She decided to, because Wikipedia is really hard to understand, copy the first paragraph of the article she found. When Angela turned in the paragraph, she did not give any credit to Wikipedia at all, and told her teacher that it was all her own original work. Is this plagiarism?

BONNIE’S PARAGRAPH
Clara is writing a research paper about gum. She learned that gum was originally made from latex, a type of rubber. She got this information from http://www.gumassociation.org/index.cfm/facts-figures/fun-facts-about-gum/. Clara got a lot of evidence and facts about gum from this site. Before she started her essay she learned about plagiarism, and she knew that she cannot copy and paste without “citing” her sources. Citing sources means to show where you get your information, and Clara put all of the websites at the bottom of her page, but she isn’t sure if it’s plagiarism or not.

As I engage this unit’s Read and Attend assignments, I find that my understanding of plagiarism is not as fully developed as I had previously thought. Our Unit 3 Attend assignment shares that “in a general sense plagiarism may be caused by carelessness” and these circumstances frequently precipitate the lack of care required while writing (Bethel University, 2014, p. 11). The academic integrity tutorial provided additional information which I found valuable as well. Common themes within each unit assignment provide strands of continuity, while assisting with a more comprehensive understanding. It is my opinion, the type of plagiarism that is hardest for me to avoid is “plagiaphrasing”, also known as “lazy paraphrasing” (Bethel University, 2014, p. 12).

We are also given what absolutely must be acknowledged in a list which includes “direct quotations, paraphrases, and summaries, controversial information, information given in only a few sources, and any materials that you did not create yourself” (403).

The Lightning Thief book and and movie are both great but have many differences and similarities. One similarity that they both have is that Grover is Percy’s protector and has to pretend that he is human even though he is also half goat. Percy, Grover, and Annabeth all look way older than in the book because in the book it said that Percy was 12 and that Grover and Annabeth were around the same age but in the movie they look more like 16 years old. In the book and in the movie, all three of them go to Medusa's shop but in the book they stayed longer because they didn’t know it was Medusa right away and Medusa was acting nice and feeding them. In the movie they went in the shop and split up and after they did that, Grover realized that it was

In any school you have attended, plagiarism is a situation that a writer should not put themselves in under any circumstances. When reading the essay “Something Borrowed,” Malcolm Gladwell gave insight into the flaws of plagiarism that writers may not have thought about before. The first being that plagiarism is never acceptable (927). The second issue with plagiarism is recognizing the differences that can or cannot “inhibit creativity” (931). Being inspired by another person's work can help and guide you to build your own ideas, but simply taking their work and claiming it as yours is not permitted.

Throughout “The Lightning Thief” by Rick Riordan, the main character Percy Jackson grows in many ways. Through application of Joseph Campbell’s Hero Cycle, Percy’s development as a leader over the course of “The Lightning Thief” can be analyzed (Campbell). Percy is born into the hero’s cycle at his natural birth and his call to adventure is the attack by Mrs. Dodds. Percy crosses the threshold, when he leaves Montauk with his mother and Grover and the first trial testing his leadership is on the bus with the furies. Trials exemplifying Percy’s growth include: the furies, Medusa, the Saint Louis Arch, the “Waterland” Waterpark, the Lotus Hotel, Crusty’s Waterbed Palace, and Hades and the Underworld.

To me Martha is guilty maybe not of plagiarism, but of copyright infringement. I believe she is guilty of copyright infringement because even though she cited her work she still did not receive permission from the original person. The reasons I chose the answer I chose is because after looking at the definitions you can make a guess. Plagiarism is the act of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. But because she didn’t copy the words or even take some and rephrase them into her own I would not consider it plagiarism.

Students are given a certain deadline for work that is to be handed up which will put pressure on and tempt students to find the easiest access to the relevant information needed.
