Welcome!
“Plagiarism occurs when a student, with intent to deceive or with reckless disregard for proper scholarly procedures, presents any information, ideas, or phrasing of another as if they were his or her own and does not give appropriate credit to the original source. ...Students are responsible for learning proper scholarly procedure.”
The William & Mary Student Handbook
What Is Plagiarism?
● Citing sources shows respect for the person who developed the idea
● It is important for future readers to be able to trace the development of an idea or a body of information
● Writing is a conversation!
Why Documentation Matters
● Quotations: using someone else’s exact words
● Paraphrasing: summarizing someone else’s ideas or findings in your own words

Disillusioned, Cullen proudly pledges to fight for their “freedom”
since he believes England oppresses Scotland (Tey 127). Laura
and Grant agree, though, that “the possibility of being ruled from
Glasgow” would be “a fate worse than death” (44).
Some anthropologists claim that humans perform rituals in
specified locations, which suggests a separation from day-to-day
practices (Turner 1100).
MLA Sample Citations
Victor Turner, an influential voice on the concept of ritual in functionalist
anthropological theory, describes “ritual” with the following definition:
A stereotyped sequence of activities involving gestures, words, and objects,
performed in a sequestered place, and designed to influence preternatural
entities or forces on behalf of the actors’ goals and interests. Rituals may be
seasonal. (1100)
Gluckman furthers this interpretation of ritual by identifying and explaining

Machiavelli then goes on to state,
It is not essential, then, that a Prince should have all the good qualities which I have enumerated above, but it is most essential that he should seem to have that I will even venture to affirm that if he has and invariably practices them all, they are hurtful, whereas the appearance of having them is useful.1
This highly controversial statement gives critics greater reason to condemn
Machiavelli because he suggests that a prince should not always abide by

Werking (1997) argues that “in American culture, adult women
and men are expected to form romantic bonds rather than
platonic bonds with one another” (p. 3), suggesting
heterosexuality is a cultural norm.
Such people perceive these friendships as “undercover
relationships” (Werking, 1997, p. 40) that are simply waiting to
be revealed.

The American Psychological Association style is a difficult
citation format for first-time learners (Jones, 1998, p. 199).
According to Jones (1998), APA style is a difficult citation format
for first-time learners.
APA Sample Citations
Jones’s (1998) study found the following:
Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially
when it was their first time citing sources. This difficulty
could be attributed to the fact that many students failed to
purchase a style manual or to ask their teacher for help.
(p. 199)
Jones suggests, then, that students struggle to use APA
style more
