3. What is Plagiarism? Using someone else's ideas without giving them credit Phrasing and representing someone else’s ideas as your own Either on purpose or through carelessness

6. What Sources Should Be Credited? Published writers or critics of books, magazine or encyclopedia articles or journals Electronic resources such as material on the World Wide Web and Internet Another student at SRJC or elsewhere

7. To Avoid Plagiarism: Use your own thoughts and ideas and your own words. Credit the source of quotes, distinctive information and adapted material.

8. When to Quote “Quotable” language (dangerous) Support for your analysis Historical witness Controversial statement Expert testimony/declaration

9. Guidelines for Quotations Use exact wording (… for words removed and [] for words or letters added) Don’t overuse quotations Don’t quote the same source again and again

10. Paraphrasing To clarify To simplify To emphasize To unify the language of your paper (dangerous)

11. Someone Else’s Ideas in Your Own Words: An Example Music paper: composer Franz Liszt Read several sources that state he was a child protégé. Also read how his father encouraged him from an early age from one source.

12. In Alan Walker's book Franz Liszt: The Virtuoso Years (Ithaca: 1983) Father encouraged Franz Liszt to play the piano from memory at age six. He also learned to sight read music. He was encouraged to improvise on the piano.

13. Your Paper Will Note That Liszt was a probably the most gifted child protégé at his time (stated in your words). This is okay since it was reported in several sources; list those sources in your bibliography

14. Your Paper Will Also Note That Mr. Liszt encouraged his son to sight read and improvise at age 6. Need to cite if written as follows: –Franz Liszt's father encouraged him as early as age six to practice skills which later served him as an internationally recognized prodigy (Walker 59). –Alan Walker notes that, under the tutelage of his father, Franz Liszt began work in earnest on his piano playing at the age of six (59).
