After finished the 10 quiz, "The plagiarism tutorial", on the Internet, I can understand some specific situations, and these tutorial questions give me a window opportunity to improve my writing skills without plagiarism. Also, two questions, question 3 and question 5, aroused my interest which I have not though about.
Question 2 attracts my attention with very common situations. this question talks common knowledge, so do not know using citation or not. The answer is clear. We should use citation even it is common knowledge. In this question, I know what is correct answer. However, I always wonder how can I distinguish between common or not. Also, I wonder that these common idea can be used cite or not even it is common knowledge in a new field. However, question 2 shows how to prevent plagiarism in the new field. Common knowledge also same as other intellectual properties, so it is not mine. Thus, using citation is the best way to avoid plagiarism. Also, question 3 shows secondary citation which do not include original writing's credit in the reference, and the best way to solve this problem is searching other articles or if there are few writing which related with topic, I can use it with appropriate citation. I do not think about this situation because a article without quotation considers their own idea, and many article do not include appropriate citation on their blog especially. So, I confuse that article on the internet without credit is their own word or not. Many writing is shared on the Internet in Korea, and a lot of writing do not include appropriate citation in the article. So, students do not use credit because it is shared writing.
Through this 10 questions, I learned new strategy to prevent plagiarism. not only common knowledge in the text book but also secondary citation are should be use citation to avoid academic misconduct or plagiarism.
