What is plagiarism?
NB! NEW PLAGIARISM POLICY
http://blogs.sun.ac.za/legalwriting/writing-guide/
Defines plagiarism as:
“
The use of the ideas or material of others without acknowledgement, or the re-use of one’s own previously evaluated or published material without acknowledgement (self-plagiarism).
Self-plagiarism
: The re-use of one’s own previously evaluated or published material without acknowledgement or
indication”
“
Die
gebruik van ander se idees of materiaal sonder erkenning, of die hergebruik van ’n persoon se eie voorheen geëvalueerde werk of gepubliseerde materiaal sonder erkenning (selfplagiaat).
Selfplagiaat:
Die hergebruik van ’n persoon se eie voorheen geëvalueerde of gepubliseerde materiaal sonder erkenning of
bekendmaking
”Slide5
What is plagiarism?
to
pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's
own /
om die
woorde
en
idees van iemand anders as jou eie voor te doen;to use (another's production) without crediting the source / om iemand anders se werk te gebruik sonder om die bron te verwys;to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source e.g. self plagiarism / om ‘n idee afgelei van ‘n bestaande bron as ‘n nuwe en oorspronklike idee voor te hou bv. selfplagiaat ;In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward.Slide6
When should I cite?
if you have taken texts verbatim from a source, quote and
cite /
direkte
aanhalings
uit
‘n
bron, gebruik aanhalings-tekens en verwys;if it is not your own ideas(s) or words e.g. paraphrased, cite / indien dit nie jou eie idee(s) of woorde is nie bv. geparafraseer, verwys;if you have translated a source, quote, cite and place [own translation] in footnote / indien jy die bron vertaal het, verwys en plaas [eie vertaling] in die voetnota;if in doubt, cite / indien jy twyfel, verwys.Slide7

Excerpt from original
source:… may ratify a contract he or she initially concluded without the requisite assistance, with the result that the contract becomes fully enforceable with retroactive effect. When a minor reaches majority in South Africa, that is 18 years of age, he or she “may ratify a contract he or she initially concluded without the requisite assistance, with the result that the contract becomes fully enforceable with retroactive effect”. 1 1 J Heaton The South African Law of Persons 3 ed (2008) 98.Slide8

. Translated sources:
Excerpt
from original source
:
Parties
must adhere to a minimum threshold of mutual respect in which the unreasonable and
one-sided
promotion of one’s own interest at the expense of the other infringes the principle of good faith to such a degree as to outweigh the public interest in the sanctity of contracts.Translated to Afrikaans:Partye moet ’n minimum drumpel van wedersydse respek nakom waar die onredelike en eensydige bevordering van een party se eie belang ten koste van die ander, die beginsel van goedertrou in so ’n mate skend dat dit swaarder weeg as die openbare belang in die onskendbaarheid van kontrakte.2 [eie vertaling] Footnote: 2 R Zimmermann “Good Faith and Equity” in R Zimmerman & D Visser (eds

Plagiarism Guidelines
Paraphrasing
Excerpt from original source
:
Even if the defence of disciplinary chastisement were effectively to disappear the defence of mistaken belief that moderate corporal chastisement for educational purposes is allowed (that is, putative disciplinary chastisement), being a defence excluding fault in the form of knowledge of unlawfulness, might still be available in principle.
Paraphrased
:
Although the defence of disciplinary chastisement might disappear, the misguided belief that reasonable physical punishment used for educational purposes is permitted, this being a defence not including liability in the form of knowledge of unlawfulness, might
in principle still exist.
3NB! IF more than one sentence is paraphrased, a footnote should be placed after EACH sentence not just at the end of the paragraph. Footnote:3 JM Burchell Principles of Criminal Law 4 ed (2013) 202.Slide10
Plagiarism Guidelines
D.
Providing
false / non-existent references
This could include,
inter alia
, footnotes that contain false or non-existent references, for example, URL’s of websites, authors, sources, page numbers, etcetera and also constitute acts of
plagiarism.E. Using the written assignments / essays / research papers or tutorials answers of another student(s) Using a fellow student’s (or students’) written assignment(s) / essay(s) / research paper(s), tutorial answer(s) or any part thereof, of any prior or current year of study, with or without the student’s (or students’) consent and presenting it as your own work constitutes plagiarism. Slide11
How do I paraphrase effectively?
Read the original
until
you completely understand its meaning.
Now put away the original source and write your version
Jot
down a few words to remind you later how you envision using this material. At the top of the page, write a key word or phrase to indicate the
subject
Verify
your version with the original source VERY IMPORTANT. Record the source (including the page). Slide12
How do I avoid committing plagiarism?
Plan
your assignment / research paper
Take notes while conducting research and record your sources accurately
Do not copy and paste
any
content from your research directly into your own
assignment
Where
possible, print your sources so you can refer to it again later Read your researched sources repeatedly until you understand it Err on the side of caution – rather cite Learn how to paraphrase properlyUse TurnitinSlide13
Turnitin
Wrong impressions about
Turnitin - what it is, what it does, how it works.
The
#1 misconception: that Turnitin detects plagiarism
.
Turnitin does not detect plagiarism
it merely finds and shows
text that matches other sources in the
Turnitin databases It is up to you to determine whether those text matches are a problem or not.It is important to realise that the Similarity Index is NOT a "plagiarism index”.5% does not necessarily mean that you have NOT committed plagiarism just as 75% does not necessarily mean that you HAVE committed plagiarism. YOU NEED TO WORK THROUGH YOUR REPORT AND ESTABLISH WHETHER YOU HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE REFERENCING REQUIREMENTS. http://turnitin.com/en_us/component/content/article?id=1643:does-turnitin-detect-plagiarism Slide14
