Introduction
This guide explains the basis on which you will be assessed in this
course during the semester. It contains details of the facilitatormarked assignment.
One element in the assessment strategy of the course is that all
students should have the same information as facilitators about the
Academic Writing
a) Plagiarism
i) What is Plagiarism?
Any written assignment (essays, project, take-home exams,
etc) submitted by a student must not be deceptive regarding
the abilities, knowledge, or amount of work contributed by the
student. There are many ways that this rule can be violated.
Among them are:
o Paraphrases: The student paraphrases a closely
reasoned argument of an author without acknowledging
that he or she has done so. (Clearly, all our knowledge is
derived from somewhere, but detailed arguments from
clearly identifiable sources must be acknowledged.)
o Outright plagiarism: Large sections of the paper are
simply copied from other sources, and are not
acknowledged as quotations.
o Other sources: often include essays written by other
students or sold by unscrupulous organizations. Quoting
from such papers is perfectly legitimate if quotation
marks are used and the source is cited.
o Works by others: Taking credit deliberately or not
deliberately for works produced by another without
giving proper acknowledgement. Works includes
photographs, charts, graphs, drawings, statistics, videoclips, audio-clips, verbal exchanges such as interviews
or lectures, performances on television and texts printed
on the web.
o The student submits the same essay to two or more
courses.
ii) How can I avoid Plagiarism?
o Insert quotation marks around copy and paste clause,
phrase, sentence, paragraph and cite the original
source.
o
Paraphrase clause, phrase, sentence or paragraph in
your own words and cite your source
b) Documenting Sources
Whenever you quote, paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to
the work of another, you are required to cite its source parenthetical
documentation. Offered here are some of the most commonly cited
forms of material.
Direct
Simply having a thinking skill is no assurance that
children will use it. In order for such skills to
become part of day-to-day behaviour, they must
be cultivated in an environment that value and
sustains them. Just as childrens musical skills will
likely lay fallow in an environment that doesnt
encourage music, learners thinking skills tend to
languish in a culture that doesnt encourage
thinking (Tishman, Perkins and Jay, 1995, p.5)
Indirect
According to Wurman (1988), the new disease of
the 21st century will be information anxiety, which
has been defined as the ever-widening gap
between what one understands and what one
thinks one should understand.
c) Referencing
All sources that you cite in your paper should be listed in the
Reference section
at the end of your paper. Heres how you should do your
Reference.
