Plagiarism   and Logic Self-Check

 

 Prepare

• As you prepare to write your first discussion for this      week, take a few moments to do the following: 

• Read Chapter 4, Section 4.3 in the textbook.
• Read the AWC’s Guidelines for Paraphrasing Sources and Integrating Quotes Into Your Essay.
• Review the AWC’s Recognizing Plagiarism       and Avoiding Plagiarism.
• Review the Turnitin Student FAQ, available in class       under “Learning Resources”

Reflect

• Before drafting your initial post, take time to reflect      on everything you’ve learned about argument, logic, and fallacy over the      last month. Reread your draft with an eye on logic and make note of any      fallacies you catch or claims that lack support.
• Take another look at your draft with an eye on your use      of outside sources. Keep an eye out for missing quotation marks, poorly      paraphrased information, and in-text citations. Make note of any errors or      concerns you discover. Utilize the Turnitin tool to help you review your      work.

Write (due Thursday, Day 3)

• In 200 to 300 words, share your plagiarism and logic      self-check experience. Describe your process and the items you uncovered      during your review. In a few sentences, explain how you will correct the      issues and ask questions if you need help or advice. You may also share      some of your best quotes, paraphrases, and logical passages with the      class. Be sure to explain why your chosen sections are “the best,” and how      this process will influence your work in the future.

Guided Response (due Monday, Day 7)

• In 125 to 200 words each, respond to at least two      classmates. In each response, provide answers and advice to your      classmate. Relate your plagiarism and logic self-check experience to the      experience your classmate has described. Consider the similarities,      differences, and outcomes between the two.
