How to Avoid Plagiarism

 

• Submit a draft version of your written work prior to the deadline in order to see a preview of the Originality Report. The report will take several minutes to process after your submission so you may have to come back to view it later. 
• You can access the Originality Report by clicking on the Similarity link next to your submitted text or file in the Grading Summary below. The Similarity link will appear about 5 minutes after your submission and will show an initial originality percentage.
• After reviewing the Originality Report, revise any content in your writing that is seen as a direct copy from other sources, as shown in the Originality Report.
• To reduce the chances for plagiarism, always add quotation marks around any words that you have copied from other sources and include a properly formatted reference to those sources within the text of your paper, as well as on a References page.
• To completely avoid any potential for plagiarism, rewrite the content using your own words to paraphrase it rather than directly quoting it.
• In either case, always cite your sources within the text and on the References page, whether you directly quote or paraphrase someone else’s writing

Using the following steps found within the translation phase of the Practice Evidence Translation (PET) model developed by Johns Hopkins, select a research result reported in a journal article that supports your PICOT/PICo question. Please respond to the following steps. Please note that wording of the steps may have been modified slightly from the PET so that they help with this posting. Include the permalink at the end of your posting.

 

• Using references, identity the research result that you could use in your practice setting.
• Determine fit, feasibility, and appropriateness of the result for your practice setting.
• Using Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA), outline an action plan.
• Identify the resources (physical, personal, technology) needed to implement your action plan.
• Determine the criteria that you would use to determine whether the implementation of your project was successful.
• Identify one future research study that would be useful in extending knowledge of your selected project result.

Refer back to the two reading assignments for this unit. Then, write an essay that answers the questions listed below. 

1. Read “Can a Defendant Who Lies About her Role in Spousal Homicide Still Raise a “Battered Woman’s” Defense?”, and answer the questions below. 
   1. The Illinois Appellate Court, citing a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, says that “Perhaps we could never succeed in intelligibly defining the kinds of matter we understand to be embraced within the shorthand description of battered woman’s syndrome.” Why not?
   2. Would you be able to formulate an effective legal description of battered woman’s syndrome? If so, what would it be? 
2. Read “Is there a Meaningful Difference Between ‘Insanity’ and ‘Temporary Insanity’?”, and answer the questions below. 
   1. Miller claimed to be sane before and after the killing but insane during the time the crime was committed. His attorneys asked that, at the end of the trial, the jury be instructed on the issue of temporary insanity and that they be told that “regardless of its duration, legal insanity that existed at the time of the commission of the crime is a defense to the crime.” Why do you think that the trial court refused to give the jury instructions regarding the insanity defense, which the defendant wished to have communicated? 
   2. In this case, the appellate court reversed the defendant’s conviction and remanded the case for a new trial. On what basis was that decision reached? Do you agree that the appellate court should have reached such a decision? Why, or why not? 
   3. What does this case have to tell us about the difference between insanity and temporary insanity? Are differences between the two terms significant in cases such as this one? Why, or why not?  

Your essay will be a minimum of two pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. Your essay should contain a clear introduction and be well-organized. 

 

You are required to use at least two resources to support your essay, one of which may be your textbook (Schmalleger, F., & Hall, D. E. (2017). Criminal law today. Boston: Pearson). All resources used including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. Your essay, including all references, will be formatted in APA style. 

Every   day we use data in one way or another in our daily lives, we find ways to   analyze situations and create viable solutions based on quantitative and   qualitative information that we collect mentally as well as physically.  For this project you are going to become an   educational advisor for a fictional educational institution.  The Vice President of Instruction of the   institution has provided you with the raw data of the assessment scores of   their students’ final exam in their GED Preparation Course.  The course consists of scores in   mathematics and English and Pass or Fail Overall Score.  There is also information in regard to the   demographics of the students.

 

Based   on the raw data that you have been provided, you are going to develop a   presentation using visuals of the data that have been provided.  You are going to make recommendations to   the Vice President of Instruction of the University of suggested improvements   that can be made based on your analysis of the data that has been provided to   you.

 

Within   your data presentation include:

 

A   variety of graphics that illustrate the represented data

 

An   explanation of what each graphic represents

 

Explain   how the graphics should be interpreted (include a key)

 

Finally,   summarize your analyzation of the data and provide the VP with some   suggestions to improve the quality of instruction within the school.  Refer to your visuals within your summary.

 

For this assignment you can use any method that you want to use.  Some students use Microsoft Word, some students have used Powerpoints.
