#EDUC 1300: First Year Experience

• you've quoted someone/something
• you've paraphrased
• you've summarized a big idea

• adds authority to your claims
• gives credit to the source (i.e. avoids plagiarism)
• helps your reader track down info for themselves

• Follow the style guide for your class (usually MLA, sometimes APA, rarely CMOS).
• Citations = (in-text) + (works cited page)
• If you're quoting, get that in-text citation in.
• If you're paraphrasing from the same sources for multiple sentences, you can wait until the last one to cite.
  • But make sure you've cited by the end of the paragraph!
• Include a specific page number or time stamp as needed. Webpages that don't have page numbers might give a paragraph number instead.

Passing off work you didn't do as your own

• Includes: buying papers online; having someone rewrite chunks of your paper; failing to include citations; copy/pasting content without citing or marking inside quotes; turning in work that may be cited but is mostly others' words; turning in an assignment for a different class without making any changes
• Consequences at LSC will be defined in each syllabus for your classes but may include: failing the assignment; being given additional make-up work; failing the class; being expelled
