Writing Myths

Аннотация

"NOT ANOTHER PLAGIARIZED PAPER," 1 thought to myself as I graded a set of academic research essays. The assignment in this particular case was to write an argumentative essay using information from at least two of three sources that we had read in class. The problem wasn't that the whole paper was plagiarized. In this paper, as in other students' papers, certain clauses or other large chunks of words had been lifted from the original readings and inserted into the student's paper.
