A Note about Proper Acknowledging Sources and Cheating

If you quote or paraphrase a source in your paper you have to put that source in parentheses just after the quote or paraphrase: e.g., (Angus and Langsdorf, 1993, page xx), or (Journalist, 1997, page xx). "Borrowing" text from a source, either literally or in paraphrase, without proper acknowledgment is called plagiarism and is fraudulent and unethical, and could lead to a failing grade! It is easy to find out whether you have done this by using various search engines, like Google or CompletePlanet.

Plagiarism should be avoided. See this link on what is plagiarism:

If in doubt ask the instructor!
