Hi Everyone, its almost the close of another week, wow time is really flying! I was thinking about our blog questions this week and remembered a time in high school when my teacher asked us to think of a topic and write 7 pages on it for our final. One of my close friends and I were brainstorming about what we would write about. I came up with a topic for my paper and was so excited about it but when we got to school the next day she told the teacher it was her topic and took all the credit for coming up with it. Needless to say I was so angry and hurt that my friend would do this to me. In reflection on what we have been learning about citing and plagiarism I can completely understand why its important to give credit to whomsoever information we are using. I can imagine how mad someone would be if they saw my name on a paper with all of their hard in it and I was taking the credit for it.
