A word of caution – make sure that the majority of your paper consists of your own thoughts. Many students ‘borrow’ too much from other sources. No more than 25% of your paper should be directly from other sources. The TurnItIn feature will compare your paper to others and information on the web. You do not want to be cited for plagiarism.
