Dear Arlenn,

After careful review of your course, PSY-6503, Assignment 7, it was determined that there is material in your paper that was not paraphrased adequately or cited properly. In any academic product, as much information as possible must be paraphrased in your own words or cited properly even if it is work from a previous paper that you wrote.

Based on your report, it appears that you did not intentionally plagiarize and as such, this will be considered an Academic Integrity Warning only. You will be allowed to correct the issues and resubmit the paper as indicated below. When working on this resubmission, take the information that was matched in the TurnItIn report (work with your professor if you need more information) and modify it, then resubmit the paper for evaluation and grading. Modification should include paraphrasing information, in your own words, used from other sources and providing appropriate citations. Paraphrasing is a skill that is vital as you continue to develop. Please use the resources in the final paragraph of this letter to enhance your paraphrasing skills.

You are required to rewrite and re-submit the paper by 8/1/21 at or before 11:59 pm AZ time. Your course will be extended to allow for resubmission and grading of the assignment. Failure to submit it within this period will result in a zero on the assignment.

Please reach out to your professor if you have questions about the submission schedule.

As a reminder:

Northcentral University considers it a serious violation of Academic Integrity to plagiarize one’s work, even unintentionally (this includes self-plagiarism). The key to academic integrity originates in the writer’s choices of how to divide his or her voice from the voices of others. Intentional plagiarism can be defined as appropriating the words or ideas of someone else and passing them off as your own.

Intentional plagiarism can include:

1. Copying entire documents and presenting them as your own;

1. Cutting and pasting from the work of others (even when you cite the source);

1. Stringing together quotes and /or ideas of others without connecting their work to your own original ideas;

1. Asserting ideas without acknowledging their sources;

1. Reproducing verbatim (or nearly verbatim) work written by others (even when citing the sources).

I want to assure you that faculty and staff of the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences and of NCU are very interested in your success in your program and pledge to provide you with tools and resources to help you achieve your academic and professional goals.
