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.
