Plagiarism

Warning!

I will submit many of your assignments to Turnitin.com, an Internet service that checks your work against an extensive database of Internet materials as well as a database constructed from my assignments that have been handed in before in this class. Assignments that are copied will receive zeroes.

I realize that some students plagiarize unintentially. They don't seem to understand that using someone else words without clearly showing that the words are not yours by using quotations marks and proper citation is plagiarism. You can see an example of such Unconscious Plagiarism by following this link.
