Assignment

The originality checker generates a report for each paper submitted. This is especially important in determining the originality of the research paper. Every part that is copied word for word from another source has to be enclosed between quotation marks and has to be accompanied by a citation that tells the reader the source of the quotation.

Note also that the number of quotations is limited to three: 2 two short quotations, not to exceed 2 lines each, and one long quotation 4- 6 lines. The rest of the paper has to be in your own words and sentence structure. Changing a word here or there is not enough.

After you submit your paper, check for the originality report. If it exceeds the acceptable percentage, you may fix it and submit it again as long as the paper has not been graded.

Disqualifiers

A paper cannot receive credit if the essay part does not meet the standards of word count, grammar, language, tone, and format, even if the citations and the works cited page are perfectly formatted.

A paper that has no citations is not a research paper and cannot receive credit even if it is well structured and well developed in good language and grammar.
