Plagiarism All work must
be free of any form of plagiarism. Put written answers into your own words. Do
not simply cut and paste your answers from the Internet and do not copy your
answers from the textbook. Plagiarism consists of taking and using the ideas,
writings or inventions of another, without giving credit to that person and
presenting it as one’s own. This is an offense that the university takes very
seriously. An example of a correctly prepared written response may be found by
visiting the Coast Connection student portal. You can find this in the portal
by clicking on Student Resources and then Writing Basics. Citation Styles The
majority of your response should be your own original writing based on what you
have learned from the textbook. However, students may also use outside
materials if applicable. Be sure to provide a citation and a reference for any
materials used, including the required textbook. The following points are
designed to help you understand how to provide proper citations and references
for your work: • Sources are listed in two places.
• The first, a citation, is briefly listed
within your answer. This includes identifying information that directs the
reader to your list of references at the end of your writing assignment. • The
second, a reference, is at the end of your work in the list of references
section. • All sources cited should follow APA style and provide enough
identifying information so that the reader can access the original material.
More detailed information about citations and references can be located on the
Coast Connection student portal. You can find this in the portal by clicking on
Student Resources and then Writing Lab.
The source of your information and facts need
to be properly cited within the essay with an in-text short citation, i.e.
(author’ last name, year, page number), and with formatted references /
bibliographies at the end. This directs the reader to the page in the cited
source / text and read what you referenced. **Try to develop a form and style
when citing your work.
