explain why the other paraphrases are less effective and why they may constitute violations of Walden’s academic integrity policy.

Now that you understand Walden’s policy on academic integrity, you will examine writing samples that may or may not adhere to Walden’s policy. This exercise will help you learn how to identify appropriate and inappropriate use of source material.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review the Week 2 Resources. Pay special attention to the videos on effective and ineffective paraphrasing.

By Day 3

Post a 1- to 2-paragraph analysis of three paraphrases of a source passage. In your own words, identify which paraphrase you think is most effective, and explain why. Also, explain why the other paraphrases are less effective and why they may constitute violations of Walden’s academic integrity policy.

Source passage:

“Policymakers are challenged to broaden their outlook of preferred plagiarism prevention measures and look towards those strategies that take into account the reasons students give for their plagiarism in the first place, and to build on the value that most students place upon their personal integrity” (Awdry & Sarre, 2013, p. 45).

Student A’s paraphrase:

Policymakers should broaden their outlook of plagiarism prevention measures by considering the reasons students give for plagiarism and by emphasizing the value most students place on personal integrity.

Student B’s paraphrase:

Education experts should expand their vision of strategies to reduce plagiarism by considering the explanations students give for committing plagiarism and by remembering that most students respect the need for academic integrity (Awdry & Sarre, 2013).

Student C’s paraphrase:

According to Awdry and Sarre (2013), policymakers are challenged to broaden their outlook of preferred plagiarism prevention measures and look towards those strategies that take into account the reasons students give for their plagiarism in the first place, and to build on the value that most students place upon their personal integrity.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

Develop and post an annotated bibliography that identifies sources that will help you to answer your literature search question (LSQ).

/in /by

Instructions: Develop and post an annotated bibliography that identifies sources that will help you to answer your literature search question (LSQ).

For this discussion: Put your proposed LSQ in interrogative form at the top of the annotated bibliography. Include a minimum of 10 articles in your annotated bibliography, eight of which should be other than those identified in your Unit 1 discussion post.  To choose these articles, it is likely that you will have to read many more than 10 articles. An annotated bibliography involves culling the articles that do not support your LSQ. Be sure to select articles (published within five years) that reflect current knowledge of the topic. For some topics, the use of articles older than five years is appropriate”include a one-sentence rationale for using an older article if this is the case. For easy reference, be sure to number each entry in the annotated bibliography. Research Articles For each research journal article selected, discuss how it relates to your LSQ: Identify the authors research question. Identify the research problem that the authors hope to resolve. Identify the methods used by the authors to investigate the research question. Identify the results the researchers noted in the discussion of the reported research. Explain why you chose the article and how it will help to answer the LSQ. Identify whether the article is chosen for its usefulness in terms of theory of method, theory of content, or for both content and method. Theoretical Articles For each theoretical journal article selected discuss how it relates to your LSQ: Identify the contentions of the authors the research question, if applicable. Identify the problem under discussion and methods used for developing their claims, premises, and suppositions. Explain why you believe that this article will help to answer the LSQ. Identify whether the article is chosen for its utility in terms of theory of method, theory of content, or for both content and method.

 what might have affected those results (i.e., threats to internal and external validity). Include flaws in your design and confounding variables.
