Number 1: I don't feel that this needs word cited information. I feel that it is okay as it is.
Number 2: This one should be cited. I think that it should be cited because it is a comment involving all Americans. So there need to be citing.
Number 3: This student needs citing for his comment. I know its seems like his opinion but the fact that he put out a percentage of 57% he need to cite where he got that information from.
Number 4: Is not cited correctly. This person needs to cite where he got the information from. It sounds like a opinion, and it also need to be quoted. It wouldn't be plagiarism if he quoted what Martin Luther King said and cited where he got the information from.
Number 5: I believe is cited correctly. He/She cited at the end with the title of were he got the information from, as well as the paragraph that he got the information from. He also put quotation marks from the information he chose from the article of where he got the info. I think it is cited correctly.
Number 6: was not cited at all. Yes they quoted what information they got from somewhere but there is no indication of what they got the information from.
Number 7: does not need to be cited. Its not necessary.
Number 8: I'm not sure about this one, because you can argue that it is just someone's comment vs. citing our rights as Americans. I'm really not sure.
Hi, Ashley:
ReplyDeleteYou did a nice job working through the exercise and demonstrating your understanding of how to avoid plagiarism. It can be tricky so I always say if you aren't sure, cite it. Even common knowledge is less common then you think and your argument gains gravity from citing the Bill of Rights and indicating you know where that idea came from.
I'll check back in and see your summary.
Cheers,
Andrea
