plagiarism, and now the internet is making that possible for

implications of “patch writing”?

Direct Quote: In-text citation
Obesity was once considered “either a
moral failing or evidence of underlying
psychopathology” (Yanovski and
Yanovski, 2002, p. 592).
A relationship is defined as “the
interdependence between two or more
people” (Coombs, 2001, p.106).
Direct Quote: In-text citation
Longer than 40 words?
Indented five spaces from left margin in
block format
Usually it is better to paraphrase
The wrong way to paraphrase:
Failure to Cite Source
Original
“They desire, for example, virtue and the absence of vice, no less really than pleasure and the absence of pain.”
Source: Mill, John Stuart. “Utilitarianism.” On Liberty and Other Essays. New York: Oxford University Press, 1998. Quote is from page 169.
Paraphrase
People want
morality just as much
as they want
happiness.
The wrong way to paraphrase:
Lack of Significant Rewording Original
“To the young American architects who made the pilgrimage, the most dazzling figure of all was Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus School.”
Source: Wolfe, Tom. From Bauhaus to Our House. New York: Farrar Straus Giroux, 1981. Quote is from page 10.
Paraphrase
To young American
architects who went
to Germany, the
most dazzling figure
was Walter Gropius,
founder of the
Bauhaus School
(Wolfe, 1981).
Paraphrase: In-text citation Original
America today has veered too far in the direction of formal testing without adequate consideration of the costs and limitations of an exclusive emphasis on that approach.
Paraphrase
In the United States, the education system places too much emphasis on formal testing, overlooking the limitations and expenses imposed when that assessment strategy is employed exclusively (Gardner, 1993).
Paraphrase: In-text citation Original
The Republican Convention of 1860 … is sometimes seen as a symbol of Whig triumph within the party. A closer look, however, indicates that the Whig’s triumph within the party was of a very tentative nature.”
Paraphrase
Contrary to many historians, Eric Foner(1995)argues that the Republican platform of 1860 should not be understood as an indication of Whig dominance of the party.
