Reading Response 9/25
There were many key points that we talked about in class on Friday. They obviously all revolved around plagarism, but some stuck out more than others. One of the things we discussed was that when you allow your roomate, friend, parent, or english teacher (etc.) read over and fix your essay, that is considered plagarism. We also discussed that obviously copying and pasting is plagarism, but changing around the words into “your own words” is also considered cheating. This is because the original idea or thought is still being taken or stolen from the source you took it from or referred to. Another key point that stuck out was that it is considered cheating to use papers from other classes or previous years. All of these examples are considered cheating and are academically UNhonest, and will be resolved with consequences even to a point of being expelled from the University.
