Plagiarism 3 Responses: Is Plagiarism

You're right!

This is an example of plagiarism because too much of the paper is being taken from other sources. Even correctly citing your quotes and paraphrases is not enough to avoid plagiarism in this instance. Remember, the paper you write is supposed to consist primarily of your own thoughts and ideas. Your sources should support your arguments, not make up the bulk of your assignment.
