AVOIDING PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism : An act of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author.

TYPES OF PLAGIARISM

  • Copying words ideas from someone else without giving credit 
  • Turning in someone else's work as your own
  • Failing to put a quotation in quotation marks 
  • Giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation 
  • Changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit
  • Copying so many words or ideas from a source
PREVENTING PLAGIARISM

PLANNING YOUR PAPER
1. Consult Your Instructor
    - If you have doubts or questions about something, you should ask your instructor / lecturer
2. Plan Your Paper
    - You plan how you are doing to include other sources of information in your paper
    - There must be a balance between the ideas taken from other sources and your own ideas
3. Take Effective Notes
    - Organize the information that you have found by taking though notes of all sources before 
      you start writing.
    - To avoid confusion about sources, try using different colored fonts, pens or pencils for  
      each one.

WRITING YOUR PAPER
1. Cite Resources 
    - When quoting a source, use the quote exactly the way it appears. If the quotation is 
      relatively short (usually fewer than 3 lines or 40 words), those word must be enclosed in 
      quotation marks.
2. Make It Clear Who Said That
    - If you are discussing the ideas of more than one person, be careful with confusing 
      pronouns. Always make sure to differentiate who said what, and give credit to the right 
      person.
3. Know How To Paraphrase 
    - To paraphrase, you must change both the words and the sentence structure of the  
      original, without changing the content.
4. Include a Reference Page
    - One of the most important ways to avoid plagiarism is referencing. Include a reference 
      page or page of works cited at the end of your paper. Check guidelines for citing sources 
      properly.

CALCULATING GRADE POINT AVERAGE

The final examination results and assessments at the end of every semester are assigned as Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which represent student's academic achievement.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)

Every semester, students receive a GPA based on the grades they earned in all their courses during that semester.

CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) refers to the overall GPA, which includes dividing the number of quality points earned in all courses attempted by the total credit hours in all attempted courses.   



THE END
 THANK YOU GUYS !

  INTRODUCTION   My name is RASHA ALIEYA BINTI MUSTAFA DINUL HAFIZ . I am a student who currently study at UITM PAHANG , CAMPUS JENGKA .  Now I am just a student in Pre-Diploma in plantation and agrotechnology. One of the most important purposes for me to create this portfolio is to introduce students to Ued 102 or known soft skills.

For example, some students love to study in a quiet place with minimal environmental distractions and some students love to...
