What should a grade 11 teacher do when a student submits a research paper that he copies and pastes directly from wikipedia articles?

I am a college professor, and the problem cuts across all age groups. Before deciding on the right action to take, a few things need to be considered. First, did you explain to the class what plagiarism is and what the punishment for it will be? Some students genuinely do not know how to do research, so they figure they can cut and paste; they need to know the difference between using somebody else's words and being able to explain the subject matter in their own words (using proper citations and reliable sources).

Second, did you explain that while Wikipedia is a good place to start, it is NOT the only place to get research, and that in fact, it's essential to use a number of sources, including books and magazines? And along that line, I assume you explained to the class how to integrate quotes into the research paper. I find college freshmen who still think inserting large (two paragraphs or more) excerpts from somebody else's work into their paper is proof they did research. But it's not, since it doesn't show me that the student understood the concepts in those long paragraphs.

If this is a good student and he just made a terrible mistake, give him the grade that would send a strong message that this is not an acceptable way to do research, but I might not want to just fail him for the course. In fact, I might even be inclined to make him re-do the paper, just to show me he can do it the right way. (I would of course give him a lower grade, but I think it's important that a good student have the opportunity to explain himself and then learn from his mistake.) If it's a poorly prepared or unmotivated student who normally does the bare minimum, I'd be more inclined to just give him a failing grade. But here too, some good can come of it if the student is willing to recognize his problem and try to do better in the future, or even get some tutoring to help him improve his writing and research skills.

The pronoun 'they' is the third person, not second person.

An essay conveying information about someone or something will be effective using the third person pronouns, 'it', 'they', 'them', 'their' or 'their'.

Gains and Limitations of Agricultural Research?

Agricultural Research has been the leading force in productivity in this century. Agricultural Research encompasses everything from irrigation systems to bioengineering. The gains may be seen by the sheer numbers that one U.S. farmer can feed. In the 1920's one farmer could feed 25 people and today they can feed 144 people . We've the safest, cheapest, and most abundant food in the world, or fuel for your SUV's gas tank. The limitations of Agricultural Research are those of any area of research, money, ethics, and time. This is exemplified by the recent debate over genetically modified sugar beets. For almost a decade, farmers in Idaho and Washington state have been planting, harvesting, and selling sugar beets that have been genetically modified to withstand the herbicide, "Round Up" and similar products produced by Monsanto. These gm crops, as they are called, have been saving farmers time and money which, in return, saves the consumer and processor money. Despite this obvious advantage, various organic groups have been attacking the Round Up ready product which has received FDA approval. They say that not enough time and money has been invested in this crop to ensure that it is safe for the market place, also, they question whether or not it is ethical to modify orginizms, and that this will encourage an over use of the herbicide and therefor create "Super Weeds" that are also resistant to the herbicide. A court case has been called, and all Round Up ready sugar beet seeds quarantined with strict restrictions in place.
