XII. PLAGIARISM PLAGIARISM Plagiarism is the presentation of someone else s words or ideas as one s own (See APA Publication Manual, 6 th ed., pp.15-16). One of the most common forms of plagiarism is the paraphrasing of several phrases, sentences of ideas in a paragraph with only one citation at the end of the paragraph, resulting in confusion between the cited content and the researcher s own words or ideas. Another common form is the practice of substituting words or phrases while retaining the original author s for and structure. Plagiarism in any form is one of the most egregious violations of professional ethics an author can commit. Submission of plagiarized material, even by accident or ignorance, is a severe infraction of the professional ethical code and can result in expulsion from the program. To avoid plagiarism: Cite sources within the text for all phrases or ideas that are quoted or paraphrased. Cite sources within the text in the format delineated in the APA Manual, pp. 174-179. CERTIFICATION OF AUTHORSHIP. I certify that I am the author of this paper titled and that any assistance I received in its preparation is fully acknowledged and disclosed in the paper. I have also cited any sources from which I used data, ideas, or words, either quoted directly or paraphrased. I also certify that this paper was prepared by me specifically for this course. I understand that falsification of information will affect my status as a graduate student. Student s Signature Date (This statement must be included with all written assignments.) XIII. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR EDUCATION STUDENTS : Children are not to be brought to class. Cell phones are to be silenced at all times while classes are in session so as not to interrupt the flow of instruction and leaning. Student who violate this policy may be asked to leave. We apologize for an inconvenience this may cause but we must respect the rights of all our students to concentrate uninterrupted. Teacher candidates must dress professionally for school events. XIV.
