This week I learned about the importance of not only
evaluating and understanding new information found through my own research, but
also the importance of understanding academic integrity. One of the most
important research practices is to conduct research ethically. Passing of one person’s ideas and information
as your own is not professional. It takes time and effort to conduct ethical
research and take what you have learned and put it into your own words. Each aspect
of the information we read this week pertains to developing your own ideas and
sharing what you have learned. Academic integrity reflects your character. I
want my work to reflect that. So this
means, citing sources as needed, understanding what plagiarism looks like and
taking new information and making it my own.
Hi Megan!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your view on last weeks plagiarism and Academic Integrity. I agree that it takes times for one to read and formulate their own meaning or understanding of a particular topic. I also feel that even after taking the information ones learned and summarized in a way they can retain, still requires recognition to the originator within the work cited. It's safer to over cite than miss giving credit where its due.
