Special Note:Plagiarized essays–even a single sentence!–will receive a zero and may not be rewritten. Every single word, clause, sentence, and idea of your essay must be your own unless you have clearly given attribution to your sources in one or both of these ways:a. You have put borrowed words in quotation marks and have concluded the quotation with a parenthetical citation in MLA format. A Works Cited section must appear at the end of your essay, in MLA format, giving full documentation for the original source. Example: Richard Ellman explains, “Historians of literature like to regard a century as a series of ten faces, each grimacing in a different way” (422).
b. You have introduced paraphrased materials clearly with a tag and then followed with a citation. Paraphrases do not use quotation marks. Example: According to Richard Ellman, one of the world’s foremost experts in Irish literature, James Joyce set the agenda for an entire generation of modernist writers (422). These words are yours, but the idea is not, so you still must make clear attribution of your source.
c. A Works Cited section must appear at the end of your essay, in MLA format, giving full documentation for the original source.
