on what plagiarism actually is. If a student is unclear on if they had committed plagiarism or not,

Plagiarism is borrowing someone's thoughts or concepts without acknowledging the source. It is illegal for a student to steal an author’s thoughts without permission. For example, Rebecca Moore Howard indicates that some students patchwork which means to quilt with a lot of resources from websites, books and other source on their essay without citations and references (as cited in Nall & Gherwash Aug 12, 2013). Even though students have written it in their own words, their writing needs citations and references because the source's information is not from their own ideas. They need sufficient paraphrasing by their own words with citations and references to avoid plagiarism (as cited in Nall & Gherwash Aug 12, 2013). George Brown and Centennial College each have academic honesty policy. While both school policies have a similar definition of plagiarism, they have a few differences in terms of the clarity and specify penalties.

I am writing to appeal my academic dismissal from Chamberlain College of Nursing. I understand that I have taken the NR 302 Health Assessment course two times at Chamberlain College of Nursing and have not been successful, which led to my dismissal. Receiving a dismissal letter on October 30, 2015, through my email was not a surprise to me, but I was upset with myself for pain that I caused to myself. This is my fault and I am fully responsible for this failure. I am writing this appeal letter to explain the reason of my failure and to appeal to you to please consider reinstating me for the spring session.

I’m writing to you, in hopes to appeal my academic dismissal of the nursing program at Adelphi University. I am aware that my grades are lower than required, and I take full responsibility for being on academic probation. I was surprised when I got the news that I have been dismissed from the nursing program because I did not receive any form of notification of dismissal from the University earlier. I was informed by my guidance counselor prior to the start of spring semester that I would say in the program as long as I did not obtain a lower GPA than I had. As a result of my GPA increasing I was surprised to receive the news of my dismissal. Despite this I believe that I did not handle my situation correctly and should have maintained sufficient grades to avoid academic probation. As stated before I recognize and

In a case of dismissal, Academic Dismissal will be noted on the transcript. The penalty for academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and unethical behavior as it relates to the writing of the essay, or creative project may be dismissal from the Class. Any appeal by a student is to be made first to the instructor.A written report of the incident by the instructor or department chair will be sent to the dean of the College or school, who will keep a written record of the complaint when it is filed, and will forward a copy of the complaint to the appropriate associate dean’s office at the time. The associate dean will place a copy of this record in the student’s file and provide the student with a copy.The student has the right to appeal the accusation of academic dishonesty if the student believes it to be in error.After reading websites and other papers to write this paper i have learned that i could have got in a lot more trouble then i actually did.And if i was in college it would be a much more serious

You are correct and I agree with you. My middle daughter who is going into her JR year, received a bad grade. She came home upset and questioning the grade her teacher gave her. I read the paper she wrote and read it again just to make sure I understand what was written. The teacher had a few footnotes that stated she was plagiarizing. I asked my daughter where did she retrieve her information and she stated the internet, I asked her did she just copy and paste and she said yes. I had to explain to her that when your copying and pasting from any source besides your own and your not submitting a reference it is plagiarism. Oh course she gave me the look as though I was speaking a foreign language.

There are many definitions of plagiarism. The Code of Academic Honesty at Cornell University described this act as “the unacknowledged use of the words or ideas of others” (2005). “Using the words, sentences, arguments, rhetorical structures, and ideas of another without proper citation and acknowledgment” is how plagiarism was defined in the Code of Academic Honesty at the University of Iowa (2016). The Honor Code

I am writing to appeal my academic probation at Pierce College Puyallup to further my education.

I am writing to request an appeal of my current dismissal status at Argosy University. I am enrolled in the Associate of Arts in Psychology degree program and I have failed the course English 101- Composition 1, due to a substance abuse problem that I have addressed by joining a program. Up until my first attempt with English 101- Composition 1, my grade point average was a 4.0. I was proud of myself being that it was my first time to ever make it on the President's List. I had so much satisfaction because not only I am doing something that I loved and enjoyed, but over the first few courses, I was able to recognize the knowledge that I have gained and use it in real life situations.

Plagiarism cases can provide insight on the dire consequences that can occur if a student is caught copying within an academic setting. The professors accused Amanda Serpico, a former student of Rutgers University, of plagiarizing on her opinion paper in her argumentation class (Bailey, 2011). Amanda obtained partial credit for using citations in a majority of the writing and providing the sources in the reference section, but she did not properly cite at least three verbatim passages that she used within her work (Bailey, 2011). Amanda utilized Turnitin software to review her document and to detect plagiarism before turning in the paper for grading, but the plagiarism accusation still resulted in her receiving a failing grade on the assignment and in the course and denied admission to several graduate schools. (Bailey, 2011).

We should consider starting reporting until July to make sure we can get out reporting done promptly and before 2015 deadline. Our EHR system should be able to meet and match the components in the meaningful use guidelines. There are altogether ten objectives that need to be completed by the End of 2015 but there exclude targets if we

This is an appeals letter for the University Academic Appeals Committee. This is a letter of appeal for the summer Counseling Art Therapy Class with Phyllis Nodler. This was a hybrid class so I had been doing the pre- class work. As for class I was un- able to attend for medical reasons. I was sick starting in May and was in the E.R. on the 20th. I continued to have fevers and be ill and one of my doctors sent me back to the Boise E.R. on June 3rd. I had a spinal tap that day and was released. I continued to have fevers and was still ill, so I went back to the E.R. in Mountain Home on June 7th. They told me the spinal tap I had done showed Meningitis and I should have never been released; I was admitted. After that I was ambulanced to the

When Seneca college students are suspected that committing plagiarism, Academic Honesty Committee, Seneca college’s committee, determine the punishments and provide the procedure and Academic Honesty report form to students who have committed plagiarism offences. In addition, it notes the number of students’ breaches for determining penalties and make a meeting with suspended student and student advisors. In the case offended student disagrees with the decision, the committee provides Academic Appeal Request Form and considers the penalties (“Procedures”, 2015). Similarly, the College Hearings Committee, which Centennial college’s committee, decides the punishments and proceeds to the steps of enforcing the policy. The offended students should fill Breach of academic honesty form which provide form the college Hearings Committee. For making a proper decision of penalties, the committee records students’ history of offences. Moreover, if offended student disagrees with the decision, the committee applies College Appeal Board form and gives the judge of penalties (“Academic”, September, 2007). Thus both college’s committees make a decision to enforce the policy of plagiarism and record the history of

Plagiarism is not a crime, but it is a moral offence. Plagiarism is the act of copying someone else’s original idea and passing it as one’s own work. While each university has different policy and regulations against plagiarism some examples of it are: Direct copying from original sources, copying material and making slight changes to it and paraphrasing. Plagiarism in essay writing is cheating, and students who use someone else’s intellectual property without permission, or having someone else do their essay work are breaking the educational institution regulations. These practices of cheating create lack of creativity, inability to gain new knowledge and disrespect towards the professor and the original author.

According to our readings, "the type of plagiarism deliberate or unintentional has an impact upon the perception of the offence for both faculty and students" (Academic Integrity 2011). This is an important distinction to some people, although the act of plagiarism remains unacceptable no matter why it is done.
