Academic Integrity and Examples of Proper Citation
Answer the following question: How can these resources help students uphold academic integrity?
These resources help students uphold academic integrity by teaching them to understand the difference between appropriate and inappropriate use of source material.

Probably the most valuable aspect of the material is that it helps students avoid plagiarizing unintentionally when they do not realize it and have no idea that their intended use of reference material is prohibited.
What are the differences between a summary, a direct quote, and a paraphrase?
A summary consists of an original brief synopsis of the ideas in the referenced material.

Paraphrasing consists of rewording the ideas in the referenced material in entirely original words.

This is a direct quote of the original text:
"LSI is based on Kolb's Experiential learning model. In this model, knowledge is created from grasping...
LSI was designed to place people on a line between concrete experience (CE) and abstract conceptualization (AC); and active experimentation (AE) and reflective observation (RO). The very brief explanations are as follows: Concrete Experience: Looking at things as they are, without any change in raw detail. Abstract Conceptualization: Looking at things as concepts and ideas, after a degree of processing that turns the raw detail into an internal model.
Active Experimentation: Taking what they have concluded and trying it out to prove that it works. Reflective Observation: Taking what they have concluded and watching to see if it works." (Akkoyunlu, & Soylu, 2008 p. 185)
This is a paraphrasing of the (same) original text:
There are numerous theories about how people learn, and one of the most commonly used is Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI), that categorizes learning according to the following broad distinctions: Concrete Experience or considering things substantially the way they are presented; Abstract Conceptualization or considering things as ideas and theories that represent or incorporate what is represented; Active Experimentation or forming conclusions based on what is represented and conducting experiments to confirm those conclusions; and Reflective Observation or determining whether what…

It can therefore be concluded that academic integrity and ethical conduct are expected of every learner in all academic procedures.

Irony Laboratory reports are like any other deliverable in school. They require original work, and the citation of work borrowed from others. When referring to prior research, I need to cite that research properly. When I like an idea or theory, I can include that in my paper as long as I give credit to the source. If I like someone else's words, I can quote those words and give credit.
Persaud might have been under such duress as to plagiarize because the school and his professors placed an insurmountable amount pressure on him. Plagiarism, Persaud probably thought, was the only way to succeed and accomplish his dreams. Yet until the rules of the game change, players are obliged to obey them or else risk their personal and professional integrity. Preventing plagiarism depends on four main factors. First, students should resist
