Profile

Significance of the Study

Are the following examples of intentional plagiarism, unintentional plagiarism, or correct ethical use of sources? Why?
Mia cites a piece of information that turns out to be common knowledge.
Braden wants to use a particular source that supports his claim, but the library doesn’t have it, so he chooses another
source to use instead and cites that.
Both A and B are examples of correct ethical use of sources, because it is never wrong to cite a source that doesn’t
need it, and because Braden cited his new source correctly.

Based on the rhetorical context of the following source, would you include it in your research essay? Why or why not?
The purpose of this text is to sell services, as evidenced by the tabs across the top, so any claims made on this site are
suspect. This is not a good source for a research essay.
Based on what you know about evaluating sources for your task, which of the following sources is most likely to be the
most useful for a research essay about state vs. federal power in U.S. government?
The Declaration of Independence.
A list of reasons called “Why we need to destroy the federal government,” found on a personal blog titled “Neo-
Conservative Thought” and published three months ago.
A story about one man’s struggle to avoid paying federal income tax, published in the popular magazine People.
A, because even though it’s old, it’s an important primary source that frames this entire debate.

Evaluate the first page of this student’s paper, focusing on MLA document format and page layout.

The title, top three lines, and page numbers are all formatted incorrectly.

Evaluate these two students’ strategies to avoid plagiarism. Which one is more effective and why?
Bryony looks up all the authors she is going to cite to make sure they are credentialled. She also plans on using mostly
quotes instead of paraphrases or summaries, since they are easier to check for accuracy.
Candice plans to use a reference management website for her note-taking, and she checks with her professor if she’s
not sure if a piece of information needs a citation or not.
Candice’s system is more effective because it solves the root problems of plagiarism.

While peer-reviewing another student’s essay, you notice that he has quoted six lines from a book. What should you
look for to make sure the quote and in-text citation are formatted correctly?
Check to see if the material is formatted as a block quotation. It should be indented more and should lack quotation
marks. The in-text citation should come after the period.

Why are citation and formatting styles necessary for academic writing?
These styles serve our readers’ interests, by clearly identifying where scholarly resources are incorporated so that
they can be found and consulted easily

You are writing a research paper arguing that elementary school educators should be concerned about increased

using them along with Google Scholar.

You want to find sources on your essay topic, the role of the vice president in deciding national security matters. You
