However, after all this , I will have a great winter break!

 

I did many things today. I finished everything for csa, the annual budget plan, the request form, and purpose letter.

So many things, and then wait for people. Seeing house, shopping, eating dinner and had a good time playing uno. 

It was a good time. But there are so many things need me to take care. Homework, outlines, and next speech prepare. Mid-term, tomorrow meeting and running. I do not know should I finishing choosing class now or not. 

it is complicated time. Confusing time and no relax opportunity.

Study here is good, meet people here is good ,even sleep here is good. 

Nothing special. just focus on your homework and everything you need to learn.

it is power of knowledge.

Today I am here again. the only different is I am prepared. I am not hungry and I have warm clothes for going home.

I know it is important to study so I am in the library. Not at home, no one can distract me and there is no entertainment going on near me. Everyone is studying now, it is hard to not study here.

yes I know I will finish everything when the library closed.

The purpose of this lab is to help you understand what plagiarism is and to learn how to avoid this unethical behavior. The lab requires you to read the following scenarios and consider the questions for each.

Scenario 1: You are doing your research for your informative speech and find the perfect statement to begin the speech. When you give your speech, you use the quote but do not acknowledge the source. Is this plagiarism? Why or why not?

Scenario 2: You are researching your topic and find an author who articulates the four main points you want to make in your speech. When you give your speech, you change the order of the points and paraphrase or change the wording of the author’s statements. Is this plagiarism? Why or why not?

Scenario 3: You and your friend are enrolled in two different COMS 151 Public Speaking classes from different instructors. You decide to cut down on your workload by sharing your speech assignments. Your friend researches and writes the outline for the first speech and gives you a copy for your speech. You research and write the outline for the second and give your friend a copy for her/his. Is this plagiarism? Why or why not?

Scenario 4: While researching your speech in the library, you came across a set of statistics that undeniably supported your claims. You wrote down the information on a note card with other supporting evidence. A few days later, as you develop your speech, you realize you forgot to write down the source. You think you remember the title of the book but are not really sure. During the speech, you create a title as reference that is as close to the title as you can remember. Is this plagiarism? Why or why not?

Scenario 5: While surfing the net, you find three or four speeches on the topic you have selected. You download all them and cut and paste your speech together. During your speech, you refer to all the sources used. Is this plagiarism? Why or why not?

Now, write a two-page paper responding to the following questions.

Please write your responses into the text box below, or if you author this with a word processor, paste your responses into the text box below. 

for the first scenario, it is definetily plagiarism,do not acknowledge the source is kind of use other's word as yours. It is not good.

Second scenario,changing order but same context can be plagiarism too, however paraphrase or change the wording of the author’s statements is kind of rewrite, but you still need to mention who is the oranginal writer.

Scenario 3, it is plagiarism. Simply copy and use it as yours and do not mention why did the research and who write it. Even it is yoru friend and this person agree to do so. It is still unethinic.

Scenario 4, it really depends. You already give credit but you cannot find the organal source name. So it is not a real plagiarism.

Scenario 5, it is plagiarism, cut and paste is the first wrong step and do not mention the authors is the second wrong step.

according to A speaker's guide book " Plagiarism—the passing off of another person’s information as one’s own—is unethical. To plagiarize is to use other people’s ideas or words without acknowledging the source. Wholesale plagiarism occurs when you simply “cut-and-paste” material from sources into your speech and represent it as your own. Patchwrite plagiarism is copying material into your speech draft from a source and then changing or rearranging words and sentence structures here and there to make the material appear as if it were your own."(75)

 

how to avoid plagiarism, and when you are not sure,"The basic rule for avoiding plagiarism as a public speaker is straightforward: Any sources that require credit in written form should be acknowledged in oral form. These include direct quotations, paraphrased information, facts, statistics, and most other kinds of information that was gathered and reported by someone other than yourself. " (75)

It is easy to get into plagiarism, so please be careful to use other's work. Especially articles on internet, try to use tools to exam your paper. Like turnitin.com and other useful tools as well. Always remember give creidit to author when you use any of others' idea, put them in quotation or rewrite it and mention the organal source.
