Notes for JRL490, spring 2007 Course overview Electronic Magazine, or Ezine, focuses on writing, editing and packaging magazine-length stories for the web. We'll study today's world of online journalism and put theory into practice by publishing three editions of our magazine online. Student journalists practice reporting stories of varied length, specifically for presentation on the Web. Students will be required to report and write several original works of journalism. The class is taught in a hands-on workshop atmosphere in an electronic classroom. Students will learn to use the following software: web browser interface, Photoshop, notepad and an HTML editor. Because of the heavy emphasis on writing, editing and web production, JRL 300Z (Intro to Journalism) and some knowledge of HTML are prerequisites.

How to Cite Sources and Avoid Plagiarism Undergraduate bulletin: Presenting as one's own work the work of another person (for example, the words, ideas, information, data, evidence, organizing principles, or style of presentation of someone else). Plagiarism includes paraphrasing or summarizing without acknowledgment, submission of another student's work as one's own, the purchase of prepared research or completed papers or projects, and the unacknowledged use of research sources gathered by someone else. Failure to indicate accurately the extent and precise nature of one's reliance on other sources is also a form of plagiarism. The student is responsible for understanding the legitimate use of sources, the appropriate ways of acknowledging academic, scholarly, or creative indebtedness, and the consequences for violating University regulations. EXAMPLES OF PLAGIARISM INCLUDE: failure to acknowledge the source(s) of even a few phrases, sentences, or paragraphs; failure to acknowledge a quotation or paraphrase of paragraph-length sections of a paper; failure to acknowledge the source(s) of a major idea or the source(s) for an ordering principle central to the paper's or project's structure; failure to acknowledge the source (quoted, paraphrased, or summarized) of major sections or passages in the paper or project; the unacknowledged use of several major ideas or extensive reliance on another person's data, evidence, or critical method; submitting as one's own work, work borrowed, stolen, or purchased from someone else. | |
