Week 3


LEARNING  REFLEXION JOURNAL
                During this week I learned a new and interesting topic that is “Plagiarism” .It can be considered the act of steal the ideas, comments,and thoughts that come from someone else. Also, there are some people who take advantage from this, because they use the information from anyone else to do their own, but they do not give the credit to the original author. However, there are some ways to avoid “Plagiarism”. For example: Citing, Paraphrasing,and Quoting. All those are good examples to avoid “Plagiarism”. According with these we can use the information from other side and we can change the structure with our own words, but it is necessary to mention to the author. Besides ,we have the chance to use the Quotation for mentioning what other person said before ,but we need to use quotation marks(“”).As a conclusion, we should  respect the other people`s  effort and we must trust what we know in order to avoid stealing  someone else`s works to get  good grades.

  1. Alejandro,

    Your blog REALLY needs to be improved. First, your posts need to provide all the information I asked you at the beginning of the semester when I explained how to keep this learning reflective blog. You must keep in mind that the most important part of the blog is your reflection on your learning process. Your answers are too short and there are not good examples of this reflection. There are also some very basic grammar and structure mistakes, so please edit your entries again. Finally you should post your answer EVERY WEEK.

    Regards,
    Wilma.
