Thread: History/homework help please??

Okay I started typing my paper on on the 3rd page, just in the beginning. And to honest, I'm kinda pulling words from the sources and mixing them around, I know that's plagiarizing but I honestly don't know how to type a good paper to save my life. If I do finish it and provide the sources, how bad do you think it will be when turning it in to my teacher, I mean he said zero tolerance and I think he put MLA Format to prevent plagiarizing. I will try my best to put it in MLA (all I got to do is put the sources at the end of the paragraphs....I think)

I mean come on its a rough draft, so the final papers' not due til like maybe the 16th, the day of the mid-term. So can any body give me advice or ease my assumptions/nervousness?

Unless you are writing your own account on history, there isn't much material around that you haven't read or seen or heard. If you want to make it look more original, stop reading other people's work and make the research more personal. Go places and talk to people to get a different perspective.

Not much of a researcher but I hope that helped. good luck

Make sure you have a good bibliography and any direct quotes you put inside of quote marks and state the page.
