WHAT EXAMPLE ARE CONSIDERED AS PLAGIARISM?

1]CLAIM SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK AS YOUR'S WORK

-when others ask about their work,they dont admit they copying work from someone else but still claim that is their work.

2]COPYING WORDS OR IDEAS FROM OTHERS WITHOUT CREDI THEM

-giving credit after we copying words or ideas from someone else is sign of our appreciatation and respect to them.

3]NOT DOING QUOTATION IN QUOTATION MARKS

-copying and doing reference are two different things.if you do reference you will put link or credit at your page.

4]GIVING FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT SOURCE OF QUOTATION

-if we are copying we shouldnt change the information.we still can change the sentences but not the meaning

5]CHANGE THE WORD BUT STILL COPYING WIHOUT GIVING CREDIT

-if you take someone else work for doing reference or research or something else you must put the credit!IMPORTANTTTT

HOW TO AVOID PLAGIARISM?

1]PARAPHRASE/PLANNING

a.refer to your lecturer

-there is one malay quote saying " if you’re ashamed of asking, you’ll get lost".so that before doing work or assignment refer to your lecturer so that you will get better understanding about what you are going to do.

b.planning before doing work

-if we planning before doing work we will get extra understanding and our work will more organize and neat.

c.taking the note

-all the important thing we must write down and add extra point to our note.to avoid confusion about our sources we can use highlight!we can use many different colour of highlight to attract us to keep study.we also memorize thing more faster when we use different colour of highlight.

2]WRITING/REFERENCING

Referencing is where we provide a book or an article in our assignment with citations of authorities.

      Cite sources

-use the actual quotation the way it appear.dont change it.respect their work.

Make it clear who said what

 -if you're giving an idea to someone else please credit where you take the idea ,the link article anything.make it clear.

    

 Know how to paraphrase

-you are allowed to refer someone else work and paraphrase it into your own but dont change the meaning .

   

 Evaluate your sources

-write detail about who wrote it,where you get,and credit them.

Include a reference page

- You should include a reference page of your works at the end of your paper. Check the guideline for citing sources properly.

]HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR GRADE POINT?

1]you must know GPA grade/calculation

2]you must know the  formula of culmulative point average[CGPA]is;

CGPA = The total credit values registered and attempted in the assessment of all semester

                                       The total credit units acquired in all semester

EXAMPLE ON HOW TO CALCULATE IT

GPA WORKSHEET

ACTIVITIES FOR STUDENT

 

1. Calculate the GPA for Amelia Ameer for her first semester:

Course and Grade (1st Semester)	Course Point Average
Comparative Animal Physiology: 3 credits, earned grade of B+	3.33x3 = 9.99
Biochemistry I: 4 credits, earned grade of C-	1.67x4= 6.68
Integrated Physiology Lab: 1 credit, earned grade of A	4.0
Asian Civilization I: 3 credits, earned grade of C-	1.67x3= 5.01
Ecology: 3 credits, earned grade of A	4.0x3=12
Korean I: 3 credits, earned grade of B	3.0x3=9
Total Number of Credits =	17
Total Points Earned =	46.68
GPA =	46.68 / 17 = 2.75

 

2. Calculate what would have happened if Amelia had earned a B in Chemistry.

 3.0 x 4 = 12     ii. 46.68 - 6.68 + 12 = 52    iii. 52/17 = 3.06 (amelia’s new gpa) 

3. What is the difference in GPA?

  The gpa is increase from 2.75 to 3.06

4. Now calculate Amelia GPA for the next semester: 

Course and Grade (2nd Semester)	Course Point Average
Cell Biology: 4 credits, earned grade of B+	3.33x4 = 13.32
Organic Chemistry I: 4 credits, earned grade of B	3.0x4= 12
Intro Physics I: 4 credits, earned grade of C	2.0x4=8
Writing in Biology: 3 credits, earned grade of C	2.0x3= 6
Public Speaking: 3 credits, earned grade of A-	3.67x3=11.01
Total Number of Credits =	18
Total Points Earned =	50.33
GPA =	50.33 / 18 = 2.8

 

5. What would happen if Amelia had received a D in Cell Bio instead of the B+?

1.0 x 4 = 4     50.33 - 13.32 + 4 = 41.01     41.01 / 18= 2.29   amelia’s new gpa = 2.29

6. What is the difference in GPA?

The gpa is decrease from 2.8 to 2.29

 

7. What is the difference in CGPA?

 Amelia Just pass

8. What does Amelia have to do in order to achieve a GPA of 3.00 in the 2nd semester if her CGPA falls below 2.50 in the 1st semester

 

Amelia need to score at least B in every subject to achieve cgpa 3.00
