Any time the thought is not your own original thought, then you must cite it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789878 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789878 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 That's correct. Or if you wrote a paper for one class and then used it for another. https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789877 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789877 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 So if you were the original author, that's not plagiarism, but if someone else wrote then it is plagiarism. Do you see the difference? https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789876 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789876 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 Oh, that's really bad. So that paper would get an automatic zero, and you would be put on academic probation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789873 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789873 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 That's right! You can fix that with a citation after the information. https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789871 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789871 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 So if I find that you have copied someone elses answers, I give you both a zero for the assignment and call your parents https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789870 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789870 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 That's an excellent example https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789869 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789869 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 Thank you for helping Angelika! https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789868 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=789868 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 I think you mean quotation marks around a quote. But yes, it is very easy to forget. That's why it is so important to do the technical part of citing right away! Also, keeping notes helps with making sure you cite all of your quotes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/81004?scroll_to=788230 https://nowcomment.com/documents/81004?scroll_to=788230 We will work on this process more and more throughout the year. Good comment! Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 Um... yes. That's why we have plagiarism programs to detect that. https://nowcomment.com/documents/81004?scroll_to=788214 https://nowcomment.com/documents/81004?scroll_to=788214 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 It's the most basic kind of plagiarism, that's true https://nowcomment.com/documents/81004?scroll_to=788213 https://nowcomment.com/documents/81004?scroll_to=788213 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:21 -0400 So how do you avoid that? One way is to make sure you put quotation marks around it right away and put a parenthetical citation at the end! Easybib helps with this alot! https://nowcomment.com/documents/81002?scroll_to=788210 https://nowcomment.com/documents/81002?scroll_to=788210 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 Yes! Even paraphrasing or summarizing is plagiarism because you are saying it was your original thought when it was not! https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=788195 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=788195 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 So when they do that do you, it's plagiarism, but it's plagiarism when you do it to another artist, even if it's clipart! https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=788194 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=788194 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 This is interesting for several reasons. https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=782663 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80932?scroll_to=782663 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 19:59:17 -0500 It's easy to comment. Give it a try! https://nowcomment.com/documents/80048?scroll_to=776855 https://nowcomment.com/documents/80048?scroll_to=776855 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 She does!

There were options to choose from in the reading in the text book. Parallelism, Rhetorical question, repetition? https://nowcomment.com/documents/61240?scroll_to=590873 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61240?scroll_to=590873 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 The imagery points to how they have communicated and what they value.

Just curious if you think this difference is advantageous or not. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577217 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577217 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 I'm curious why you would say that? https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577216 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577216 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 Interesting insight.

So what do you think the Native Americans would have thought of taxes based on this omission and other evidence from this unit? https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577212 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577212 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 I appreciate your honesty! I thought that at first too, but it's one of those documents, that if you read it, it will somehow mean more later. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577209 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577209 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 Good connection here. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577206 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577206 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 That is an interesting analogy.

The really put a lot of thought and tradition. It makes you wonder how this transformed over the generations as it was not originally written down. It was transmitted orally. https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577203 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=577203 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 18:34:20 -0400 Scenario: A student has slammed a computer, stands up and pushes a teacher out of his way, and goes into the teachers office to remove material from his/ her desk.
