• What does intellectual property mean to you? Is it an important idea, why or why not?
• With so much information out there, is there such a thing as an original idea? Does that mean you have to credit every single person?
• How does plagiarism affect academia?

OR A relationship is defined as “the
interdependence between two or more people” (Coombs, 2001, p.106).
Direct Quote: In-text citation Longer than 40 words?
Indented five spaces from left margin in block format
Usually it is better to paraphrase
Paraphrase: In-text citation Original America today has
veered too far in the direction of formal testing without adequate consideration of the costs and limitations of an exclusive emphasis on that approach.
Paraphrase In the United States,
the education system places too much emphasis on formal testing, overlooking the limitations and expenses imposed when that assessment strategy is employed exclusively (Gardner, 1993).
Paraphrase: In-text citation Original The Republican
Convention of 1860 … is sometimes seen as a symbol of Whig triumph within the party. A closer look, however, indicates that the Whig’s triumph within the party was of a very tentative nature.”
Paraphrase Contrary to many
historians, Eric Foner argues that the Republican platform of 1860 should not be understood as an indication of Whig dominance of the party (1995).

the same last name, use the first initial in the citation (Smith, A., 2002)
If you have more than one work in the same year by the same author, use letters a, b, c, etc. to indicate correct source (Entman, 2004a)
