Plagiarism can also be recognized by widely-used programs, such as Turnitin, which is used by Walden University to check for exact wording as well as the uniqueness of the submitted paper's thoughts.

d. Ways in Which Plagiarism can be Avoided

Plagiarism can be avoided in several ways. The writer should err on the side of citing, if he/she is unsure of whether to cite (Regents of the University of California, 2011). In addition, the writer should be careful to fully cite the source (Regents of the University of California, 2011). If necessary because of the vital nature of the passage, the writer can also exactly quote that passage and properly cite it. Finally, the writer should read the source for the information, absorb the information and paraphrase in his/her own words while fully and properly citing the source (Regents of the University of California, 2011). In these ways, a writer can avoid even unintentionally plagiarizing his/her source.

3. Conclusion

This assignment involved plagiarism and included reasons why plagiarism is undesirable, the concepts underlying plagiarism, examples of plagiarism and examples in which writers avoided plagiarism. In addition, Cynthia Crossen's Tainted truth: The manipulation of fact in America (Crossen, 1994) and a student's unintentional plagiarism of Crossen's work were used for an exercise in recognizing and correcting plagiarism. Though the student did cite Crossen, he/she still plagiarized by simply leaving out the first and third sentences, then rearranging concepts and exact words without properly quoting Crossen's work. Two of those plagiarized sentences were corrected by block quotations with proper citations. Plagiarism such as this can be recognized by comparing the original source with the student's writing and by such programs as Turnitin. Furthermore, plagiarism can be avoided by citing when in doubt, by quoting if necessarily, by fully citing and by reading, absorbing the source, and then using one's own ideas and words.
