Since the end of the semester is almost here I'm guessing that more than a few of you have a paper or two due in the next week.
Plagiarism is a persistent topic in today's day and age because it's too easy to copy and paste your paper together. In case you don't know, that is NOT a good way to write a paper. Turn It In is a website dedicated to the issue of plagiarism: what counts as plagiarizing, what doesn't, why it isn't ok, plus guidelines and suggestions for walking that fine line between copying, re-wording and original ideas from you. They also have a printable handout for you to refer to.
Do yourself a favor and check this website out! It could save you some serious headaches!
