- plagiarism: when you use someone else’s words as your own and don’t give that person credit
- (If you are caught plagiarizing at a university, they may kick you out of school.)
- fair use: It is legal and ethical to use quotations in your own work, as long as they aren’t too long and you are clear about where you got that information
- Officially, it’s okay to use short excerpts to criticize or review something, to illustrate or analyze a point, to summarize it, or to make a parody.
- Some professors might use http://turnitin.com/ to automatically check for things like plagiarism.

- Look at the three situations described on p. 152. Do you think these are plagiarism?
- 1 yes - even if you change the words a little, you’re still using someone else’s ideas (all ten of them) as your own, without giving credit
- 2 yes - with or without giving credit to the author, you cannot reproduce a full article in your own paper
- 3 yes, maybe - “self-plagiarism” is often considered unethical, but may not be as harshly punished as plagiarizing from another source (you could check with a professor at the beginning of a course to see if this is a problem)
