Remember to cite and reference examples from the readings and journal articles for this week.",Dear Ma'am, As you know the pervious assignment I got into plagiarism issue. Based on your explanation, I appealed. I got a below message from my university and got a grade of F (failed). I need you help to put some extra effort to avoid plagiarism as much as possible. The reason of the plagiarms charge is the missing or incorrect referencing. The hight turnitin match does not necearry lead to plagiarism charge if the copied material is referenced properly. However if the important bibliographilcal details are missing, the submission will be subject of plagiarms investigation. I know that you are aware of the importance of checking your work for errors and often students do not have a great deal of time to do this. As plagiarism is a serious matter, please always allow yourself time to check your work before submitting it. It is very important to make sure that your citations, quotes and references are correct and in accordance with the Harvard Referencing System. On a different note, it is also important to remember that if you are submitting a large amount of text / work that is cited and referenced, you are also unlikely to receive a good grade as the vast majority of the work must be your own. You need to be showing originality of work; so your own thoughts, opinions and ideas. Remember: Direct Quote:~ A direct quote goes in double quotation marks ??. A direct quote is used when information is taken directly from another source. You place the quote in the quotation marks ?? to show the reader that this is not your work / words. I.e. it has come from somewhere else. Paraphrase:~ Paraphrasing is a summary of information. If you have read a piece of work and you want to summarise it then this is classed as a paraphrase and therefore needs to be cited. You need to cite this work as even though you are using your own words to show your understanding of the topic, that topic or that information is originally from another source. Citation:~ A citation is a form of reference that goes next to a paraphrase or a direct quote. the aim of the citation is to show the reader that the section covers another?s work or ideas and to show who that author is. In every citation you need to put a minimum of the name of the Author and the date of publication. For citations on books and journals you will also need more information. A citation also needs to be placed against any chart, picture or piece of information you are using from another source. Please refer to the Harvard Referencing guide for full details. References:~ A reference list is created whenever you are using a direct quote or paraphrase in any piece of work. The reference list is placed at the end of your document and should contain enough information so that the reader of the document can go and find that exact piece of work you have used in your work. It is important that you give full information in the reference section and you should show the reader exactly where you got the information from, the precise location of the information (page or URL) and the date that you accessed that information. Please see the Harvard Reference System guidelines for more information and how your reference list should be formatted. It is important that this guide is followed precisely. Being able to research information, digest that information and then putting the information in your own words to answer a discussion question or assignment will show the instructor that you understand the material or concepts. Just copying and pasting large pieces of information does not show this, it purely shows that you are able to research information. Even if you cite and reference the information correctly, the instructor would be looking for some critical evaluation of the quoted text, again if it is large in size then this will reduce your grade dramatically or result in a fail. The vast majority of the words must be your own, small quotations can be used, but you should then really comment on the quotation, showing its relevance to the discussion question or assignment. Here is the link about the Harvard Referencing System, which may be of use to you: http://www.liv.ac.uk/library/ohecampus/referencing/referencing.htm. And this is a link to help interpreting turnitin: http://www.uol.ohecampus.com/handbook/turnitin/Originality_Report.pdf,Dear Ma'am, Thank you so for the help. Please take note of plagiarism.

Question 4
LSI Assignment Guidelines Developing a willingness and ability to engage in self-reflection is a critical leadership skill that is not easily learned yet which reaps many rewards. The LSI enables you to examine your own unique way of thinking and how it influences your behavior. Your Assignment: Complete (on your own) the LSI according to the procedure outlined here, so that you end up with your "Life Styles Circumplex" profile: 12 "personal thinking style" scores, one score for each section of the circumplex. Write a 3?5 page paper examining and explaining your LSI results. There are more details in the table below. LSI Style Interpretations: Go to the LSI1 Results page, find your circumplex profile, and click on the circumplex "slice" of one of the styles. The site will bring you to a customized interpretation of the style you clicked on. Click on each of the 12 "slices" to see all of the customized style description pages. How to Use the Inventory Click here to go to the Life Styles Inventory (LSI) exercise. Follow the instructions given on the LSI Website. The content of your LSI paper must include a copy of your LSI results (circumplex and chart) and the following written sections: Section Points Description Title page Title of your applied research paper, your name, e-mail address, course number and title, instructor, and date. Personal Thinking Styles 25 Identify your primary and backup thinking styles: What are your "primary" (highest percentile score) and "backup" (second highest percentile) personal thinking styles as shown in your circumplex? Discuss how your primary and backup personal styles are manifested in your life and work (see the LSI Self Development Guide online). Using the style interpretations in the LSI Guide, describe the styles and give your perceptions about the results. Do you agree or disagree with them and why? Identify your limiting style: Identify and illustrate one style you think might be working against you to reduce your overall effectiveness. Name the style you have chosen, make a few remarks about why you are choosing this style as limiting your professional effectiveness in organizations. Select one behavior associated with this style that you think you would like to change and the difference it will make. Be sure to support your interpretation with examples, etc. LSI Style Interpretations: Go to the LSI1 Results page, find your circumplex profile, and click on the circumplex "slice" of one of the styles. The site will bring you to a customized interpretation of the style you clicked on. Click on each of the 12 "slices" to see all of the customized style description pages. Impact on Management Style 35 What impact do your personal styles have on your management style? Explore and assess the impact of your personal styles on your effectiveness as a manager in terms of the four functions of management: a. Planning; b. Organizing; c. Leading; and d. Controlling. If you are currently not a manager, assume you are and predict your effectiveness as such. Genesis of Personal Style 35 Critically evaluate and explain on how you developed the personal styles that were revealed in your LSI. What role, for example, did family relationships, school, organizational memberships, culture, etc. have in shaping your personal style? Conclusion and Reflection 25 Think about your LSI results and your responses to the above questions. Summarize any concluding comments. Close your paper with a statement of at least one question or goal you hope your work in GM591 will help you to address and comment with a few sentences to describe the value of this exercise to your personal and professional development. Please note: The LSI Self-Development Guide is integrated into the LSI1 Participant account, and is available after you complete the LSI Survey and have access to your results. In-depth and personalized style descriptions can be found by clicking on the style "slices" of the circumplex. For example, if you would like to learn more about the Humanistic-Encouraging style (Style 1), you simply click on the circumplex "slice" for that style. The same goes for the other 11 styles. You can find the Challenge of Change and the Self-Improvement Plan information by using two of the additional links that become available in you LSI online account after the survey is complete. These links are "The Challenge of Change" and "Your Self-Improvement Plan." Good luck with the exercise!
