Examine the following passage. Research indicates that multitasking in class has some surprisingly detrimental effects on student learning. One study, conducted at Massive State College, suggested that students who used their phone for non-class related activities scored one full grade below their peers on exams (Brown). Building on that finding, researchers at Little State College studied the effect of multitasking students on their non-multitasking peers. Interestingly, these non-multitasking students scored even worse on exams, averaging one and a half full grades worse than students in classes where no students were engaged in off-task multitasking (White). Given this research, I would argue that it is in all students' best interests for faculty to ask students to avoid multitasking during class..

She goes on to say... B - While Dilworth notes that "trebuchets were frighteningly deadly" (25) in medieval combat, her colleague Dan Morris argues that they had such a low accuracy rate that they weren't actually very effective (46). --- A, because it includes more of the quote, so that the readers can see for themselves what exactly Dilworth has to say about medieval weapons. B, because the author incorporates the first quote (Dilworth) into a larger discussion with another writer (Morris). B, because the author uses two sources (Dilworth and Morris) in the same sentence. A, because it's best to include only one source at a time in your writing so that you don't overwhelm your reader with information.
B, because the author incorporates the first quote (Dilworth) into a larger discussion with another writer (Morris).
Evaluate these two students' strategies to avoid plagiarism. Which one is more effective and why? Bryony looks up all the authors she is going to cite to make sure they are credentialed. She also plans on using mostly quotes instead of paraphrases or summaries, since they are easier to check for accuracy. Candice plans to use a reference management website for her note-taking, and she checks with her professor if she's not sure if a piece of information needs a citation or not. --- Bryony's system is more effective because it helps find the most expert sources; it also helps her avoid common plagiarism errors that happen when paraphrasing and summarizing. Both systems are equally effective, since strategies to avoid plagiarism are unique to the student. Candice's system is more effective because it solves the root problems of plagiarism, and it's always a good decision to ask the professor. Bryony's system is more effective because Candice should not use a reference management website in college-level writing.
Candice's system is more effective because it solves the root problems of plagiarism, and it's always a good decision to ask the professor.

Susan is taking two classes this semester and both require research papers. In order to try to manage her workload, Susan plans to use the same topic and research for both classes. Is this a good plan? --- Maybe, but only if Susan speaks to both professors, discusses her plan, and gets their permission to use the same topic and research for both classes. Yes. Completing two research papers in one semester is a big commitment, and Susan is smart to come up with a plan that will allow her to manage her workload. Yes. As long as Susan uses her own words and ideas, she owns her research and writing and can use it for any purpose she chooses. Susan needs to write two research papers; otherwise, she will be cheating herself of the full academic experience of the two different classes. xxx

Eva's final interior design project includes a video montage of things she's designed along with a background song by Taylor Swift. She wants to show her presentation in class but is thinking about also including it in her portfolio that she'll use to apply for internships. According to copyright law, is this okay? --- No. Eva cannot not keep the song in her presentation, even for class, because Taylor Swift owns the copyright to the song. Maybe. Because of the Fair Use Doctrine, it is likely okay to keep the Taylor Swift song in her class presentation, but she should not include it in her portfolio presentation because Taylor Swift owns the copyright. Yes. Taylor Swift songs are in the Public Domain, so Eva can use the song however she sees fit. Yes. As long as Eva purchased the song when she downloaded it, she can use it in her presentation.

Kat is writing an essay about the death of Trayvon Martin. As she has researched this event, Kat discovered that Martin was carrying a bag of Skittles when he was shot by George Zimmerman. Does Kat need a reference to a source for that information? --- No, because the fact that Treyvon Martin was carrying a bag of Skittles is not particularly important. Yes, because although the fact that Trayvon Martin was carrying a bag of Skittles is undisputed, Kat did not know that fact until she began her research. Yes, because every piece of information included in a research paper should be sourced. No, because the fact that Trayvon Martin was carrying a bag of Skittles is undisputed.

Sofia has included phrases inside quotation marks from her sources. She calls these "summaries." What should you tell her to help her write a stronger essay? --- Summaries are actually overviews of an entire text. She might include a few direct quotations for key phrases as part of her summary, but it should be mostly her review of the main ideas of the original text. She should change some of the words and remove the quotation marks. As long as her wording is different from the original, quotation marks are not necessary and she will have an effective summary. Summaries are indicated with quotation marks, but make sure that you don't include in-text citations for them. Summaries do not ever use direct quotations or quotation marks, so Sofia should focus on putting everything into her own words.

You are peer-reviewing a paper that uses quotation marks around material that the writer has not quoted word for word. The author calls these passages "summaries." What feedback should you give to help this author write a more effective essay? --- If you have the author's material in their own words, direct quotations are far more effective than summaries. You can use quotation marks when you summarize a text, as long as you start your sentence with a phrase like "In this summary..." Summaries are actually overviews of the main ideas of the original text. They don't typically include quotations or word-for-word phrases except for key phrases. The writer should simply remove the quotation marks. As long as the writer hasn't used any word-for-word quotations, the summary should be effective.
