PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is using someone elses thoughts and ideas and not giving them the credit they deserve. I worked in this restaurant about 10 years ago and wrote a trainging manual for them. I was waiting for their decision on whether or not they were going to use it. To my surprise they went ahead and rearanged the words but the idea was the same and I received no credit for it. This was very upsetting but there was nothing I could do. I didn't keep a copy trusting them to do the right thing. It is important that when we do research that we give the authors the proper credit for the work that they have done. That is why we citate them. Sites like Wiki are not liable sites since people who go on this site can edit the authors original idea or fact. It important that we always keep our ideas fresh and not use previous ideas in our past or future clases. I am learning how to use proper citation this is my second term at Kaplan and writing papers is not my specialty. I am always learning something new in this class.
