Plagiarism Quiz In order to pass ENG 1113
and ENG 1213, you must make a perfect score on this quiz. You may take the
quiz as many times as necessary by the date designated in Cruiser under My
Assignments. To submit answers, simply
number a document 1-10 and write down the letter choice for each answer,
submitting that under the MY ASSIGNMENT for this quiz. Plagiarism is the
undocumented use in your work of someone else’s ideas and words. These can be
plagiarized from books, magazines, recordings, speeches, newspapers,
etc. Whether intentional or
accidental, plagiarism is a problem because the reader cannot distinguish
between original and referenced material. Your handbook defines plagiarism further and gives you tips for avoiding it. Please
read the sections on plagiarism in your handbook (check under “plagiarism” in
the index). Use that information, plus the section on MLA documentation, to
answer the questions on this quiz. In this class, we use the
MLA style of documentation to credit words or ideas of other people we
incorporate into our work. Documentation requires two components:
parenthetical documentation (also called in-text citation) and works cited list. Please read and consult your handbook to
not only answer questions on this quiz, but also to write your papers. We incorporate outside
sources into our papers by quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing. You will need to pay close attention to the
format and rules concerning short, long, and indirect source quotations. Your handbook discusses all three ways of
incorporating sources. You will need to know the differences between them in
order to answer the questions on this quiz. Correct documentation requires
attention to details. Please take your time to read each question thoroughly. Questions refer to the
following excerpt from Mark Twain’s book Extracts
from Adam’s Diary about Adam and Eve first getting to know each other: Friday: The naming goes recklessly on, in spite of anything I can
do. I had a very good name for the estate, and it was musical and
pretty--GARDEN-OF-EDEN. Privately, I continue to call it that, but
not any longer publicly. The new creature says it is all woods and rocks and scenery, and therefore
has no resemblance to a garden. Says
it looks like a park, and does not look like anything but a park. Consequently, without consulting me, it has
been new-named--NIAGARA FALLS PARK. This is sufficiently high-handed, it seems
to me. And already there is a sign up:
My life is not as happy as it was.
