Testing Center

The following was an observation exercise for my Writing for Communications Class, I chose a place on campus and observed that location for a while. I did not reveal my subject in this piece:  Nervous tapping. Re-adjusting. No Eye contact. No words. Although the minds of each and every individual is anxiously screaming out for help.

Eye-glances are directed toward the feet. I think to myself, “oh cute boots” but this would be an inappropriate time to make such a compliment.

Is it Your Work?

Mar 23, 2013 by

Plagiarism is unoriginal, unethical and will never enhance your creative abilities. Even if you use plagiarism to get yourself a great job, I guarantee there will be a time where you will not be able to use someone elses work, you will be looked down upon when others notice the quality of “Your” work has gone down or your style differs from what you have previously presented. Shane Cole taught that Ethics is what is morally good and morally bad. The idea of plagiarism was brought to pass in 1716 when Facts, Ideas and names are being copied without permission. Queen Anne had a Law that a work belonged to the author for 14 years after they had produced their work. copyrighting is how we can prevent plagiarism. A copyright is any original work...
