Summary and quotation EN112 Fall, 2009 They say/I say Hacker, D. (2009).
“Who says so?” Borrowing other people’s knowledge • Every time we use information that is not common knowledge, we need to acknowledge the source. • What is considered “common knowledge” varies with the discipline and the level of our expertise. • Competent acknowledgment of our source of information • increases our credibility • makes our paper longer • avoids plagiarism Hacker, D.

What is plagiarism? Plagiarism is a form of theft, but it is very easy to commit. • Citing or borrowing ideas without attribution is plagiarism even if you change the words • Copying words without putting quotation marks around them and naming the source is al so plagiarism • Summarizing or paraphrasing without changing the words from the original text is also plagiarism Hacker, D. (2009).
Plagiarism or not? Original: Student paper: A University of North Carolina study reported that more than 60% of Facebook users reveal personal information, opinions, family pictures, hobbies, etc. on their profile page. • “One study at the University of North Carolina, for example, found more than 60 percent of Facebook users posted their political views, relationship status, personal picture, interests and addresses” (Melber, 2008, p.95).

Plagiarism or not? Original Student paper According to Melber, one study at the University of North Carolina, for example, found more than 60 percent of Facebook users posted their political views, relationship status, personal picture, interests and addresses. “One study at the University of North Carolina, for example, found more than 60 percent of Facebook users posted their political views, relationship status, personal picture, interests and addresses” (Melber, 2008, p.95).

Summary • Ari Melber, a journalist with a degree in political science, expresses his concern that young users of Facebook are unaware of the site’s built-in privacy violations, voluntarily give up their personal information to be used by rogue predator companies, and the rapidly growing online social networking currently escapes both public or private regulation. Hacker, D. (2009).
Paraphrasing=rewriting in my words Original: Paraphrased Melber’s main concern is that nowadays all generations, no matter what age, share a huge amount of personal information online, not thinking about the consequences, and not aware of how this technology –that they seemingly control with ease to make friends—also exposes them to predators. “Young and old use it [Facebook] to divulge loads of personal information, often oblivious to the ramifications and ignorant of the basic features of the technology they use so effortlessly to socialize” (Melber, 2008, p.95). Hacker, D. (2009).
Quotation: He says, “ “ • Merkel also notices a shift in our definition of privacy. He assumes that privacy used to mean keeping information to ourselves whereas “The ‘new privacy’ is about controlling how many people know—not if anyone knows” (p.94). He quotes other experts who confirm that today’s privacy is simply a matter of how many people share the information. Hacker, D. (2009).

Avery (2000) also concluded that organic food has no superior nutritional value compared to regular food. Her study compared and chemically analyzed 5 kinds of canned vegetables. Finally, nowhere does the definition of organic food ever state the organic food is a healthier choice (Organic food, 2008). Hacker, D. (2009).
