| Where is my message? I did send it out several times in late Oct.!
In reply to Kevin's message, I personally think that we can't avoid being "monster makers," especially there are secondary and internet sources accessible to every student. I mean, if we are asked to give comments to a certain topic, can you be absolutely sure that it's your oriniality? Or we might just give comments based on what we hear from others, for example articles in the nespapers or news on TV, or we simply repeat other people's words, consciously or unconsciously? You never know. Would you prefer to call it "unconscious Plagiarism?" Sometimes I even wonder if there is orinality. Monsters and monster makers are everywhere. Is that something really bad? Is it a crime? In today's world, and in reality, you might want to think about it. |
