Blog 9 Plagiarism Tutorial


The website esl.osu.edu/staff/bloch/plagiarism is a online tutorial source for plagiarism topic. There are ten question in this plagiarism tutorial and these question teach us how to do the right thing when we facing the same situation.
From question 3-6, I would like to talk about question 6. Question 6 asked if something you wrote was taken by your professor will it called plagiarism. The answer is definitely yes. Because whatever you wrote belongs to you and it's same when you already published it. I prefer to talk about this question because i was asked to write the permission sheet for my digital story. I never thought what we student wrote can be so important and if someone uses it they will be called plagiarists. It's true i heard how serious plagiarism can be but i didn't realize they really treat plagiarism so serious. In China there is always something in my mind that whatever professors do cannot be challenged.
From question 7-10, I prefer to discuss question 8. Question 8 asked whether it could be plagiarism if you just cut and paste from Internet. It's a typical situation which may face by all students. Unless you use quotation marks or make a reference list, otherwise you may be involved in plagiarism.
This tutorial helps me understand more rules of plagiarism and taught me how to choose the best way to avoid plagiarism.
