Academic Accountability Define academic voice and plagiarism.
Academic voice is a form of communication that uses a formal tone with clarity, professionalism, and straightforwardness. At its core are declarative statements, avoidance of causal language, and authoritative register (Dirgeyasa & Hum, 2017).
Plagiarism is the representation of another author’s work or ideas as own and without full acknowledgment.
Apply your knowledge of academic voice and plagiarism to the rewritten passage, locating and identifying errors.
“The correlational method can be very useful, but it must be used with caution.” - (this direct quote is done well, but there is no acknowledged through in-text citation, thus plagiarism). If knowledge of one variable (height) helps predict another (weight), does that mean that one causes the other? Not necessarily. It is possible that the primary variable caused the secondary, or that the secondary variable caused the primary, or that some additional variable caused both variables. We cannot understand what chance…...

Original research comes with the need to properly synthesize and paraphrase. There is often the need to present information, but in a way, that shows the reader the researcher understood the information collected. This means putting into ones own words what the literature stated. For example, if a research article discusses smartphone use affecting sleep in humans, and there is a long passage one would like to use, one can paraphrase that passage and put at the end, the last names of the writers of the article and date the article was created. This helps readers see that the article inspired this portion of an essay. Synthesizing the research means allowing the research collected to inspire one to take a new direction and come up with ones own hypotheses and conclusions. Going back to the smartphone example, the research could reveal a gap in research concerning blue light emission and REM…...

scored worse than me on this quiz, I still did not attain the sort of results that I would have liked. Thus, there is certainly room for me to improve in my overall knowledge of the American Psychological Association and its stylistic guidelines for communicating with others. One of the most significant points of insight for me after taking this quiz is that I can certainly improve my knowledge of the citation style for this writing system. There are so many different sources that one can utilize while writing research papers. Quite simply, I am not as fluent in the style required to cite these different sources as I could be. Another insight that I gained from this quiz is that there is actually an extremely fine distinction between plagiarizing and citing sources.

Preventing Plagiarism: A Detailed Action Plan
During the assignment writing process, the relevance of other people's ideas, views as well as opinions cannot be overstated. To come up with a concise and balanced research piece, one may be required to draw on the ideas of others from time to time. In this text, I come up with a plan detailing how I will prevent plagiarism in the rest of my program. More specifically, I highlight personal habits, resources as well as methods I will utilize to avoid plagiarism during the assignment writing process.

The most helpful resources that could help prevent plagiarism that were not mentioned might be explicit examples of actual student papers that demonstrate each one of the different forms of academic plagiarism. There is probably no need to provide samples of deliberate plagiarism, simply because everybody knows what it means to copy and paste text without any acknowledgment. However, other forms of plagiarism could easily happen without the student intending to violate the school's academic policy.

For example, it might not be clear from the materials provided exactly how to properly reference source material within a long paragraph containing several different points. Are we supposed to just use one citation at the end of the paragraph or a citation after every sentence in that paragraph? It might be very difficult…...

This source is a trade book authored by a professor from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia and a professor of Education from the University of Massachusetts in Boston. The book was based largely on the history of education reform in the U.S. In the 1960 through the early 1980s and outlined basic principles and rules that the authors present as fundamental keys to effective academic instruction in higher education. Those principles and rules emphasize direct contact between professors and their students, student collaboration instead of solitary work, active learning instead of passive learning, prompt feedback from instructors, time on task, the clear communication of expectations in advance, and both recognition and exploitation of the many different ways that different people learn best.

Avoiding Plagiarism
As an educational problem, plagiarism most likely dates back to the beginning. Plagiarism involves the failure to attribute one's sources for research. At best, this behavior indicates careless research. At its worst, plagiarism is nothing less than the theft of ideas.

This paper focuses on student plagiarism, which is becoming increasingly rampant in universities. It first defines different forms of plagiarism, and how these forms vary by degrees. The paper then looks at the different reasons why students resort to plagiarism. It then discusses proper citation and how students could avoid committing plagiarism in the first place. In the conclusion, this paper argues that given its capacity for individual and social harm, universities and colleges should take stronger stands in curbing this behavior in school.

Citing Quotes without Acknowledging them as Quotes

This form of plagiarism consists of citing the material as the ideas of another but neglecting to indicate that the cited material is actually quoted verbatim (iParadigm, 2010). A perfect example would be the following citation of the iParadigm material on this topic:

The writer properly cites a source, but neglects to put in quotation marks text that has been copied word-for-word, or close to it. Although attributing the basic ideas to the source, the writer is falsely claiming original presentation and interpretation of the information (iParadigm, 2010).

Unacknowledged eliance and Over-reliance on Sourced Material

Unacknowledged reliance on sourced material would be citing only the first paragraph of this section, "Examples of Proper and Improper Citation" as being derived from iParadigm without any subsequent citation for the rest of the section when those ideas are also derived from the same source. Finally, simple over-reliance on source material…...

