What I learned about the seriousness of
plagiarism is that, no matter how you plagiarize, and no matter what you try to
do to cover it up, it can still be noticed. There is no excuse for plagiarism,
and there are serious consequences behind every act. I wouldn't necessarily say
that the video fully changed my prospective and or understanding of plagiarism,
but I would say that it more so gave me some more insight when it comes to the
subject of plagiarism. I never really sit and think about that of plagiarism,
because when it comes to writing, I'm very long winded, and good at providing
needed detail to examples and topics given. I do not know of any other
instances of plagiarism either in school or beyond.
To Serena, copying and pasting
is a form of plagiarism, and is wrong. Doing this could not only get you in
trouble, but it is also punishable by law. Upon submitting the copied and
pasted work, you had a bad feeling about it. Instead of submitting the work,
you should have researched ways to incorporate work from another source into
your work, and then properly completed the assignment. Seeing how the
assignment called for you to brainstorm, you should have given yourself enough
time to go and look into what the "democratic system of government"
is, as well as what it stands for. Upon doing this you would have had a good
idea of what you needed to begin on your assignment. We all possess likes and
dislikes when it comes to specific things, especially when those things deal
with and involve that of our government. With that being said, I feel that you
could have taken the things you disagreed with, and created a list of things
that you felt needed improvement, as well as provided details for how those
certain areas could be improved, and what steps could be properly taken to
reach those goals for improvement and change if needed. It's never a good idea
or action to go and take someone else's work and use it as your own. If you
don't fully understand the work given to you, one way to handle this is by
first taking your time to read the materials given to you, and asking for help
when needed. Plagiarism can always be avoided at all costs. Upon reviewing
"6 Ways to Avoid Plagiarism and Generally Be a Cool Person." I
noticed that the steps call for, "Planning Ahead, Using a Citation
Generator, Using Turnitin, Paraphrasing, Quoting and Summarizing". Reading
about this would be really useful for those struggling with plagiarizing, and
for those who are unaware of what plagiarism is as well.
