Critical Thinking practice: problems.
Define plagiarism in your own words.
Here's a definition of plagiarism. Here is intellectual property.
First of all, plagiarism stories: Viswanathan
1. Identify a problem in this story. State it.
Helene
2. Why so different? Is there a problem here?State it.
Herr Guttenberg
3. Was this the "right" outcome? Is there a problem here?
Beyond "plagiarism" to "intellectual property":
Book covers?
4. Was this a case of theft? Is there a problem?
If the courts are in charge...
Down Under
Comparison.
5. Do you see a problem here?
If there's time....better news, for some: music... TV iTunes
6. Whom do you think the law says that TV news footage "belongs" to? What do you think? Have you heard of "fair use"? Is there a problem?
All the questions above are answered in the daybook.
Homework:
1. Be thinking about problems that interest you. Your next paper is a "Problem" paper. You choose the problem. (One prohibition: gun control as a problem.) Possible ideas: issues with emissions/ fuel/ consumers. GMOs. Global trade issues. Technology? Robotics? What's a problem that's bugging you? Politics?
2. TWFTD: intellectual property from Wikipedia?

Preventing Accidental Plagiarism
What's plagiarism, again?
But what about this: http://questioncopyright.org/minute_memes
Thinkwrite: Do you agree or disagree with this short? Explain.
But you "Always give credit where...."
Not only do you need to quote accurately, you must avoid this tricky problem:

Staples' essay: As a softy who is scarcely able to take a knife to a raw chicken -- let alone hold one to a person' throat -- I was ....
How would you fix this situation?
Now we see what TurnItIn can do to help you check that you are citing your sources clearly.
Open your draft in the Turnitin document reader.
In your daybook, copy down one of YOUR sentences that uses coordination to connect two or more clauses, and one sentence that uses subordination to connect two clauses.
You have time to do some final proofreading/editing and create your bibliography page using EasyBib.
