Papers originally submitted late may not be re-submitted. Much good writing borrows ideas from other writers. If you depend on someone else s work, you should give them proper credit. Using someone else s work in your writing without giving them proper credit is called plagiarism , and it is a serious violation of academic standards. There are several different formal styles of documenting and giving credit to sources.
Different disciplines use different styles.
Papers for this course do not need to use any one style, but it would be a good idea to become familiar with one of them. In any event, if you quote, paraphrase, summarize, or otherwise refer to the work of another author, you must indicate in some way that you are borrowing ideas. A plagiarized paper for example, one that copies or paraphrases passages from someone else without giving proper credit will receive a zero. If you have questions about these guidelines or any other aspects of feel free to ask Amy or me. Consult A Writer s Reference , or other writing handbooks.
