I do hope that you write the assigned essay due Monday very carefully, and check to make sure that you do not take anything from another source without giving it credit. A strong chance exists that I may bump the due date to tomorrow because of this problem and because I never want to see it again.
I've seen many instances of plagiarism in your position papers, something I should not see at all in your writing. While some of it may be unintentional, it's still plagiarism, something I have zero tolerance for seeing. What happens when I find it? Your essay receives no credit. Because of its proliferation recently, I'll be requiring that your PowerPoints for your presentations be submitted to Turnitin the evening before they are due.
We will be discussing this in more detail Monday. Plans are being changed to address this problem. I'm also going to post some resources here for you to read closely. My hope is that I no longer see anything like I have been seeing this weekend. It is really disappointing.
Some sites for your close perusal:
