2 What is plagiarism and why is it important to cite sources and avoid plagiarism? "Plagiarism is defined as the act of taking the specific substance of another and offering it as one's own without giving credit to the sources. When sources are used, acknowledgement of the original author or source must be made following scholarly practice." Cal State Fullerton Catalog 05-07 p. 558.

12 Citing an online article Court Restricts Free Speech for College Students. By Donna Euban Academe; Sep/Oct2005, Vol. 91 Issue 5, p11-12, 2p Abstract:This article reports on the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court for the Seventh District on the case Hosty v. Carter involving the restriction of free speech for college students in 2005. In the case, editors of the student newspaper The Innovator challenged the actions of Patricia Carter, a dean at Governors State University in Illinois, after she informed the newspaper printer that she had to approve the publication's content before production. A U.S. Supreme Court case that restricted high school students' First Amendment protections applies to student newspapers at colleges as well as at elementary and secondary schools, ruled the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in June in Hosty v. Carter. By extending to higher education the results of the earlier case (Hazelwood District v. Kuhlmeier), the appeals court's decision significantly curtails the constitutional protection afforded the extracurricular speech of college and university students at public institutions. In Hosty v. Carter, editors of the student newspaper The Innovator challenged the actions of Patricia Carter, a dean at Governors State University in Illinois, after she informed the newspaper printer that she had to approve the publication's content before production. The students argued that the dean's action violated their First Amendment rights. In 2003, a unanimous three-judge panel agreed with the students, saying that "while Hazelwood teaches that younger students in a high-school setting must endure First Amendment restrictions, we see nothing in that case that should be interpreted to change the general view favoring broad First Amendment rights for students at the university level.“ In reversing the panel decision, a majority of the full appeals court reasoned that the analysis of such cases should depend not on whether the speech is curricular or extracurricular, but on whether the student publication is a public forum. Nevertheless, the majority held that Hazelwood applies to college and university newspapers. In so reasoning, the court raised the chilling specter that college and university administrations may censor college student extracurricular and curricular speech. The court opined that "academic freedom includes the authority of the university to manage an academic community … free from interference by other units of government.“ The four-judge dissent in Hosty asserted that the majority failed to distinguish properly between secondary and postsecondary students: "There are two reasons why the law treats high school students differently than it treats college students. … High school students are less mature and the missions of the respective institutions are different. These differences make it clear that Hazelwood does not apply is prepared to weigh in as an amicus, contending that Hazelwood should not apply to college and university student speech………….. http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?vid=6&hid=108&sid=35935026-52a8-4096-bbbc-e4d260fd949a%40sessionmgr103

14 Citing information inside the paper using APA style Random paragraph within a paper, written in APA style Ansel Adams was a prominent environmentalist and a board member of the Sierra Club from 1934 until 1972. During these years, he worked alongside David Brower to promote the cause of wilderness protection and the protection of the environment. (Cohen, 1998) Adams transformed his love of wilderness camping into a highly successful career of backcountry photography. His first extensive high Sierra trip was in 1920. Leading a laden burro and carrying a thirty-pound pack of photographic equipment, Adams spent the summer photographing Yosemite. It was a vocation that would continue for years, sometimes as an assistant manager of the Sierra Club outings and others times as a solitary backpacker. He loved the wilderness experiences but his focus was always on his photographic work. (Adams, 1985) The fine art images that resulted from these summer trips were especially influential in encouraging future backpackers to explore the remote mountain wilderness. Adams’ photographs were grandiose interpretations of the wilderness in which Adams, according to historian Jonathan Spaulding, “portrayed the national parks as sanctuaries for the worship of nature…linked in a harmonious web of nature.” (Spauding 1996, p. 620) Small piece of bibliography, written in APA format Adams, A, (1985).

16 Citing within a paper using Chicago/Turabian Format Random Paragraph on a paper, Chicago/Turbian Style Ansel Adams was a prominent environmentalist and a board member of the Sierra Club from 1934 until 1972. During these years, he worked alongside David Brower to promote the cause of wilderness protection and the protection of the environment. At the same time, Adams had transformed his love of wilderness camping into a highly successful career of backcountry photography. His first extensive high Sierra trip was in 1920. Leading a laden burro and carrying a thirty-pound pack of photographic equipment, Adams spent the summer photographing Yosemite.(1) It was a vocation that would continue for years, sometimes as an assistant manager of the Sierra Club outings and others times as a solitary backpacker. He loved the wilderness experiences but his focus was always on his photographic work.(2) The fine art images that resulted from these summer trips were especially influential in encouraging future backpackers to explore the remote mountain wilderness. Adams’ photographs were grandiose interpretations of the wilderness in which Adams, according to historian Jonathan Spaulding, “portrayed the national parks as sanctuaries for the worship of nature…linked in a harmonious web of nature.” (3) Yosemite National Park was one of his favorite locations and the source of some of his best-known pictures. The popularity of his photographs did much to increase the appeal of visiting the Park.
