Unit 4 Post

in this weeks reading what i found most intresting was the most common misconceptions of plagiarism. I actually had no idea that it was plagiarism to reuse your own work in one class and use it for another class. I never really thought about it being plagiarism but apparently it is . Before i read the chapter I only thought of plagiarism as copying someone else's work or not giving someone credit for the work they had written. I know I sure would be very mad if someone used my work and got all the credit for it and i didnt get any credit for it at all.I had no idea there was so many ways you could plagiarise intentionally or unintentionally.

  1. Hey Sara I understand where you are coming from. I thought the samething. Only with me I just didn't quote one paragraph and it became plaragrism. Then if you take the class again you need to let your professor now so they are aware of you taking the same class so it doen't happen again for you using you using your own work.
