Plagiarizing Questions


·      What did the student do wrong? What could he/ she have done to include the source correctly?
The student plagiarized from someone else’s work, and stole their words. They didn’t quote it, they just took it, and they didn’t cite their sources. Instead of just plagiarizing, the student could have paraphrased the quote into their own words. They could have also taken parts of the quote, and cited it as the quote, not taking credit as it being their own writing.

·      Write a sentence using the original source correctly; use a quotation or paraphrase. Also, make sure to cite correctly. Consult my post on citing sources.
The painting Starry Night the background that contains many hills that go up and down, behind that there is a small little village, that gives of a calm vibe. I started thinking about how the town gave off that after reading the article “A Brief Understanding the Starry Night Paintings.” In the article, the author states: “There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures.”

·      What are at least three ways to avoid plagiarizing?
1.     Quote directly
2.     Paraphrase
3.     Cite sources correctly
