What is a Works Cited Page? • The works cited list should appear at the end of your essay. • It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and be able to read any sources you cite in the essay. • Each source you cite in the essay must appear in your works-cited list; likewise, each entry in the works-cited list must be cited in your text.
Plagiarism • If a work is not cited, it is called plagiarism. • Plagiarism is taking someone’s work and passing it off as your own. • If you do not cite the information that you get, you will not get credit for the assignment.
Examples of Plagiarism • Use someone else’s ideas as your own. • Use a slightly changed statement as your own, putting your own words here and there and not giving credit. • Fail to use quotation marks around exact sentences, phrases, or even words that belong to another person.
Examples • Exchanging assignments with other students, either handwritten or computer generated, whether you believe they will be copied or not • Using summaries/commentaries (Cliffs Notes, Spark Notes, etc.) in lieu of reading the assigned materials. • Reuse your own work created previously for another class representing it as a first-time assignment.
