Academic Integrity is a set values you have during your academic
career. It is when you are honest about your work. You don’t cheat off others
and claim others work as your own. It is
doing what is right even when you have the opportunity to cheat and get away
with it. Most of the student’s definitions of academic integrity were similar.
They all had something to do with the values you hold in the classroom.
Plagiarism is when you take someone else’s work and claim it
as your own. Most of us have a pretty good idea on what plagiarism is but I
think the video really put into perspective the different forms of plagiarism.
Even If you take an idea from someone else and rewrite it as your own that is
still considered plagiarism.
In middle school, I think we have unknowingly plagiarized
whether we copy and pasted a work and changed the sentences and rearranged the
words or just restating an idea you found from a book or website. The video on
plagiarism has taught me to be more aware and cautious of my writing. To think
of how I came about the information I am putting in my paper instead of just writing
anything I find.
