Unit 4 Posting - Plagerism

Hello Everyone

Plagerism is a scarey word to everyone. It can happen at any time and be completely unintentional. Even when you were in grammar school and writing that book report. You were trying to impress the teacher and used words or phrases from the book without thinking that you were actually trying to take credit for someone else's work. As you grow older and attend college it can be an even bigger slippery slope to be on. I know that it scares me tremedously that while writing my paper I will do something wrong or not give credit for something, even if it was just an oversight.
I love to write and always thought I was pretty good at it, but now in learning how to not plagerize it makes me wonder if in any of the writings I did, was there plagerism on my part.
I do know that I am the type of person that needs step by step instructions, as well as hands on, to really understand what is expected of me.
