• Plagiarism is the "wrongful appropriation" and "stealing and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions" and the representation of them as one's own original work. Plagiarism is considered academic dishonesty and a breach of journalistic ethics. It is subject to sanctions like penalties, suspension, and even expulsion.
• Without proper citations your work is plagiarism.
Commentary
• The purpose of commentary is to connect your fact to your thesis. Commentary comes from your head not from a book or webpage. Commentary is the most significant part of your paper because it is what makes a research paper yours. Think before you write…thoughtful/insightful commentary is what determines your grade.
