After reading "How to Avoid Plagiarism" from your reading assignment list, evaluate the following passages from a sample paper. Decide if the author properly credited the source in each instance.

Passage from an article from John Hopkins University:

"The World Wide Web offers information and data from all over the world. Because so much information is available, and because that information can appear to be fairly 'anonymous,' it is necessary to develop skills to evaluate what you find. When you use a research or academic library, the books, journals, and other resources have already been evaluated by scholars, publishers, and librarians. Every resource you find has been evaluated in one way or another before you ever see it. When you are using the World Wide Web, none of this applies. There are no filters. Because anyone can write a Web page, documents of the widest range of quality, written by authors of the widest range of authority, are available on an even playing field. Excellent resources reside alongside the most dubious. The Internet epitomizes the concept of Caveat lector: Let the reader beware."

Kirk, E. (1996). Evaluating information found on the Internet. John Hopkins University, The Sheridan Libraries. Retrieved on September 15, 2009, from http://www.library.jhu.edu/researchhelp/general/evaluating/, para. 1.

For each sentence, circle "Correct" if the decision was correct and "Incorrect" if it was incorrect:

1. The Internet contains information from all over the world. Because there is so much information available, much of it anonymous, it is a perfect example of the concept of let the reader beware.
- Correct / Incorrect

2. Kirk cautions readers that although there is much information that can be accessed on the Internet from a variety of sources and places, they need to realize that this information did not go through the same evaluation process that articles in academic publications go through. "The Internet epitomizes the concept of Caveat lector: Let the reader beware" (Kirk, 1996, para. 1).
- Correct / Incorrect

3. The Internet contains information from numerous worldwide sources.
