Do. Not. Plagiarize.

If you are not clear on what plagiarism is and how NOT to plagiarize from a source, read through this entire webpage from Capital Community College in Connecticut.

All of it. Including the examples.

My suggestion:

Do not throw everything out. Do not start over from scratch.

Go through what you have written and revise every single sentence that has copied words, phrases, and clauses in it. Then be ready to give credit to the websites or books or ?? from which you got those ideas. Even though you revise them so they're in your own words, they are still not your original ideas; they need to be cited.

Follow the directions for citations here:

You need to have each source of information cited in TWO places:

1. the Works Cited page that is placed after the last page of your paper, and
2. in parentheses in the text of your paper, immediately after the quotation or paraphrase.

For example, this would go on the Works Cited page (with proper indentation for the second and following lines):

Du Bois, W.E.B. The Souls of Black Folk. Chicago, 1903. Project Bartleby. Ed. Steven van Leeuwen. Dec. 1995. Columbia U. 2 Dec. 2003
<www.cc.columbia.edu/acis/bartleby/dubois/>.

... and this would go immediately after the quotation or whatever:
(Du Bois)

The information in parentheses in the text needs to be as brief as possible. That's why there's a Works Cited page – for all the details of the listing.

These are good places for information on citing in MLA format:

Hold your cursor over the words CITING SOURCES in the left column of the second webpage above, and then click on whatever type of source you need help with. Many examples will show up. You will get two examples for each type of reference – one for the Works Cited page and one for the parenthetical (in-text) citation.

You can also see what a Works Cited page looks like – click on Sample Works Cited in the left column.

Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's words, ideas, or work without giving them proper credit. It is important to avoid plagiarism and to give proper credit to the original sources you use in writing or any other form of work.

To avoid plagiarism, you should always cite your sources and properly attribute any quotes, paraphrases, or summaries you use from external sources. Citing sources helps to acknowledge the original author or creator of the information and allows readers to locate the original source to verify the information or gain more knowledge on the topic.

In the case of the two links you provided, if you want to use information from these sources for your own work, you should read through the information and understand the main points or arguments being made. Then, you can incorporate the information into your own writing while making sure to paraphrase or summarize it in your own words.

When paraphrasing, it is important to rephrase the information completely to avoid copying the original text. You can use synonyms, change the sentence structure, or add your own explanation or analysis to demonstrate your understanding.

Using proper citation styles, such as MLA or APA, is crucial in giving credit to the original sources. Each citation style has specific rules and guidelines regarding how to format citations for different types of sources (e.g., books, websites, articles). Make sure to consult the appropriate citation style guide or use citation generators available online to create accurate citations.

By following these principles and ensuring that you acknowledge and provide proper credit to the original sources you use, you can avoid plagiarism and respect the work of others.
