Why is it wrong to copy parts of a text word for word, without quotation marks?
It makes it seem like these are your own words.
If readers can’t find the cited source, they can’t check the information themselves.
Not doing the work yourself is academically dishonest, undermines your learning, and is unfair to other students.
Even with proper citations, you’re not making an original contribution if you rely so much on someone else’s words.
