Plagiarism - True or False

1. I conducted an “e-interview” of an expert for my economics paper. I sent her some questions via email, and she responded via email. I need to include a citation for the information, even though it came in email form.

2. I am running out of time on my project. My professor said to only use scholarly sources, but I can't find enough material in those articles. It's fine to cut and paste some minor facts from a Wikipedia page, and just leave that source out of my bibliography.

3. I am using the phrase, "A penny saved is a penny earned" in my paper. I will need to track down who originally said this and when, and cite that person in my paper.

4. I find a passage from a newspaper article that fits well with my essay. It's fine to just change a few minor words around as long as I cite the source.

5. Instead of directly quoting my research, I paraphrase my sources, putting them into my own words. When I paraphrase, I not only have to list the sources in my bibliography, but have to use in-text citations too.

6. I did a semester-long internship at a middle school. I write about some of my personal experiences there in an essay for my sociology class. I don't need to cite myself in my bibliography.

7. I interview my classmate about his views on global warming and he makes some great points. I do not need to cite these points if I use them in my paper on that topic.

8. When I took notes from my sources, I sometimes wrote down exact quotes, and sometimes paraphrased the sources in my notebook, but didn't use quotation marks anywhere. Just to be safe, it's best just to put quotation marks around everything that I use in my final research paper, even if some happen to not be actual quotes.
