If you missed this
question, look for the heading Reliable
Sources Only in the link that Blackboard displays below this quiz. |
a. |
For
your source of facts, use only
sources your boss (or professor) accepts as reliable. — For example, unless your
boss (or professor) specifically tells you “Google this for me and copy
anything you like from the Internet and email it to me,” don’t. |
b. |
You must use reliable
sources to verify everything that you write or say. To verify a fact means to
confirm that the reliable source specifically states that fact (whether you
wrote the words or the author did). — With bosses (or professors), you will
be in trouble if you are incorrect, so never guess and instead verify before you write or speak. |
c. |
If a boss (or professor) asks you for the proof of
something that you said or wrote, you must be able to state the name of the
reliable source and exactly where
(a specific page) in that source
that each fact came from (whether you
wrote the words or the author did). — With
bosses (or professors), you cannot just claim that a specific page provides
evidence. If a reasonable person using a reliable dictionary and reading the
entire passage on that page would not agree that you provided evidence, then
neither will your boss (or professor). |
d. |
If you use words (even
phrases) created by another person, then follow standards for using quotation
marks (“”) to reveal clearly to your reader what words you created and what
words the author created. — This is a requirement in courses, and in some
jobs failure to do this is a firing offense. |
e. |
If
you use quotation marks (“”) to reveal words created by another person but
you change those words, then carefully reveal those changes by following
standards for using quotation marks (“”), ellipses (…), and/or square
brackets ([ ]). This may not be just a punctuation error. — Instead, by your
changes, you may be misleading your reader about the evidence, and never
mislead a boss (or professor) about the evidence. |
What
the Corresponding Colors Mean in the Student Example and in the Source (the
Textbook Pages)
Highlight, blue |
Facts
do exist for this in the source. |
Highlight, pink (a reddish one on pages) |
This
word is from the source. A few words indicates passive reading; many words,
plagiarism or “half-copy” plagiarism. Highlighting a single letter in pink
(such as leave)
means the student just used a different form (such as left) of a word from the source. |
Highlight, yellow |
This
section of the source is misread or the student never read the required
source. Highlighting a quotation mark (“) indicates the student changed the quotation
without revealing the changes. |
Highlight, green |
Highlighting
a quotation mark (“)
indicates the student used the required quotation marks correctly. |
