4th Major Grade - Plagiarism This grade will be determined by the percentage of plagiarism found in your paper. This
will be checked by me through Google Classroom. However, you were given the website papersOwl.com to determine
the percentage of plagiarism in your paper before turning it in. Note, no two plagiarism cites are the same; however,
you will need to aim for less than 10 percent plagiarism in your paper to ensure an A on this portion of the project.
