SPCH 10003: Introduction to Oral Communications

The legal and ethical issues surrounding the use of information goes beyond avoiding plagiarism and properly citing sources.

Researchers should be knowledgeable about issues related to:

• privacy
• censorship
• freedom of speech
• intellectual property
• copyright
• fair use

To avoid plagiarizing:

• Paraphrase the original text into your own words.
• Use quotation marks around text that has been taken directly from the original source.
• Cite every source of information you use in your paper unless it is common knowledge or the results of your own research.

Refer to Mr. Herrman's requirements when creating and formatting your PowerPoint presentation. Cite information you quote, paraphrase, or summarize verbally and in the PowerPoint presentation. Also remember to cite images, graphs, and video clips that you use in your presentation.
