The original text“The story of Realism most often begins with a mythical tale of the
idealist or utopian writers of the interwar period (1919-39). Writing in
the aftermath of the First World War, the idealists, a term that realist
writers have retrospectively imposed on the interwar scholars,
focused much of their attention on the understanding the cause of
war so as to find a remedy of its existence. Yet according to the
realist, the inter-war scholars’ approach was flawed in a number of
respects. They, for example ignored the role of power, overestimated
the degree to which human beings were rational, mistakenly believed
that nation-states shared a set of common interests, and were overly
passionate in their belief in the capacity of humankind to overcome
the scourge of war. The outbreak of the Second World War in 1939
confirmed, for the realists at least, the inadequacies of the inter-war
idealists’ approach.” (Dunne, Tim and Brian C. Schmidt (2006), “Realism”, in John Baylis and Steve Smith , The Globalization of World Politics, Oxford: Oxford University Press, p. 161-162)

Tim Dunne and Brian C. Schmidt warn against the tendency of textbooks to locate the origin of Realist thought in the inter-war period (1919-39). Allegedly, Realism emerged as a response to idealist analyses of the causes for World War I. Realists notably criticized that idealists did not sufficiently understood the divisive force of power politics and the basic principle of world politics, namely “the competitive nature of politics among nations” (Dunne and Schmidt 2006: 162).

There is a myth that Realism started with the idealism of the interwar period. Realists say that idealism was flawed because they ignored the role of power and that people are rational. Idealism was wrong as World War Two proved.

Bad habits in taking notes from readings
Wrong paraphrasing

Paraphrasing does NOT mean:
• To reformulate a sentence in your reading by replacing words• To copy different sentences from several readings and glue
them together• To summarize paragraph by paragraph one reading or
alternating paragraph summaries of various readings
Wrong note taking
Don’ts
Do not

Plagiarism is NOT a trivial offence
Plagiarism is a serious academic offence
It is intellectual theft
It is intellectually dishonest
It is academically poor
It is simply not very smart because it does not show your lecturers what you do and so … they cannot mark your performance
ConsequentlyWhen we find plagiarised text your work.
We call you in for a hearing with the Head of Division
We listen to your case; if plagiarism is proven beyond doubt you will receive a penalty.
Penalties range from: mark of “0” for this piece of work, mark of “0” for this module, mark of “0” for the year, and can go all the way to expulsion from the university.
If awarded the mark “0” we require you to redo the dissertation and we can require you to retake Year 4.
We do consider the student’s situation and we are fair: penalties vary according to the importance of the case, the experience of the student, the situation of the student etc.
But don’t try our patience.
