[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds like a bad assignment and [b]he should know to include works cited if he’s essentially using quotes regardless of rubric[/b]. However, the teacher sounds like she has no understanding of what plagiarism is if she thinks it can be identified by a subpar checker and then fixed in 10 minutes. If it was accurately picking up plagiarism the papers should be rewritten, not reworded. [/quote]

He used quotes when given that final 20 minutes. Rubric didn't require works cited (though he does this for many assignments). What he did was state a policy, and include, "In accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990"[/quote]

Rubric may not have required works cited, but if you cite someone else's work (even the American Disabilities Act), you need to include a works cited. If you continue to make excuses for him, as others have pointed out, he will figure it out the hard way in college.[/quote]

Hmm... if this is really the case, then I would be hard-pressed to find a violation. If you haven't been given a particular style, a list of references may not be necessary. An inline citation, like the aforementioned, is probably sufficient. Most government documents or regulations do not have a singular authorship. However, if you do copy verbatim from the document, the quoted material must be surrounded by "'s. Even though the document is in the public domain, this is still done to prevent others from assuming you are the author of the phrase. [/quote]
