Part I

The punishable perils of plagiarism discuss content that someone as an elementary student should understand. The picture and content clearly discusses how we can become brainchild snatchers or involve ourselves in self-plagiarism and don’t even realize it. We must always make sure we cite anything that we may use for any content we utilize.

Paraphrasing and summarizing are very similar. Paraphrasing is expressing
“someone’s ideas into your own interpretation”. Summarize provides “reader with a condense version of an author’s key points”. It can be a few sentences or longer. Paraphrasing and summarizing helps to take control of essay when used correctly. Again the content on how it was delivered was clear and to the point.

Part II

UMUC’s policy on plagiarism is very serious. They believe in being truthful and honest with information being presented to professors. In order to avoid plagiarism, information must be cited. A student can easily violate the policy, by having a more experienced person take the course for them, or have them do the homework that is being given. They also can give user name and password for a person to log on to act as if they are them. If you think about it, when you work for a corporation or someone period, they believe you are not going to be dishonest. They are entrusting you with their company or business, personnel, etc. It works the same with being in school. Being we take courses on line, the school is entrusting us to not have someone take our courses, exams, homework, etc.

Teachers, students or anyone else that know academic dishonesty is occurring, should report it immediately. They believe that if this was to be exposed, then there are consequences that person will have to pay. It may be getting a penalty or expulsion, or extreme noted where any college you try to attend they will know why you were expelled due to plagiarism. That will ruin your brand and that is not what you want to be labeled as. In life, our brand for any job force is everything to us. It's how people view you. I know sometimes people said “well I don’t care what people think”, but you should care how people view you in your career. I will always want to be labeled as honest person who has integrity and morals. The career path, I am currently in along were I plan to go, will take the same thing with integrity and value ethics. I will make sure I abide by the colleges policy. Work hard for what you want to receive.
