In this week our teacher gave us some web pages related with plagiarism. First, we read this information to understand more about this process. Then, we work in pairs into the platform and answered some questions that we wrote in the forum. After, I learned that plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward. Also,I discovered that we can do plagiarism in different forms. For example, when we turn in someone else's work as your own, when we copy words or ideas from someone else without giving credit, when we fail to put a quotation in quotation marks, when we give incorrect information about the source of a quotation, when we change words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit, or copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not. Moreover, I read about citing. Itis to cite the authors name and the sources you have taken the information when you write an essay. By citing you show your credibility as a writer. You also provide an opportunity to share information with others. Finally, we exposed about APA Style. It refers to the rules and conventions established by the American Psychological Association for documenting sources used in a research paper.This document has a reference list that provides the information necessary to identify and retrieve each source. In conclusion, I think that I will be able to apply this new knowledge in my future researches. Also, I won’t forget that the expression of original ideas is considered intellectual property and I must avoid doing plagiarism.
