  1. Works Cited The Paper Trail And Avoiding Plagiarism

  2. Step 1 When making your notes keep track of the source and specific pages as needed. There’s nothing quite like spending an hour or two at three in the morning trying to track down a particular passage in a book. And how do I know this you might ask… Hopefully you have done this as discussed.

  3. Step 2 Go to a Biblography Construction resource like “Bibme”, follow the instructions, and construct your bibliography. http://www.bibme.org/ (there are others as well)

  4. Step 3 Find the appropriate reference in Research And Documentation Online (excellent material) For instance…

  5. First Resource I used http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EverythingsWorseWithBears

  6. Specific Reference Type

  7. Strategy Basic rules for print and online sources The MLA system of in-text citations, which depends heavily on authors’ names and page numbers, was created with print sources in mind. Although many online sources have unclear authorship and lack page numbers, the basic rules are the same for both print and online sources. The models in this section (items 1–5) show how the MLA system usually works and explain what to do if your source has no author or page numbers. • 1. Author named in a signal phrase Ordinarily, introduce the material being cited with a signal phrase that includes the author’s name. In addition to preparing readers for the source, the signal phrase allows you to keep the parenthetical citation brief. • Frederick Lane reports that employers do not necessarily have to use software to monitor how their employees use the Web: employers can “use a hidden video camera pointed at an employee’s monitor” and even position a camera ”so that a number of monitors [can] be viewed at the same time” (147). • The signal phrase — Frederick Lane reports — names the author; the parenthetical citation gives the page number of the book in which the quoted words may be found. • Notice that the period follows the parenthetical citation. When a quotation ends with a question mark or an exclamation point, leave the end punctuation inside the quotation mark and add a period at the end of your sentence: “. . .?” (8).

  8. Guiding Principle Is there a clear link from the reference in your discussion, to a clearly marked item in your List of Works Cited? If there is good. If there isn’t then you need to clarify or add a “signal phrase”

  9. My List

  10. Is it Clear? In order to understand this problem let’s start with the way that the media constructs the bear: a quick search of “TVTropes” and online database maintained to keep track of the stereotypes and archetypes reveals that a number of stereotypical images of the bear show up in the media, such as the “momma bear” (the “Don’t’ Mess with My Kids” stereotype), and the “Everything is Worse with Bears” stereotype that depicts bears as goofy creatures capable of doing things like robbing people in cars of their McDonalds food, and ”emerging from the wilderness to terrorize a small town by spelling out "Pepsi" in a distinctly "YMCA"-style dance. The richest bear categories at TVTropes though, “Beary Funny”, tracks the perpetuation of the bear as “funny” and “loveable.”

  11. Books Provide a page number at the end of passages cited. Thus for instance, Strauss points out in his book “Tales with Tails”:”Oneof the problems in telling anthropomorphic tales is that we may forget that animals don’t really think, feel, or act exactly the way humans do.“(57) He then explains that “In society today, possibly because of antiscientific folktale and media images of wildlife our lack of experience with real wild animals, children and adults seem to be less cautious around wild animals than they were in the past. “ And we have become incautious: Strauss describes how “ There have been cases in recent years in which people have approached grizzly bears in national parks so they could photograph the bears. In other cases, park visitors have tried to hand-feed black bears and deer. In some cases these wild animals began to expect handouts. They approached and even injured park visitors who did not feed them.(58)

  12. Guiding Principles • Is it clear who said it and or where it came from • Is there a clear link back to the reference that will point out where this specific resource can be found.

  13. Plagiarism: The Difference Between a “Minor Oversight” and a “Crime” Dumb Stuff: • I forgot to include a Works Cited Reference to Life Of PI. This is an oversight and sticklers would mark me down for this. But it is not plagiarism as I clearly attributed the statements being made. • If I had included these same statements and NOT indicated where they came from as I wrote my paper I would be guilty of plagiarism. This is not an oversight: it’s an academic crime. Don’t do this. Always attribute ideas and passages to their authors.
