Academic Honesty
Protect yourself from plagiarism. In scholarly writing, you are welcome and encouraged to use secondary sources. You should be citing our course readings, and are welcome to cite any other articles that you research on your own, though additional research is not required for this exam. Please do include a works cited page and include in-text citations for any quotes or paraphrases. If you read any secondary or tertiary sources you do not cite in your exam, you must cite them in an additional works consulted page. If you are concerned about citations, I recommend turning in your exam early and viewing your VeriCite source. As long as it isn’t past the due date, you may make any appropriate corrections and resubmit.
