I did not know that it was that easy to get something copyrighted or that you can get just parts of it done and allow some of it to be used as any one wants. I poked around the site and it looks simple. The little video was pretty straight forward and easy to understand. It is interesting that because of the Internet, things that were not happening are now happening, and quickly in very new ways. What was once an expensive legal problem is now only a few mouse clicks away.
As far as the assignment goes, the 1st example doesn't need to be cited because its just a person describing a trip in their own words.
2. is someone giving their idea of what the US is about and doesn't need to be cited unless they came from some one else.
3 Needs to be cited for the 57%. Where did that figure come from?
4 Needs to be cited for what they are saying about what King thinks. How do they know unless they read it, in which case, it needs to be cited
5. Looks to be cited correctly
6. Also looks to be cited correctly. They are quoting directly from the letter in which case they put quotes around what was taken word for word and stated that it was in the Letter from jail
7. In this comment she did say that Kara told her so I believe that is a cite of sorts
8. I believe this should be cited. It needs to be cited where it is that it is guaranteed.
I think I had a pretty good idea of how to handle plagiarizing but its good to refresh and make clear. Basically, if you are repeating what someone else said or wrote, or giving their idea, you should give them credit. Unless its an original thought or idea, its someone else s and you need to cite it and let people know where you got it from. And, if in doubt, cite.
Hi, Karen:
ReplyDeleteThanks for your efforts. I will give you full credit this week for the class video blog but in the future, please make your comments on the blog and join the "conversation" that the comments form.
As for the plagiarism assignment, you demonstrate your knowledge of how and when to cite. As well as knowing when to check if you are unclear.
Cheers,
Andrea
