Plagarism

What would you do if someone used something you created without giving credit?

If someone took something that I wrote. I think I would first try to find if was a business, college student, or high school sudent. Then I probably think about if it was intentional or unintentional. Then I would let the appropriate person know that some my work has been stolen. Then what would be appropriate from that point is to call the person or write a letter letting them know that copying work without proper citing or giving credit to the oringinal author is inappropriate. This would be a first offense. Then I would also let the person know that continued plagarism would result in explusion from school or if it is a business this person could be sued.

Experience as an online student.

Hi Everyone,
I love being an online student and have the flexibily of deciding the time I would like to study. I had never be to college before and this is my first experience with college. I am pleased with what I have experienced thus far.

I am a busy wife and mother of four children. So having flexibility is so important for me. I don't think the traditional college campus would workout for me, since I do a lot of running around.

I like not having the ability to pre-judge my classmates by looking at them directly. I think this is a better way of truely getting to know a person and create true friendships that will last for a lifetime.

I do not have any suggestions at this time, about makin g things better. I think everything is great, and I navigate the KU web site very well now.

This term, I am struggling a little with getting back into the swing of things. I think it is because I got relaxed during the holiday. Now, I feel my enery and excitement about being is class comming back to me.
