...necessary to place citations throughout the written work text, but only on the reference page. This occurs when the individual is unfamiliar with the APA guidelines. Lack of knowledge of the subject due to students procrastinating. Procrastination does not allow for the student to thoroughly research the subject to ensure that the ideas are solely his or her own. Procrastination can cause a student to plagiarize by copying and pasting the information that is found. This practice can also cause a student to purchase the work of others from different sources. Intentional versus Unintentional Plagiarism Intentional plagiarism occurs when an individual knowingly uses the work of another as his or her own. A common form of intentional plagiarism is copying and pasting from multiple sources to construct a source and not giving the authors credit. Unintentional plagiarism occurs when an individual uses a series of words from a source and does not credit the author. A common form of unintentional plagiarism is rearranging the information that another author wrote by changing or omitting words (APA, 2010, pg. 171). Students sometimes forget to provide an in text citation, but place the source on the reference page. Even though this act...

...using the Case Study Template below. The information should be obtained from the book, Rosa Lee: A Mother and Her Family in Urban America, but written in a clinical style. You should still be using proper APA style citing and quoting to indicate that this information is from the book. Hence, frequent citing of Dash (1996) is expected—and proper quoting if you use direct wording from this book. Although this is practice for professional writing, this is an academic assignment, thus proper citing throughout is expected. Not properly citing/quoting is a form of plagiarism. Include an APA style title page before the template and include an APA style reference page as well. Please note that on the Case Study Template there is a section for psychosocial information; developmental, family, and current functioning. You are to use information given in this biography of Rosa Lee to complete the psychosocial section. In addition, the Case Study Template has sections requiring you to address the person’s attitude, social functioning, occupational functioning, financial functioning, family history, legal history, and health and spiritual functioning of the person chosen for assessment. You are then prompted by the Case Study Template to give a diagnostic impression by ascertaining if this person is in use, abuse, or an addictive cycle and if there are any co-occurring issues. You will use the psychosocial information, as well as all other information ascertained using...

...University Learning and Information Services Accurate and consistent referencing is essential in all academic work. Whenever you refer to either the work or ideas of someone or are influenced by another's work, you must acknowledge this. Similarly if you use a direct quotation from someone's work this should be referred to accurately. There are a number of systems of referencing. This guide offers detailed guidance based on a range of British and international standards for producing references and bibliographies according to the Harvard method. You may be asked to use another system, such as a numeric system or to use a different version of the Harvard method. If this is the case, please refer to your course handbook or tutors for guidance. This guide does not cover the use of footnotes as these are not used in the Harvard method. You can search this document or use the contents list below Contents: What is referencing?

...MLA Style: Citing Sources and Formatting Not only does a good research paper include thorough research and thoughtful analysis, it follows specific rules for citing sources and formatting. This brief guide will illustrate how to correctly reference your sources and set up your paper. Connections Education® students should use Modern Language Association (MLA) style for citing sources and formatting. MLA style is commonly used in many middle and high schools as well as in colleges and universities across the country. The MLA publishes the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. This is a very useful book, as it goes into great depth explaining the steps for writing a paper. The book is available at most bookstores, and your local library likely has copies. If you run into an issue, such as citing a source that is not covered in this guide, it is best to find the proper way of citing your source by consulting the MLA Handbook or by asking your teacher. This guide covers the basics for formatting and citing sources. However, always follow the specific guidelines presented by your teacher. For instance, if you want to incorporate pictures or other images into your paper, ask your teacher about the best way to do this. Depending on your teacher’s preference, images could be included within the body of the paper or in an appendix. Formatting Your Paper 1 Here are some basic steps for setting up your paper. 1.

...plain lazy and don’t want to go through the creative process, exerting the meticulous hard work that good writing requires. There are students that suffer from poor time management skills failing to realize the amount of study and research required to deliver a genuine analysis. Likewise there are those that persist in poor note taking habits, leaving out important bits of information here and there causing confusion when it’s time to put it all together. Additionally there are students who are unaware of proper citation technique (What is Plagiarism?, n.d.). Meanwhile, plagiarism falls into one of two categories, one is intentional plagiarism, and the other is unintentional plagiarism. In the case of intentional plagiarism the writer or student knowingly uses the work of someone else, without citing the source or giving credit to the original author, to include internet paper mills, and commonly take place in the case of the lazy student or when the student has poor time management habits (College Board, 2012). This type of plagiarism becomes even more attractive through the massive amount of information offered on the internet. Unintentional plagiarism...

Module 2 discussion When I took a humanity class in college, there were two male students who were friends with each other that sat behind me. They were quietly and actively involved during the class discussion and created a pleasant mood. However, during an exam, their voices were loud enough to be heard by me and other students. One female student, C, who sat next me had strongly adverse feelings about their cheating and she wanted us to go to the professor and talk about them together. However, I didn’t because I felt kind of embarrassed reporting the classmates to the professor and did not mind it since it would not have affected my grade anyway. In addition, their voice was loud enough for the whole class to hear, so I guessed that the professor already knew about them and might punish their behavior later. C reported them after the end of...

...abstracted, or quoted from. It prescribes methods for citing references within the text, providing a list of works cited at the end of the paper, and even formatting headings and margins. Different academic disciplines use different documentation styles; your instructor may require you to use a particular style, or may allow you use. Furthermore, documentation styles allow you to give credit for secondary sources you have used in writing your paper. Citing sources not only gives credit where it's due, but also allows your reader to locate the sources you have consulted. In short, the reader of your paper must be able to use the information you provide, both in the text and in appended list(s), to duplicate the research you have done. The APA style manual is used in the behavioral and social sciences. It is a clean, clear, simple style of presentation with its own set of rules of punctuation, headings, chart structure, and citation of sources that is used world-wide. The APA approach covers all aspects of writing. It guides the structural and stylistic components of all papers. The scientific paper attempts to show something that has already been verified true, so it calls for the past or present perfect tense when you cite the work of others.
