Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a good week! I briefly learned about plagiarism while I was in high school. At the time, I never really understood the seriousness of it. After learning more about plagarism in college, I understand how wrong it is. If I put a lot of time, effort, and hard work into writing a piece, I would want someone to give me credit for my work. If a student were to plagiarize a paper, it could have serious consequences ranging anywhere from failing a class to being expelled from the school. I don't believe you are really learning anything anyway if you just copy someone else's work. Citing your work is also very helpful to the reader of your work. If the reader wanted to go back and read more on a subject, having that reference makes it easier for them to look that information up. I would hope that if I ever wrote a piece that someone would give me credit for all my hard work, and not just copy it. :-) Hope everyone has a good week!!!

I totally agree with your blog it was nicely written and clear about how you feel concerning plagarism. I also did not know much about until this class and a previous class that I have taken. Hope you have a great week as well.
