6 WCnewsmagazine Plagiarism on the rise By Carrie Petrea * WEnewsmagazine Spring semester is beginning to end, and as we all know, papers begin to pile up very quickly. Though it may seem innocent enough, taking someone else's work, whether the student is aware of it or not, is a serious offense. It may seem easy enough to hide it, but new technologies make it easier for professors to track plagiarism in the classroom. According to the University Writing Center's web page, plagiarism is the intentional or unintentional use of another writers ideas and/or words as your own. Information is plagiarized if someone else's ideas, thoughts, words, illustrations, or examples are used without fully accreditation to the original author. However, documenting universally-known truths is not a requirement. For example, Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom does not need accreditation because everyone knows this fo be true and is common knowledge. But understand the meaning of common knowledge. Common knowledge does not belong to one particular writer. If a student were to say, Mice cells embryonic stem cells, (CNN) they would have to cite the source because it is neither common knowledge, nor their own thoughts or ideas. Intentional plagiarism can result in anywhere from a failing grade to expulsion from the university. Purchasing online papers is an example of intentional plagiarism. The work did not come from the student but from another source. Likewise, buying another student's paper is the same thing, According to the Writing Center, students who intentionally plagiarize do not take notes, outline or revise their papers and are unwilling to participate in extensive reading. Unintentional plagiarism may also result in a failing grade. Students who unintentionally plagiarize may not know how to take notes or are unaware of how to property cite a source. It could be something as simple as forgetting to end a quote with the appropriate quotation marks, Rain fails to stop Tuck Clean Up By Margaret Hester Wenewsmagazine Saturday April 22, 2006, Earth Day, started with a grey sky and few rain drops, but this did not stop the 22" annual Tuckaeegee River Clean Up. The Tuckaseegee is a Class I-lI whitewater river, and it is the most significant river in the Cullowhee area. Spanning from Cashiers to Panther Town, the Tuck winds through six different reservoirs, including large lake communities; people from all around come to the area to fish, raft, kayak and float down the Tuck. Each Year, WCU, Base Camp Cullowhee (BCC) and other sponsors organize this massive cleanup of Western North Carolina's great icon. This year, roughly 300-400 volunteers showed up on the UC lawn to participate in this environmental clean up. Paddles, life jackets and rafts were provided thanks to BCC, Dillsboro River Company, Nantahala Outdoor Company and other sponsors, The majority of volunteers were taken to the Dillsboro River Company, given safety instructions, placed in rafts with trash bags and told to have fun. Although the water was high due to recent rains, significant amounts of trash were collected from the river and its banks. However, the fun did not stop with the rafting trip. After two miles of Paddling and collecting trash, the volunteers were brought back to the UC lawn for @ cookout, door prizes and much more. Thanks to the UC staff, volunteers were served their choice of hotdogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers, coleslaw and an assortment of desserts. While all volunteers enjoyed their meals, a The Student Handbook provides more information on unintentional and intentional plagiarism, but know that there is a deliberate gray area to give faculty members some leeway on how they want to handle plagiarism, Some professors are more strict than others; however, blatant plagiarism, or the deliberate copying of someone else's work, can, and probably will, end in expulsion from the university. Even though we live in a literary-filed world, itis easier than ever for professors to catch students plagiarizing. Professors can now submit students Papers through online web pages such as tumitin.com. Turitin.com highlights every quote, summary or paraphrases from another's work, and ifthe source is. ot properly cited, professors will know it in less than three seconds. However, students can submit their own work to turitin.com before turing it in class to double check to make sure they cited all their sources correctly Additionally, students often go online to databases such as Google Search and Academic Search Elite to find sources for their paper. While this is Perfectly acceptable in most cases, the failure to properly cite the information can easily be spotted. If students can go online to search for their sources, professors can just as well. Remember that faculty members are cunning and crafty; if a paper is plagiarized, they'll be able to sniff it out, Plagiarism is not only dishonest, it's also stealing. If you worked hard to produce a document, you wouldn't want someone else to come along and take all the credit for it. I's okay to use quotes from another source as long as you give credit where credit is due. Likewise, copying and pasting someone else's work verbatim and then citing the source at the end will also result in failing grade. Professors are interested in your work and your ideas. That's what college is all about! If college were easy, everyone would go. If you are uncertain how to properly cite a source, or when to cite a source, visit the University Writing Center's homepage at www.wcu.edul waitinacenter or make an appointment by calling 227-7197. band comprised of Wester Carolina University Alumni called Whitewater Blue Grass Company performed for the entertainment of the evening. Towards the end of the afternoon, door prizes were given away to volunteers whose names were drawn. The majority of the door prizes were gift certificates to many stores located in Syiva. Probably the most interesting event of the evening was the unique {rash find. If volunteers found an interesting item on the river while collecting trash, they could enter it into this contest. Some of the unique items found included a gas tank for a gril, a Playskool telephone and tires. The award of most unique trash went to the people who found an old, extremely biodegraded Cabbage Pa'ch doll.
