Avoiding Plagiarism

Please note that as you move forward with your discussion question, class participation and assignment responses it is important for you to have a detailed understanding of the manner in which your assignments must be presented in order to avoid plagiarism.

1. Assignments must be written in your own words and not presented as a large block of information that is copied from another source to include the \”Internet\”.

2. Responses must be properly cited and referenced based on the 6th edition APA guidelines as it relates to “in-text” citations, quotations, reference page etc…

3. A copy and paste of web links on your reference page will lead to plagiarism.

4. Not citing and referencing your source (s) in the body of your response will result in plagiarism.

5. Guessing that your “in-text” citation and references are properly formatted will also lead to plagiarism, because as your reader I will not be able to locate and verify your source. This would be equivalent to someone giving you an incorrect street or home address.

6. Using an author or writer\’s words as quotations in 90% of your assignment will lead to plagiarism. Each student should paraphrase, summarize and then cite and reference the source instead of using the author\’s information word -for -word. This would not allow me to verify a student\’s understanding of the weekly content.
