Unsure if it is a DQ – use quotes and cite
Never, ever make an exception.

Change just a few words
Change just the sentence order
Don’t put another writer’s ideas completely in your own words
Use your own words but don’t credit the author for her idea in the text and in works cited

Make sure you understand the idea.
Write your interpretation without looking at
the original text.
Reread your words and the original to
make sure they are not similar.
Credit the source in text and in
works cited.

Eastlake’s Academic Honesty Policy
“If a student violates the academic honesty policy,
regardless of intent, the sanctions include:
First Offense: Zero points, no make-up, phone
call or email to parent.
Second Offense: (in same class) Automatic
withdrawal with failing grade. Letter signed
by teacher and administrator sent to parent”
(Eastlake 13).
Consequences in college
“Students expelled from U.Va. shipboard
program for plagiarism” "No one had ever defined paraphrasing for me,"
said Routman, who said she probably will have to
extend her college career by a quarter because
she won't get credit for Semester at Sea. "It was
one of those things I'd kind of heard; I didn't think
of what it was."
Routman was found guilty of plagiarism,
and her appeal was denied (Student).
Consequences continued…
“Paul Haugh was suspended from a
private high school for plagiarism”
(Standler).
High School notified colleges that admitted
student
Student sued and lost
Student had to pay attorney fees
