases: The student paraphrases a closely reasoned argument


    of an author without acknowledging that he or she has done so.
    (Clearly, all our knowledge is derived from somewhere, but detailed
    arguments from clearly identifiable sources must be acknowledged.)

    o Outright plagiarism: Large sections of the paper are simply copied


    from other sources, and are not acknowledged as quotations.

    o Other sources: often include essays written by other students or sold


    by unscrupulous organizations. Quoting from such papers is perfectly
    legitimate if quotation marks are used and the source is cited.

    o Works by others: Taking credit deliberately or not deliberately for


    works produced by another without giving proper acknowledgement.
    Works includes photographs, charts, graphs, drawings, statistics,
    video-clips, audio-clips, verbal exchanges such as interviews or lec-
    tures, performances on television and texts printed on the web.

    o The student submits the same essay to two or more courses.

    ii) How can I avoid Plagiarism?


    o Insert quotation marks around ‘copy and paste’ clause, phrase, sen-
    tence, paragraph and cite the original source

    o Paraphrase clause, phrase, sentence or paragraph in your own words


    and cite your source

    MAY 2024 SEMESTER


    2

    o Adhere to the APA (American Psychological Association) stylistic


    format, whichever applicable, when citing a source and when writing
    out the bibliography or reference page
    o Attempt to write independently without being overly dependent of in-
    formation from another’s original works

    o Educate yourself on what may be considered as common knowledge


    (no copyright necessary), public domain (copyright has expired or not
    protected under copyright law), or copyright (legally protected).

    iii) Turnitin Plagiarism Checker

    An Originality Report is an indication of similarities between a piece of work


    submitted by a student and a database of previously submitted work,
    websites and other sources. If a match between a submitted piece of work
    and an existing work is found, Turnitin will highlight the matching text and
    provide a summary on the Originality Report.

    According to AeU University policy, the percentage of originality report must


    not exceed 20%. Please revise your assignment/ project paper/ dissertation
    or thesis if more than 20%.

    Please refer to the guide which is available on [MyPLS > Plagiarism


    Checker > Student Guide].

    b) Documenting Sources

    Whenever you quote, paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to the work of


    another, you are required to cite its source parenthetical documentation. Offered here
    are some of the most commonly cited forms of material.

    Direct
    Simply having a thinking skill is no assurance that children will
    use it. In order for such skills to become part of day-to-day
    behaviour, they must be cultivated in an environment that value
    and sustains them. “Just as children’s musical skills will likely
    lay fallow in an environment that doesn’t encourage music,
    learner’s thinking skills tend to languish in a culture that doesn’t
    encourage thinking” (Tishman, Perkins and Jay, 1995, p.5)

    Indirect
    According to Wurman (1988), the new disease of the 21 st
    century will be information anxiety, which has been defined as
    the ever-widening gap between what one understands and
    what one thinks one should understand.

    c) Referencing

    All sources that you cite in your paper should be listed in the Reference section at the
    end of your paper. Here’s how you should do your Reference.
