  9. Plagiarism does have degrees of guilt ...

  10. First Degree Plagiarism = Highest Guilt The student has no intention of doing any of the work. • Buying a paper from www.schoolsucks.com • Using EssayTyper to produce a draft • Copying a source word for word You gotta love Wikipedia!

  11. Second Degree Plagiarism = Still Guilty! The student mixes his/her original writing with material from sources, giving no creditto the other author(s). • Appropriating—intentionally or not—an entire sentence or paragraph without citing the source • Changing only a few words or the order that the words occur I hope I remember to cite that passage later!

  12. Word Slaughter The student mentions sources on a works cited page and may include quotations but doesn’t use identifying tags or parenthetical references to indicate what piece(s) belong to which author(s). I have a works cited page. What more does my professor want?

  13. Misdemeanor Plagiarism The student misuses quotation marksor incorrectly builds parenthetical references. Do I need a reference here? I don’t think so, and I don’t have time to check!

  14. Any degree of plagiarism will cost you in this class! The first occasion earns a zero; the second occasion results in your immediate withdrawal.

  15. These excuses will not forgive the crime ...

  16. I did so much research that I got a little confused! That offence will bite you in the butt!

  17. I ran out of time! Now you have an eternity to enjoy the ZERO you earned!

  18. Well, enjoy your nice fat F! I got a C on my last paper, and I need an A in this class!

  19. I’ve written papers like this in other classes, and the instructors never cared! You didn’t get away with it this time!

  20. It’s a coincidence that my paper says the exact same thing! And I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn!

  21. I don’t know what the rules are. I’ve never had to write a research essay before! This time, ignorance is not bliss!

  22. To avoid plagiarizing, try the following strategies ...

  23. Strategy 1: Ask for help. This way, the professor knows that you are indeed tryingto cite your sources correctly.

  24. Strategy 2: Don’t wait until the last minute to start the paper. Not only will your professor be unavailablefor help, but you will also get so stressedthat you might forget an important citation.

  25. Strategy 3: Carefully mark your original sources and notes so that you know where you got what. Be sure to get all necessary bibliographic information: author, title, original source, page numbers, etc. Keep an organized notebook so that you can findwhat you need.

  26. Works Cited Beato, Cristina. “How Family Physicians Can Help Spread ‘The Heart Truth.’” American FamilyPhysican 15 Sept. 2009: 1026. Health Source: Nursing Academic. Web. 21 Oct. 2013. Blumenthal, Roger S., and Simeon Margolis. “Heart Attack Prevention.” John Hopkins White Paper 2009: 1-52. Health Source: Consumer Edition. Web. 21 Oct. 2013. Cicero, Karen. “How to Prevent a Heart Attack.” Prevention February 2010: 122. Academic Search Complete. Web. 21 Oct. 2013. “Heart.” Britannica Academic Edition. 2008. Britannica Academic Edition. Web. 9 June 2011. “Heart Attack.” American Heart Association. Web. 21 Oct. 2013. Strategy 4: Prepare a correct and complete works cited page. Showing where you found all of your information indicates that you have used sources and are creditingthem for their help in the production of your essay.

  27. Strategy 5: Use parenthetical references every time you paraphrase, summarize, or quote directly from a source. Women may be unknowingly contributing to their future health. Striving to be a super woman can bring high levels of stress, anxiety and feelings of depression into the daily routine. Dr. Lori Mosca, Director of Preventive Cardiology at New York Presbyterian Hospital, notes that women “should make sure they have a good support network, and doctors should be on the lookout for depression” (Hawthorne). Being committed to good health habits, such as regular exercise and sensible eating can be a value that women will realize many years later. Any piece of information that is notcommon knowledge must havea parenthetical reference. Even if the sentence is in your own words, you must still show whereyou learned the information.

  28. If you can find it, so can your instructor—especially since Valencia subscribes to SafeAssign! Ah-ha!Hereit is!

  29. So the lesson isDON’T PLAGIARIZE! The END.
