Plagiarism Tutorial
The author, in question 2, describe the citation of textbook for common knowledge.
He also demonstrate the three possible solutions we may choose when dealing with
this kind of problems. I would choose the first solution in order to avoid plagiarism
since the author points out that it is the safest solution.
I think it is significant since I am a university student and I may choose some subject
that I have never learned before. It is useful for me to know what to do to avoid
plagiarism when writing paper of the new field. I will not risk my paper of plagiarism
and use the ideas even they seem like common knowledge. I also think C solution is a
good idea because it can make my paper supportive.What confuses me about this question
is the definition of common knowledge. In my opinion, some knowledge may be viewed as
common for the experts of this field. However, they can be quite specific for the new
comer.
In question 8, the author analyzes the situation about cutting and pasting in the
Internet. Obviously there are two choices--Yes or No.
I think it is a kind of plagiarism even the source comes from the Internet.
This situation is commonly seen for us since we surf the Internet everyday and the
sprit of Internet is sharing. I believe that putting the reference is not that wasting
time. What's more. We should be carful to avoid plagiarism at any time. We will search
a lot in the Internet because it is convenient to find the useful information. But use
every information without reference is risky. Internet is a kind of sword of Damocles
and caution is necessary when taking advantage of the sword. I think developing academic
integrity is always important because it relates to the morality and a clean resume without
plagiarism would be helpful in the career development. So just keep away from plagiarism.