Peer Posting About Plagiarism: Reaction
In the post regarding plagiarism, my peer provides insight into the dangers of plagiarism within an academic and professional setting. My peer successfully explains what plagiarism is, how it can be avoided, and the repercussions thereof. However, upon closer examination of the post, there are several issues that need to be addressed in order to make the arguments stronger and more comprehensible.

In the post, plagiarism is clearly defined and an explanation is given as to why it is important to cite resources. Additionally, it is argued that failure to cite and reference sources can lead to dissertation failure. The author of this post also provides a solution to ensure plagiarism beyond proper citations. This solution is to compare any work a student writes with previously published materials by running the paper through Turnitin, plagiarizing-detecting software. Furthermore, the author argues that he or she plans to use…...

Avoiding Plagiarism and Self-Plagiarism in Academic Writing
Plagiarism can be defined as "copying another's work or borrowing someone else's original ideas" without properly citing or crediting the source from which the information was sourced (What is Plagiarism?, n.d.). However, there are certain things an individual may do to prevent plagiarism and ensure that he or she is not accused of academic or intellectual dishonesty.

In order to prevent plagiarism, one must first be able to recognize and be able to detect plagiarized material. The below passage is demonstrative of plagiarized work and does not properly cite the source material it references.

He offers what he believes is perhaps a more comprehensive method: collaborating (42). Clabaugh suggests assigning more than one student to a research assignment, and thereby creating a shared result of success, or, in the case of plagiarism, a shared responsibility and shared consequence (42). This is one suggestion, but it also deprives the student of individual success and credit. Also, Clabaugh's contention that electronic means of identifying plagiarism as being largely unsuccessful, would perhaps be disputed by the many universities and colleges and even professors who require students to submit their papers to those entities for electronic review before submitting the paper. The hope is that identifying plagiarism before the work is turned in to the professor would serve as a deterrent for that assignment, and for others if plagiarism is discovered.
Many colleges and universities also require that students submit writing samples, and those samples serve to demonstrate…...

In return, it would hurt their creditability as well as the company's. If the creditability is hindered, it could mean loss in profits and eventually could cause the company to go out of business. Therefore, plagiarism is an unacceptable business practice.
Theft of intellectual property

Due to the unethical practices of plagiarism, it is considered as theft of intellectual property, which is a valid statement. Instead of stealing of someone's car or other material things, it is stealing their ideas and thoughts to claim ownership, which is still wrong because they belong to other people even though it is not a physical substance or object. Plagiarism should be a crime when it is completely intentional because theft is illegal. Clearly, this is theft of intellectual property and should not be practiced by any student or professional who is researching to write.

Furthermore, most academic institutions of higher learning maintain honor codes that must be upheld by all students as a condition of their matriculation at the institution.

Academic honor codes are formal representations of the student's acceptance of the terms established by the institution governing all elements of academic and social conduct associated with the pursuit of the degrees awarded by the institution. Therefore, by definition, every form of academic dishonesty (including but not limited to plagiarism) is necessarily a fundamental violation of the institution's honor code.

Plagiarism is Unfair to Honest Students:

Generally, the most common grading scheme used by college-level instructors incorporates some form of the bell curve, according to which the relative performance of all students within a given course is factored into the grading scale used to establish the specific grades corresponding to performance. The bell curve allows instructors to adjust grading to reflect the appropriateness of the difficulty of…...

Ambrose does not use his own words and his own voice in these instances, for the writing still parallels too closely that of the original. In some cases, Ambrose's wording is identical. It is an egregious offence for a writer of Ambrose's caliber and reputation. It is difficult to imagine that Ambrose did not understand what he was doing or comprehend the serious nature of his actions.
According to an article in The Weekly Standard, Childers was gracious about Ambrose's copy-catting, remarking only that he was "disappointed" (Barnes, 2002). There were no comments from Ambrose reported, only a bit of side-stepping from his publisher, who praised Ambrose's work and insisted that all resources were appropriately documented. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Ambrose clearly plagiarized the work of Thomas Childers and, in so doing, forever tarnished his reputation as one of the nation's premier historians and writers.

The CBS Morning News Plagiarism story was shocking to watch, mainly because reputable professionals have stolen other people’s work and passed it off as their own for many years. Both the novelist and the journalist interviewed for the piece say that their plagiarism started small and was a “slow progression,” as one put it, or as the journalist said, a “slippery slope.” The piece briefly talked about the ways professors are trying to prevent plagiarism, such as by using TurnItIn.com. I totally understand why plagiarism is wrong. What I learned from the video is that it is more common than we believed. However, I do think that it is different to plagiarize music because that type of plagiarism is often unconscious.
