CITATIONS and PARENTHETICAL DOCUMENTATION

Cheating is not accepted!

Part of the research process is finding proper, educational, and worth while sources that will help your analysis.

Plagerism is Against School Rules and Dishonest

People understand that cheating is not accepted, however, a lot of students do not understand that plagiarism in a paper is cheating.  It is not your information or analysis.  If it is not cited correctly in your paper, it is assumed it is your information, if it is not, it is a zero because of academic integrity.  

So, how do you know when to cite and when not too?  The simple answer is always error on the side putting in a citation.  


How Can Students Avoid Plagiarism?
To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use

  • another person’s idea, opinion, or theory;
  • any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings—any pieces of information—that are not common knowledge;
  • quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words; or
  • paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.
