- Essay format means the paper should contain an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.
- Do not include references in your paper for which you have not provided the reference. If you take anything–even one sentence which is the word for word from the source, it must be in quotation marks even if you have included the reference. Even if you paraphrase something that you took from a source, you must include the reference or it is plagiarism. Your papers will be checked by a plagiarism checker. If your “originality report” is higher than 20%, that usually means that much of your paper is either copied or plagiarized. Any person committing plagiarism will receive a zero on the essay paper and possibly turned over to the administration for academic consequences. This includes paying someone or an online vendor for writing the paper for you.
- Hint: The introduction states your thesis or the purpose of the paper. Organize your body paragraphs to include the main idea, which is then developed or illustrated by support evidence. The conclusion is a restatement of your thesis.
