Ethics in writing, psychology homework help
Your assignment this week involves exploring this area of ethics and will include three parts:
- Part One: Discuss why you think plagiarism is so problematic in higher education today. Have you seen examples of it? What do you think you can personally do to help develop your own academic voice? Does it stir up any emotions when you think others are “getting away with it”?
- Part Two: Write a one- to two-paragraph summary about what you have learned this week. Within this writing exercise, demonstrate three levels of preventing plagiarism within your own writing, and highlight each example in a differing colored font as noted below:
- (red font) Paraphrased information using a citation. (Author, Year)
- (green font) One sentence quote from the text that helps support your summary. Be sure to include the exact page the quote is found in your citations. (Author, Year, p. X)
- (blue font) Free-write. Write something entirely based on what you remember from your reading. This should still be cited, but is all in your own words. (Author, Year).
- Need assistance with paraphrasing? Examples on how to paraphrase.
- Not quite clear what you do here? View this worked example for assistance.
- Part Three: Reflect on how difficult you think Part Two was. Do you have any bad habits you need to break? How much more difficult would it be to avoid this situation when using websites to assist you in research? What strategies could you use here to help you have more success and prevent accidental mistakes?
This exercise should be a minimum of three to four pages and should adequately discuss all questions posed, demonstrate maturating self-awareness. Your text is the only required source, but additional sources are encouraged
