Plagiarism
we have been working a lot on plagiarism. It is important to cite our sources because we do use a lot of everyone's work so we have to give credit where credit is do. To not cite one's work is not right. If someone used your work and did not cite that it came from you then you would probably be pretty upset, I know I would. so it is only correct to cite the information you get from that source.

Kim,
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike! If we do not give credit to our sources, we are beyond wrong. Like you said, if it were to happen to me, I would be irate about the situation.
Have you been having fun with the APA format? I keep referring back to our textbook over and over. My last instructor, Miss Rose, said that she still refers to her book too.
Just for practice, here is a citation for our textbook:
VanDam, K. & Tysick, N. (Eds.). (2008). The KU handbook for writers. Ohio: Cengage Learning
You know I did not know how serious Plagiarism was until I started going to college. Just think in my past years as a High School student and even Jr. High, I have been taken credit for someone else work,for that I am sorry.
ReplyDeleteHi Lavenia, you really do not know how important Plagiarism is either. But in college they do not play. You gotta learn or you can be kicked out for real. It is so serious.
