Plagiarism! What is it? Can you do it unintentionally? Can you do it even if you cite? Can you plagiarize yourself?

Research Notes Don’t ever copy and paste unless you’re planning on quoting. Read a paragraph of a source and then look away to take notes – only checking specific names and dates. (Use index cards) Look up words you don’t know, and use synonyms rather than using the unknown words in your notes. Take notes using bullets, not complete sentences. If you took more than 3 or 4 words in a row, you must quote it.

Sample Paragraph Ironically, the relationship between North Korea and the United States began peacefully with the 1882 Treaty of Peace, Amity, Commerce, and Navigation. They continued this way until the end of WWII. Japan took control of Korea in 1905, so when the Japanese surrendered in 1945, Korea split at the 38th parallel. The Soviet Union took control of the North, known as the DPRK, and the U.S. took control of the South, the ROK (“U.S. Relations with North Korea”). The relationship has been deteriorating since then. Most recently, according to Tharoor from The Washington Post, the U.S. is currently dealing with threats from North Korea, including one to invade New York City. As a result, President Trump is losing patience and losing faith in the U.S. plan to be patient. Tharoor even went as far as to call North Korea a “major irritant”.
