\u201cA form of academic dishonesty and intellectual theft that violates long-held and widely recognized principles of academic integrity including, but not limited to, the appropriation, buying, receiving as a gift, or obtaining by any means another\u2019s work and the submission of said work as one\u2019s own academic work offered for credit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[vc_column_text]<\/p>\nIntentional Plagiarism<\/h4>\n
The deliberate act of representing the words, ideas, or data of another as one\u2019s own without providing proper attribution
\nto the author through quotation, reference, or footnote. <\/span>(UTSA Student Code of Conduct, Section 203)<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]
<\/i><\/i><\/div><\/div>Cut and Paste<\/h3>
Occurs when a student uses another author\u2019s work (in its entirety or just a few words) and submits it as if those words were original material. The amount of work the student cuts and pastes does not matter.\u00a0 It is still intentional plagiarism.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/div><\/div>APPROPRIATING IDEAS OR CONCEPTS<\/h3>
Occurs when a student paraphrases another author\u2019s words, rearranges them, and then submits the reworded text as if it were original material.<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/div><\/div>LACK OF DOCUMENTATION<\/h3>
Occurs when a student uses another author\u2019s words, places them in quotes, but fails to provide proper documentation.<\/p>\n

[vc_column_text]<\/p>\nInadvertent Plagiarism<\/h4>\n
Inadvertent Plagiarism<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>involves the inappropriate, but not deliberate use of another\u2019s words, ideas, or data without appropriate attribution, failure to follow established rules for documenting sources or from being insufficiently careful in research and writing. (UTSA Student Code of Conduct, section 203)<\/span><\/p>\n
In many cases, unintentional plagiarism transpires when the author summarizes and\/or paraphrases the source material inappropriately, documents a source incorrectly, or omits attribution entirely. Inadvertent plagiarism is by far the most common form of plagiarism, and instructors deal with cases of inadvertent plagiarism differently. Depending on the variables of the case and the severity of the violation, penalties for unintentional plagiarism may vary.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/div><\/div>MISSING OR INCORRECT DOCUMENTATION<\/h3>

<\/i><\/i><\/div><\/div>UNDOCUMENTED ILLUSTRATIONS OR CHARTS<\/h3>
Occurs when a student copies a picture, graph, or illustration, pastes it into his or her work, but fails to provide documentation.\u00a0 Since the author omitted documentation, a reader might think the author created the objects, which is why it\u2019s important to cite visuals created by another author.<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/div><\/div>SUBMITTING WORK WITHOUT CITING REFERENCES<\/h3>
\n\nOccurs when a student provides in-text documentation but fails to attach a Works Cited or References page to the document.

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
\n\n\n\nWhen an instructor suspects a student of academic dishonesty, he or she will investigate the case to determine if a violation has occurred. If the instructor determines a violation has occurred, he or she will complete a faculty disposition of Scholastic Dishonesty form and meet with the alleged plagiarist. The student has the right to accept the punishment the instructor recommends or have Judicial Affairs investigate the case and potentially assign a penalty. Depending on the severity of the case, the punishment ranges from receiving reduced or no credit for an assignment or a course all the way up to expulsion from the university and potentially \u201crevocation of degree, denial of degree, and\/or withdrawal of diploma\u201d (UTSA Student Code of Conduct, Section 301).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
