New video about plagiarism
This video, as well as two others, were created to address intellectual property issues in a student-centered way.
Problems with Plagiarism
In this video, a student named Jason is reading over a draft of a paper he is writing. He is visited by a future version of himself, who recognizes part of the paper as being directly copied from another student’s project. Since Jason has not attributed those ideas to their source, he is guilty of plagiarism. To fix the problem, Jason revises his paper to make it obvious where he got the ideas.
This video is part of joint effort between the College of Communications, Information Technology Services, Schreyer Honors College, Student Affairs, and University Libraries. This video, as well as two others, were created to address intellectual property issues in a student-centered way. The videos present some realistic alternatives that will encourage students to act in a responsible manner.
