A SPECIAL NOTE TO STUDENTS WRITING ASSIGNED PAPERS: You should for your own protection
familiarize yourself with your own academic instution's standards regarding giving due credit where
credit is due, by giving citations to sources you have used and/or quoted from; using whatever standard-forms your
institution and/or professors may require. Failing to do so may make you guilty of what is called "plagerism".
This web site, and resources referenced above, are not in control of the standards which will likely affect you if
you violate the standards. The following web sites may, however help you to begin to get-the-overall-picture
that you need to be aware of. Modern professors can use modern technologies to discover where you got texts you used, but
which you make no reference to in a proper way! If your paper looks too-good-to-be-yours, they can probably find out
where you got the "good" texts you included in your own report/paper/essay. The consequences can be devastating to you!
