Christian Excellence

 This presentation will discuss academic integrity. Throughout your education here at Liberty University, Academic Integrity is of the utmost importance. Let's first think of academic integrity from a spiritual perspective. The Lord has gifted each of us with unique gifts. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord, there are different kinds of working, but in all of them. And then everyone, it is the same God at work. First, Corinthians 124 through six and IV. The Lord has gifted you with a unique set of gifts. Some of you may be skilled at public speaking and others maybe skilled at researching. Whatever your gift is, you should use it to glorify the Lord. As you research criminal justice issues, you will be reading the research, analysis and thoughts of many different men and women. Each of these authors has used their unique gifts to craft the journal article or paper that you are reading. If you use a portion of this work within your research paper, you should give the author proper credit for the work they have done. The Lord commands us to not steal. If we use an author's work without properly citing it, we have stolen that author's ideas and passed it off as someone else's. We should always give proper credit where it is due, and use our writing to glorify God. Throughout this course and during our academic career, we should strive to constantly have scholarly integrity. Scholarly integrity is made up of five characteristics. Generosity, honesty, gratitude, industriousness, and humility. Be generous in your scholarly work by presenting a respectful treatment of other author's work. Strive to be honest by accurately representing others thoughts and your own findings. Express gratitude by giving all possible credit to others. The industrious. Always be willing to work hard to find the truth and share it effectively. Act with humility, accurately estimate your own contributions. And above all else, remember that in our studies, research, and writing, we work for God, not for ourselves.

Page one. Plagiarism typically happens in three places within an author's writing. Quotations, paraphrases, and summaries. Quotations are direct transcriptions of others language. Quotations require quotation marks, parenthetical in text, citations, and a bibliography entry in the papers reference list. Paraphrases are the reworking of another author's language. Paraphrases require parenthetical in-text citation and a bibliographic entry in the papers reference list. Summaries are rehearsing or referring to others ideas or findings. Summaries like paraphrases, require parenthetical citations and bibliographic entries.
