Plagiarism

Hi -
What a week. My kids are driving me absolutely crazy! What can a 14 year old have to fight with a 5 year old? LOTS I need to get away. Thank goodness for school or else I would be so far over the edge. The husband is notmich help when he's home - it is just like a 3rd child - or a lump on the couch.
Anyway, plagiarism is the topic of the week. It used to scare the heck out of me, especially unintentional plagiarism. Now, three terms in to Kaplan and these College Composition classes has made me feel pretty confident in avoiding plagiarism. If it's not my idea I need to note whose idea it is - pretty simple!
If plagiaism was committed against me I would feel so....betrayed, especially if I knew who did it. I am not sure how I would handle it, I hate getting other people in trouble. I don't want to be taken advantage of either.
Now, back to those kids........

  1. Hi there Tara;

    I absolutely could not tell you what a 14 yr old has to fight with a five year old about because I have the same issues at my home as well only difference is my nine yr old fights with the 2 and 1 year old. I think it's sibling rivalry. lol i hope you have a great week and Happy Holiday's

  2. I do not understand the kid thing. I have a friend and one of her older kids just loves to hear the younger one scream and cry. She will aggravate him forever.
