WARNING: Cite all sources used in your responses. Any instance of plagiarism
can have detrimental consequences on your exam grade and/or final grade. No
more than 10% of your writing should consist of quotes from other sources. The
vast majority of your work should be your own original analysis. Paraphrase what
you read instead of quoting. Also, review PLAGIARISM.ORG, as this shows that a
paper that consists of quotes strung together is not original and is plagiarism.
Using too many quotes will bump you into this category.
