Sample 8"A 'paradigm' is a pattern, a standard theory or explanation about some aspect of reality" (Memering and Palmer 189). When you throw a baseball up into the air, you have a "paradigm" about what will happen to the ball. Should the ball for some reason not come down, and then all balls thrown into the air not come down as you expect (as if gravity had been turned off), it would mean that an important part of your understanding about reality was wrong! Feedback Reason: inaccurate placement of quotation marks and parenthetical notation "A 'paradigm' is a pattern, a standard theory or explanation about some aspect of reality. When you throw a baseball up into the air, you have a 'paradigm' about what will happen to the ball. Should the ball for some reason not come down, and then all balls thrown into the air not come down as you expect (as if gravity had been turned off), it would mean that an important part of your understanding about reality was wrong" (Memering and Palmer 189)! The second through fourth sentences, "When...wrong!" need quotation marks and parenthetical notation. As the passage is, the student has commited cut-and-paste plagiarism. Note: Source material used below is different from the samples 1-5. Original Source Material:In The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People Stephen Covey discusses "paradigm shifts" in reasoning. A "paradigm" is a pattern, a standard theory or explanation about some aspect of reality. When you throw a baseball up into the air, you have a "paradigm" about what will happen to the ball. Should the ball for some reason not come down, and then all balls thrown into the air not come down as you expect (as if gravity had been turned off), it would mean that an important part of your understanding about reality was wrong! Your standard paradigm about baseballs in the air would have shifted. The correct MLA citation for the original source material is as follows:Memering, Dean and William Palmer,eds.
