Having read Julie J.C.H. Ryan’s essay, “Student Plagiarism in the Online World,” you are to use Ryan’s essay as the primary source for the Research Essay One assignment.
The topic for this 1000-word-minimum Research Essay One assignment is: Student Plagiarism.
(Along with introducing the topic and presenting your thesis and key points in the introduction paragraph of this assignment, you are to properly reference Ryan’s essay so that your reader understands it is the primary source for this essay.)
While you are to use source material from Ryan’s essay to support your thesis and key points, you will also need to conduct research to identify at least two other sources that you will use as source material to support your thesis and key points.
The presentation of source material is to be in the form of direct quotes, paraphrases, or summarizations. And all presentations of source material are to be accompanied by proper MLA-style in-text citations.
You are also to present these sources in a Works Cited listing, properly formatted in MLA-style.
To provide you with a clear understanding of the quality of structure and content that should be included in a Research Essay or Research Paper, attached are two samples of an essay based on the Research Essay One directions. Both samples are of the same essay. One is a copy of a research essay as it should be submitted for review and grading. The second example is the same research essay, but with comments included to identify the required parts that essays and research papers are to include.
Use should refer to these two samples as draft and finalize your Research Essay One assignment. However, since this example is on the same topic that you are to write your Research Essay One assignment, do not copy any portion of this sample and use it in your essay — because that would be plagiarism, and you will be in violation of the Atantic Cape Academic Honesty Policy.
Do your own research and find your own sources.
The final version of your Research Essay One assignment is due by 9pm on 11/21 (the end of Week Four). Use the link provided in the Week Four folder to upload and submit your completed Research Essay One assignment (as a Microsoft Word file).
