Week 12- Plagiarism

1. Score = 2. The writer is cherry picking the original text to provide evidence convenient to his/her argument. This is misleading to the reader and the meaning and integrity of the original source is lost.

2. Score = -3. The writer cites Joseph Ellis, but does not provide a citation for his assertion about George Washington and slavery.

3. Score = -1. The writer provides citations at the end of the paragraph but Joseph Ellis' ideas are not properly credited in the paragraph. It's hard to tell where the original source ideas end and where the writer's ideas begin.

4. Score = -4. The writer uses whole sentences verbatim from the original text without citing or giving credit to the source.

5. Score = 5. The author quotes the original text appropriately and clearly indicates their own ideas from the source ideas. The writer re-applies the source in a new context and adds value to the source's conclusion by forming the writers own argument.
