Essay and Plagiarism

by sunnyjohn » Sun Dec 18, 2011 9:21 pm

Hi Everyone,

I know that now a day B-School tests your essay for plagiarism. I understand that everyone has his own story in essay so chances of getting caught in plagiarism should be less. But for NUS, I have been asked 2 essays on general topics - Rampant consumerism and Asia biggest problem.

As I have to do some research on these topic before formulating my words. Of Course I will be taking some reference text from somewhere. Can any one guide me on how to avoid plagiarism for this kind of scenario ?

Forgetting is the greatest weapon against plagiarism. We all assimilate ideas from what we read and see and experience, but thankfully we don't remember everything! (Think, embarrassing moment with Mrs. Hopkins in the third grade... ouch!).
so as long as you are copying you should be fine, and if you are taking big chunks of ideas or statistics or whatever, just give a source: "The Wall street journal writes..."

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
