Plagiarizism

Answers to Questions:

1.What did the student do wrong? What could he/she have done to include the source correctly?

This student copied word for word from the website this student read from. This person also wrote down words that are complex, words that we don't use. This person could've put what source he's using the quote from, then put the quote.

2.Write a sentence using the original source correctly; use a quotation or paraphrase. Also, make sure to cite correctly. Consult my post on citing sources.

In,"A Brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings"(unknown Author), there is a part where the author described the art work, "Whether or not this religious inspiration is true, it is known that the piece is not the only Starry Sky painting that Van Gogh ever created".

3. What are at least 3 ways to avoid plagiarizing?

*Cite a quote if using one
*write a cited quotes part in the essay
*Write the essay in your own words
