Based upon your reading on plagiarism, why do you think we need to cite our sources?

Hello class,

Plagiarism is a no-no. I said it last unit, and I will say it over and over. We must site our sources because we must give credit as due. How would you like it if someone took something that was yours and claimed it as their own? Talk about a law suit. Beyond not being fair, you can't get credit if it's not yours. This is why we must use original work and cite our sources. I knew someone in high school that took their older sister's research paper from years before, and turned it in as their own. Little did the student know, the teacher remembered the student's sister, therefore catching a little deja vu. She knew she had read this paper before. She was right. After much research, the teacher caught My friend got suspended. Cite your sources, because if it is someone else's "property" or "idea", keep it that way. Play nice!

See everyone at seminar tonight.
