If someone used some of my work and didn’t give me proper credit I would be upset. I wouldn’t be ok with it because I put my hard work and own thought into what I created. I would want it to be known that it was my idea. This actually happened to me last quarter. I answered one of the discussion questions and put a lot of thought into what I said. The next day I read another one of my classmates work to do another response and I realized she copied and pasted all of my work. She stole my answer to the discussion question and reposted it as her own and then most of the other students replied to hers and not mine. I was upset because I felt like I was being bypassed after all the work I did. This is why it is proper to give the person credit who created whatever they created. Heck, I was ready to sue. : )

Hello Charity, Its nice to be in class with you and Good Luck with rest of the quarter. Sorry that someone had to be so lazy and steal your work. Did you report that situation. Well, like the old saying states " What goes around must come back around." TTYL
ReplyDeleteHi Charity,
ReplyDeleteThis happened in one of my classes a few terms back. I did not notice until the student being plagiarized privately emailed me to report it. I really was greatful she reported it to me because I would not otherwise have noticed. (I read so many posts! :-))
I was able to email the offending student privately and counsel her on plagiarism, suggesting she re-read the syllabus and the KU policy. This student learned a lesson.
