Gabriel, Trip. “Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in the Digital Age.” nytimes.com. The New York Times, 1 Aug 2010. Web. 14 Feb. 2012. <http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/02/education/02cheat.html>
• 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?
How is this video connected
to the previous library sessions
on learning how to research?
Is it connected to plagiarism?
Why or why not?
If ideas come from multiple
people working together and
building off of each other,
when you try to give credit,
who do you give it to?
How can you stay
connected/current/organize
d while doing your research?
Eureka!

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).
