Note about “Plagiarism”
Occasionally, students make the mistake of ‘going too far in the other direction’ and they include too many direct quotes in a submission. If the proportion of quotations in a submission exceeds 20%, then the grade would probably be Fail – even if all the copied materials are properly cited.
