First, review this infographic from Turnitin called “White Paper: The Plagiarism Spectrum,” and then read “The Similarity Report.” In addition, watch the video “Turnitin: Student Guide to Checking for Plagiarism and GradeMark.”

Select one of the ten types of plagiarism to focus on in your initial post. Do not select a type that has already been written about by one of your group members. Each group member should post about a different type of plagiarism.

1. What type of plagiarism did you select?
2. In your own words, what is it? Be specific and provide an example.
3. Why is it considered plagiarism?
4. How can it be avoided? Be specific.

In each of your replies, include the following:

1. A summary of what you learned from your group member’s post.
2. Suggestions of other ways the form of plagiarism can be avoided.
3. An explanation of how the Turnitin Similarity Report can be used to detect and correct the type of plagiarism examined in that group members’ initial post.
