think of his philosophy and the implications of “patchwriting”? 
• What makes some plagiarism “wrong” or “right”?

The wrong way to paraphrase: 
Failure to Cite Source

example, virtue and 
the absence of vice, 
no less really than 
pleasure and the 
absence of pain.”

Other Essays. New York: Oxford 
University Press, 1998. Quote is 
from page 169.

• People want morality 
just as much as they 
want happiness.
The wrong way to paraphrase: 
Lack of Significant Rewording 
• Original 
• “To the young 
American architects 
who made the 
pilgrimage, the most 
dazzling figure of all 
was Walter Gropius, 
founder of the Bauhaus 
School.” 
• Source: Wolfe, Tom. From Bauhaus to 
Our House. New York: Farrar Straus 
Giroux, 1981. Quote is from page 10. 
• Paraphrase 
• To young American 
architects who went to 
Germany, the most 
dazzling figure was 
Walter Gropius, founder 
of the Bauhaus School 
(Wolfe, 1981).

Special cases

same last name, use the first initial in the 
citation 
• (Smith, A., 2002)

year by the same author, use letters a, b, c, 
etc. to indicate correct source
