Materi 13 - Antiplagiarisme

Main ideas, concepts, and lessons

• Why academic integrity matters (future-building mindset)

  • The video frames Telkom University as a place where students are “chosen” to compete successfully and prepare for the future.
  • Students are contrasted between:
    • Fixed mindset: focuses on getting final grades “by any means.”
    • Growth mindset: values the learning process (“every drop of sweat”).
  • It addresses the temptation question: “Why be honest when AI can do it all?”
    • While AI can generate answers, the video argues that AI cannot duplicate proven character and original synthesis capabilities.
    • The degree is portrayed as more than a document—it represents public trust that requires integrity.

• Core framework: integrity values

  • Using cited regulations (Minister of Education/Culture Regulation No. 39 of 2021 and Telkom University regulation PU026/2022), the video presents six interrelated values forming the basis of student integrity:
    • Honesty
    • Trust
    • Justice
    • Honor
    • Responsibility
    • Determination
  • Relationship logic emphasized:
    • Honesty is the foundation of action (e.g., reporting data/results accurately).
    • Determination is the moral force to stick to principles and refuse cheating under pressure or deadlines.
    • Consistent application leads to growing trust and respect.
  • Integrity is presented as a prerequisite for meaningful scientific work:
    • Without integrity, scientific work becomes “a pile of words without meaning.”

Detailed methodology / instruction-like content (Turnitin/plagiarism prevention + writing practice)

A) Types of plagiarism (10 categories via Turnitin “spectrum”)

1. Submitting someone else’s work entirely as your own.
2. Copying most source content without changes.
3. Replacing some words with synonyms but keeping the same structure and content.
4. Combining/paraphrasing multiple sources without producing genuinely original thoughts.
5. Reusing your own previous work/assignments without proper citation.
6. Mixing quoted material with other copied parts without citing sources for the combined sections.
7. Using material from multiple sources without proper citations.
8. Including references/sources that are false, invalid, or not verifiable.
9. Good citations present, but the writing is mostly summary of sources with little/no author analysis or contribution.
10. Overly close paraphrasing: using sources correctly but matching sentence structure so closely it’s not a good paraphrase.

B) Guidance on distinguishing intentional vs unintentional plagiarism

• Intentional plagiarism: deliberate cheating/copying.
• Unintentional plagiarism: negligence such as:
  • incorrect citations
  • poor paraphrasing
  • using invalid/unfindable references
• Key takeaway: either way, plagiarism reduces originality and violates academic integrity.

C) Integrity boundaries and similarity rules (Telkom University enforcement)

• Similarity threshold
  • Maximum similarity level is stated as 25.
  • 25 is described as a ceiling, not a target.
  • The video claims “true quality” is around 75% original synthesis from the student.
• Extra rule about paragraph-level similarity
  • Even 1% paragraph similarity can be problematic if it indicates patchwork writing (assembling text fragments without real processing into original work).

D) Recommended method: “read, close, and write”

• Read: study sources to understand the concepts.
• Close: stop looking at the source (“close the screen”).
• Write: rewrite using your own logic/structure.
• Emphasis:
  • Don’t only translate.
  • Synthesize (create original understanding, not copy-driven rewriting).

Consequences and moral/social framing

• Integrity is a “social contract with society.”
• Sanctions are described as significant under regulations (mentions Article 17 and Article 13):
  • grade reduction
  • course cancellation
  • up to the most serious sanction (“witness”/expulsion phrased as the gravest outcome)
  • dropping out
• Strong warning:
  • Even after graduating and working for decades, diplomas/degrees can be cancelled if evidence of past fraud is found.
  • “Integrity has no expiration date.”

Closing message / moral lesson

• A scenario is used: being under time pressure (assignment due in 2 hours) and tempted to copy.
• The video argues:
  • choosing integrity is about identity (“who you would be in the future”)
  • doing imperfect but honest work is better than “clones” because it builds skills and character
• Integrity is framed as:
  • courage to be honest even when nobody is watching
  • valuing every original sentence, however simple
  • the “only treasure that cannot be stolen from the future”
