Plagiarism

Hi everyone! The first time I heard the word plagiarism was my first term here at Kaplan. The three classes I took and every class I have taken since then, stress out the importance of plagiarism. How it can effect us here in college and in any other situation. It is important that if you are writing a paper and you take some information from an article or a book that someone else wrote the right thing to do is to give them credit for this since we are using their information. If we don't do this it is somewhat like stealing, this is my opinion. I never did this although when I was in high school the papers or essays that I would turn in never had a reference page but I would have to tell the teacher were I did my research. Now after the past terms I have had a lot of practice on how to do citations and specially the reference pages. I still need some work though but I think I will get through it.
