The Online tutorial, which is created by Dr. Bloch, is very helpful in understanding plagiarism. This tutorial is very good source of information for me because it helped me understanding properly the rules of plagiarism and how should I work in order to prevent plagiarism. With the help of this tutorial it describes different situation in front of student and it would help student to understand the rules of plagiarism properly. I found question 3 and 4 interesting. In question 3 Dr Bloch has proposed a scene in which a student found reference of the article but he is not able to find the book in which the article is stated so what should the student do does he need to cite the author or not. I would say that the student should not use the article because he is not able to find the book and if he has not read the book then there might be some ethical issues. And he would not give a proper idea about the book. The student should search for the book and if he gets the book then only he should use the idea or else he should use another idea. In question 4, I would say if you are given a opportunity to discuss about an issue before writing an essay then the whole group would discuss ideas and it would lead into reoccurring of ideas in the essay of that particular group members. The reason why I can use the ideas it is that the purpose of group discussion was that to discuss the ideas with each other. Thus the conclusion given by that particular group is going to come same. And if a student can’t do this then what was the reason for sharing the ideas in a group before writing the essay.
Thus I would say that the tutorial created by Dr. Bloch is very helpful for me, as it has helped me in understanding the proper rules of plagiarism.
