...just because a student gets the book on the works cited page, doesn’t mean the student hasn’t plagiarized. A misplaced comma, a forgotten quotation mark, a borrowed phrase, or image, is still plagiarism if it's not clear who the originator of the material is. It’s not intentional plagiarism. It’s not the kind of plagiarism that would get a kid kicked out of class, but it is the kind of plagiarism I have to talk to them about, make sure they are aware of it and fix it.
