• “The Photocopy” - The writer copies significant portions of text straight from a single source, without alteration.
• “The Potluck Paper” - The writer copies from several different sources, tweaking the sentences to make them fit together while retaining most of the original phrasing.
• “The Poor Disguise”  - The writer has altered the paper’s appearance slightly by changing key words and phrases.
• “The Labor of Laziness”  - The writer takes the time to paraphrase most of the paper from other sources and make it all fit together.
• “The Self-Stealer" - The writer “borrows” generously from his or her previous work.
• “The Forgotten Footnote” - The writer mentions an author’s name for a source, but neglects to include specific information on the location of the material referenced.
• “The Misinformer" - The writer provides inaccurate information regarding the sources, making it impossible to find them. 
• “The Too-Perfect Paraphrase" - The writer properly cites a source, but neglects to put in quotation marks on text that has been copied word-for-word, or close to it. 
• “The Resourceful Citer” - The writer properly cites all sources, paraphrasing and using quotations appropriately. The catch?  The paper contains almost no original work!
