Start Early!
Please read on for more details and check out "Papers & Essays: Crash Course" below!
Criteria
1. You will write a 2-3 page paper + a Works Cited page, double-spaced, 12 point font.
2. Your paper must be in proper MLA or APA Format, with works cited and in-text citations. Not including citations is plagiarism and will result in a penalty to your grade or more serious consequences depending upon the severity. Your paper will be processed through turnitin.com, the CourseDen plagiarism checker.
3. The accepted level of similarity is 10%, allowing for your bibliography and a quote or two at most. Anything above 25% will be scrutinized very closely. Do NOT copy and paste passages from the Internet. You WILL be penalized heavily.
4. You can process your paper through any number of online plagiarism checkers before submitting your paper in GoView. You can submit your paper to any one of the MANY free online plagiarism checkers to get a rough idea of where your paper will fall as far as percentages. (Don't pay for a subscription. There are lots of free ones if you "Google" "free plagiarism checker.")
5. I have set the Dropbox folder to allow you to see your similarity report (like I see,) so that you can see what needs to be edited.
