ACTS OF PLAGIARISM

THE ORIGINAL SOURCECORRECTLY AND PROPERLY
(EXAMPLES : PUT PROPER QUOTATION MARKS FOR DIRECT SPEECHES, USE FOOTNOTES, MAKE REFERENCES ETC.)

STUDENT
Use proper quotation marks / citation
Acknowledge and give credit to the author appropriately
Take careful notes where you get your information from
Never copy from others. Develop the habit of writing in your own words with your own thoughts. Be original.
Inculcate good values in you. Never claim credit when it’s not yours. Be honest!
Check your work before submitting
Ask your lecturers when you have questions regarding plagiarism. They are the best people to help.
Learn to differentiate original ideas from researched information
Ensure that your submission is free from plagiarism. Otherwise you may be penalised.
LECTURER Provide clear definition of plagiarism
Educate students on what constitutes plagiarism
Inform students that there are now devices that can detect plagiarism ( eg. Turnitin.com)
Design assignments, projects and evaluation situations that discourage or inhibit plagiarism. You may ask the students to : (a) keep you updated with the progress and process of their work. Ask for an outline and check their drafts (b) ask them for the sources they use and compare their work with these sources (c) create assignments that demand students to provide self analysis, discussion, and primary source of information
Always remind students of the consequences / penalties of committing plagiarism
LECTURERS ARE THE KEY PERSONS WHO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO
LESSEN IF NOT ELIMINATE PLAGIARISM.
WHY WE SHOULD AVOID ITbecause it is wrong
MORALLY and LEGALLY......
...... and has become A GLOBAL CANCER
And the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w( peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said :
“..... lying leads to immorality and immorality leads to
Hellfire. A man will keep telling lies and striving to tell lies until
he is recorded with Allah s.w.t as a liar...
Narrated by al-Bukhari, 5629, Muslim, 4719
“ He who cheats us does not belong to us.” Anyone who cheats really commits a sin and he who helps him cheating also shares in the blame.

succeed in imitation”Herman Melville

WHAT IF STUDENTS GET GOOD GRADES
WITH PLAGIARISED WORK...? and graduate….
and go scot free…….
IN UiTM, ASSIGNMENTS ARE CENTRAL/PARAMOUNT IN MEASURING STUDENTS’
ACHIEVEMENTS
THE CONSEQUENCES
Education is built on trust; BUT IF TRUST IS BROKEN,
the entire field faces a credibility crisis.
The bottomline :1. GIVE CREDIT WHEN CREDIT IS DUE
2. PRODUCE AN ORIGINAL WORK Be proud of being authentic!
THE PENALTIES / CONSEQUENCES
UiTM takes serious view of plagiarism.
In 2010, 3 students were found guilty of
plagiarism. One student was expelled
and two were suspended for a
semester. (IPSIS, UiTM)

Any one of these penalties greatly affects a student’s future. He loses his trust and credibility, not only among teachers and instructors but also
among his fellow students.
