Document Summary

Comments about the papers: most contained good ideas, insights, thoughts, vast majority lacked presentation. Issue #1: plagarism used information from lectures/material without citing it. If you are using any thing from a source that is not you. If your own idea, find an source that shows your thought. Attributing properly means to use citations, reference, quotes; references needed; many used verbatim without references again plagiarism. Major problem: when unreferenced material is 10-15 points were deducted. Next one will be 50-100 points depending on lack of referencing. Long list of interet sources quality of sources matter as the quality of sources determine quality of paper. You have 0 credibility until you establish it. Writing an academic paper is like selling a new car, tough sell. Need to really sell the stuff by having strong logically organized arguments quoted with material or sources that are bullet-proof: format style.
