I read through these questions and I’m surprised about many of them. Some of the question I didn’t able to answer and I was wondering do they really consider that a plagiarism. The most interesting question is question 4. I find it reasonable.

In question 4, you are in study group and you want to discuss the subject. Everyone came up with new idea to share and discuss. You found a good idea from another student and you want to mention the idea in your paper, Do you think that consider as a plagiarism or not and why?

On my opinion this is can be good you are away from suspicion because you were in-group discussing idea and share the same idea. Yet, in the default answer dr. Bloch addresses this is fade we can not consider it as plagiarism or not, we don’t know some of then consider it as plagiarism and some not, the main goal from making group is sharing ideas and you don’t have to cite it unless it is written down by someone. I learn if somebody make group that, we will have to use the idea within the group, because we are group and this is the goal for that. It isn’t challenging for me, because it reasonable rule and it will be helpful for students. I don’t think I will face this issue in my academic life.

The second interesting question is question 3. In question 3, you were reading and you find that the article is good for you, but the problem is the article refers to another article and you can’t reach the main one. Anyone can use it and cite for the seconded article without it copying and wording. Dr. Bloch states this is consider as plagiarism and you can’t take peril for this even if you cite it. On my opinion, there is no risk to do that if I cite it as the second one, because we don’t know for who is the idea is it for first author or the second. I find this issue is challenging and should be changed. It will affect my educational life, because when I need the information I will use it and cite as the second one.
