Plagiarizing Q's

What the student that wrote this response did wrong was they incorporated another writer’s work without listing the source/ giving credit to the original author. That is called plagiarizing which is not only illegal but is unfair to those who worked hard to write something and won’t be able to be recognized for it. What the student could have done to include the source correctly was to use a quotation mark to separate his writing from the other authors writing and they said where this quote came from so the writer got credit. If the student didn’t want to do that, they could have tried to paraphrase the chunk of writing, which basically means to put them into their own words but keep the idea and concept.
An example of a way the student could have used the original source correctly by paraphrasing is:
"There is a night sky filled with swirling clouds, stars ablaze with their own luminescence, and a bright crescent moon."- www.vangoghgallery.com, "A Brief Understanding of the Starry Night Paintings." (No author).
The night described above is from the painting by Vincent Van Gogh "Starry Night", this sky is filled with a lot of detail and the scene is familiar to many people and therefore that many people are content with; because Most of us can look up- and all see a starry night.
Three ways to avoid plagiarizing is:
One, You can use a semi colon or a comma and quotation marks to separate your writing from another writers that you are using in your work. Don’t forget to cite the source the quote comes from.
Two, you can paraphrase the chunk of another authors writing you would like to use by putting it into your own words. It will work just the same, as long as you keep the original idea of the quote.
And three, you could summarize the writing.
