How
our group members organize this presentation
Last
Tuesday, group 8 consists of Mohamed, Yifu Chen and Yang did a presentation
about plagiarism. We divided the topic into 3 main parts, introduction, definition
and the example. We introduce the topic to students respectively.
Firstly,
our three members came up with our own ideas about plagiarism. Then, we thought
of the process of this presentation.
Mohamed
introduced what was the plagiarism to readers. Basically, plagiarism like
someone copy another’s words or ideas without paying credit.
Yifu
Chen did four different definitions of the plagiarism from Wikipedia and http://www.plagiarism.org/plag_article_what_is_plagiarism.html.
He listed two definitions on the blog that he showed to readers last Tuesday.
Mohamed
raised his case that a famous journalist Fareed Zakaria of CNN used another
author's work without using as reference searched from website. He thought this
is an typical example of plagiarism in the united states . He got this case
from the New York Times website. “A
scandal Threatens Zakaria's Image as a Media Star" from the New York Times
written by CHRISTINE HAUGNEY, August, 19, 2012.
Yang
Qu found a typical case of plagiarism in China that happened recently. A
associate professor at Tongi University who resigned from his position after
plagiarizing a test given to his student from a test given at another college.
Yang Qu thought some people in china don't
care about plagiarism because the laws in China
don’t enforce it as much as it is in the United States . Also, he thought another
reasons for these people who do not care about plagiarism is that they got low
education level, so they have no awareness of plagiarism. Among the students in
China ,
they pay much attention to plagiarism.
He also did research about plagiarism in US
College. The goal of college education is to teach students how to produce
original thoughts and analyze ideas. Plagiarism adds nothing new and does not
show that the student has learned nothing.

Yifu
Chen and Mohamed found some ways to teach readers how to avoid plagiarism. They
also chose two specific ideas that listed on blog. Through these two ideas,
they hope to help readers out of plagiarism.
The goal of this presentation did by our three
people was to teach readers how to avoid plagiarism and told readers what plagiarism
look like in other countries. In some developing countries, people living in
there probably have no awareness about plagiarism or properties, so the
probabilities of plagiarism case happened in those countries is more than that
in some developed countries. In some developed countries, people will get a big
fine if they did plagiarism. On the contrary, people will get slight punishment
if they did plagiarism.
Overall,
our group members found different sources and ideas from websites. We still put
forward our own ideas about plagiarism.
