Plagiarism Stinks

Hello all,
I thought that I had better write about one of the things listed in the blog section of our week 4 page. I will talk about how plagiarism stinks. People don't realize sometimes that they are doing it. When this happens it's not meant to steal anyone's thunder. It is simply an accident and if they are told of this they can correct the situation. Then you have people who do this on purpose. These are the people who want to take credit for someone else's work so they don't have to work as hard themselves. It's not hard to cite something when we use it. We all need to be aware of where and who our sources are and always cite what you have written if you think that someone else has written it before you. "When in doubt, cite." It doesn't hurt to have a lot of them. Just make sure that you don't overindulge. Make sure your own ideas get in the writing as well. After all, that's what you're readers are looking for. If they wanted to read someone else's work, they would. That's all for today and I'll see you next week.
