Week 3

    In this week I learnt many things about the principal topic "Plagiarism" that was a topic that we carried since the last semester because our teacher always tell us about it. I didn't know much about this, but in this semester I could realize that plagiarism is a very serious problem. In the forum we did, the teacher gave us many interesting   web pages to research this problem: http://www.pvc.maricopa.edu/researchhelp/plagiarism.html, http://www.plagiarism.org/, http://www.una.edu/library/help/plagiarism-students.html that were very useful because I can understand well the topic and how to avoid it.Plagiarism is to steal other author’s opinions, ideas, and definitions without citing his/her name. Plagiarism is very common because for students is very easy to copy and paste even without reading it, so they are not conscious about they are doing, they just do that because they think that in this way they do not make mistakes and the teacher puts them a good grade, but they are not growing with a criteria and they are not apporting with the society. It is very important to know because we can do a better job and I could use it in a future because I believe that by doing the things right, like: writing my own opinions and deducting what other author's saying can help me to develop my critical thinking and that`s good because I can create my own ideas by understanding the topic.
