In academics, plagiarism refers to the illegal presentation of other author’s ideas, expressions, language, or context as one’s own work. Students presenting the author’s article content as their own original work is considered as academic dishonest and breach of the author’s ethics. The academic suspension has been used as a disciplinary action to prohibit plagiarism among students. While disciplinary action is vital to the PMU students’ academic performance and the outsides world, there are however, some complain that have been received concerning the punishment among the students. Despite the complaints, academic suspension due to plagiarism should be embraced in institutions that value the quality of their education to the outside world. Plagiarism is considered ignorance and laziness, which can be transferred from learning institutions to the outside world of employment. Employers there outside are always in search of fresh graduates who have graduated from accredited universities or colleges. According to Masic (2019), graduates with the ability to independently solve problems have strong work ethic commitment as well as those who maintain high education integrity are highly considered and given the priority in recruitment exercise. With these essential requirements, it hence becomes a hurdle for the students who have been practicing plagiarism in their academic level to get a good job. Lazy students who find it difficult to undertake their assignments without copy-pasting or avoiding plagiarism in any means also find it a challenge in the outside world to solve complex problems. With the high level of education, such graduates may hence remain unemployed as they fail to fit in the most demanding and well-paying jobs academically. Running head: ACADEMIC SUSPENSION AS A WAY TO STOP PLAGIARISM AT PMU 3 At PMU, students are becoming lazy by plagiarizing the assignments given to them by their lecturers for cheaper degree certificates without the understanding that the practice will affect their life while in search of employment. Engineering is one of the marketable courses considered by majority in the modern world. The course is a practical based one, and integrity and keenness among the students is required to effectively understand the concepts of engineering (Nagaraju, 2018). Through plagiarism, students may not, however, understand the vital evidence-based concepts necessary for effective engineering training. This may, in one way or the other, negatively impact the results of the patient care output. Lack of essential evidence-based engineering practices and skills may negatively affect country’s economy (Prakash, & Badrinath, 2016). Arguably, students who attain their degrees through plagiarism hence lack the essential skills that can add value to the economy. The level of the skills and knowledge in their minds does not reflect what is pictured in their certificates. Hence why employers highly consider the level of skills rather than academic documents. Academic integrity and honesty are, therefore, crucial to the graduates who wish to secure well-paying jobs after their education. To avoid plagiarism, students should avoid copy-pasting the original content from the research sources by reading carefully and trying to rewrite the content afresh according to their understanding. Academic suspension for plagiarism at PMU should, therefore, be encouraged to avoid laziness and ignorance among the students.

MLA In-Text Citations: The Basics

Guidelines for referring to the works of others in your text using MLA style are covered throughout the MLA Handbook and in chapter 7 of the MLA Style Manual. Both books provide extensive examples, so it’s a good idea to consult them if you want to become even more familiar with MLA guidelines or if you have a particular reference question.

BASIC IN-TEXT CITATION RULES

In MLA Style, referring to the works of others in your text is done using parenthetical citations. This method involves providing relevant source information in parentheses whenever a sentence uses a quotation or paraphrase. Usually, the simplest way to do this is to put all of the source information in parentheses at the end of the sentence (i.e., just before the period). However, as the examples below will illustrate, there are situations where it makes sense to put the parenthetical elsewhere in the sentence, or even to leave information out.

General Guidelines

• The source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1) upon the source medium (e.g. print, web, DVD) and (2) upon the source’s entry on the Works Cited page.
• Any source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or phrase you provide to your readers in the text must be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of the corresponding entry on the Works Cited page.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS: AUTHOR-PAGE STYLE

MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author’s last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author’s name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For example:

Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (263).

Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).

Wordsworth extensively explored the role of emotion in the creative process (263).

Both citations in the examples above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following information:

Wordsworth, William. Lyrical Ballads. Oxford UP, 1967.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR PRINT SOURCES WITH KNOWN AUTHOR

For print sources like books, magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the parenthetical citation.

Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as “symbol-using animals” (3).

Human beings have been described as “symbol-using animals” (Burke 3).

These examples must correspond to an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on the left-hand margin of an entry on the Works Cited page:

Burke, Kenneth. Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method. University of California Press, 1966.
