3.2 What I have discovered and learned from the T306B is the meaning of handling or managing complexity and how to take care of it as it is an essential expertise that has to be in anyone who is learning business administration in general. The significance of handling complexity is how to cope with a particular or set of issue that is or are experiencing a company, through distinguish between the difficult and the mess circumstance. And so to handle complexity I will have to recognize when the case is difficult or mess and then working with it.
- During this project I have discovered and learned to apply what I’ve took in this course T306B and how to be able to do
Plagiarism Policy of Conestoga College and University of Toronto According to all North American post-secondary institutions’ policies, cheating and copying of someone else’s words and thoughts as one’s own, is a serious academic offence and can be punished by expulsion. Conestoga College (Conestoga) and University of Toronto (U of T) also have the serious academic offense in regard to plagiarism. For example, in section 15 of Conestoga’s policy, it states that the students found violating the policy will be issued the following penalties, and on page 18 of U of T’s policy, it states that plagiarism is considered a serious offence against intellectual honesty and intellectual property. There are some similarities and differences in regard to plagiarism policy.
1. When have I learned? In what circumstances? Under what conditions? I have learned during the last two weeks, from working on finishing up our power point presentation.
Plagiarism Statement (Adapted from http://salises.mona.uwi.edu/FSSCourseworkAccountabilityStatement20080122.pdf) I understand what plagiarism is and what penalties may be imposed on students found guilty of plagiarism. I certify that this assignment contains no plagiarized material. In particular: I have referenced all quotations taken from other works to the source from which I obtained them and clearly indicated in this assignment by the use of quotation marks or set-in paragraphs; I have clearly indicated all paraphrases and summaries of material taken from other works by appropriate framing and/or referencing; Where I have used material from other works, I have avoided the use of cosmetic paraphrasing, thereby ensuring that I have presented paraphrases and summaries that are substantial
Highlighted in blue are the pieces of work that been seen as plagiarism . Explanation in red TUTOR MARKED ASSIGNMENT 8 Jules is 13 years old and attends a large comprehensive school. He has always experienced high levels of anxiety, and these difficulties appeared to get worse when he entered secondary school.
Module Three Rough Draft One of the most common problems in our schooling system is that students cheat. This happens a lot with older students who struggle with the topic that their assignment is on. In “The Shadow Scholar” by Ed Dante, and “Introduction: Fraud and Fundamental Misunderstandings” by Shane Borrowman shows how students cheat to move on in their education. In both of these texts the authors tell their first-hand stories of their different students cheating.
Case Citation: Sturdza v. United Arab Emirates District of Columbia Court of Appeals, 11 A.3d 251 (2011). Facts of the case: The United Arab Emirates held a competition for the design of a new embassy in Washington, D.C. the UAE informed Elena Sturdza that she had won. They began to negotiate a contract, but the UAE stopped communicating with Sturdza and no contract was ever signed. The UAE had contracted with a District of Columbia architect, Angelos Demetriou, to use his design for its embassy.
The nature of cheating originates from the common misconception of helping others and a student’s lack of self-confidence. Plagiarism, not so different from cheating, disperses from the broad range of information on today’s technology. Through an authentic study, it has been revealed that teachers have established many students who have cheated their way through complexed assignments. Even misleading students who have kept a high grade point average has been found as participants of academic dishonesty. Today, professors seek to find different measures that should be taken to decrease cheating and plagiarism.
Through her writing, Janice Fabro describes how plagiarism contains both direct and indirect negative outcomes. Direct effects of plagiarism include failure in a class, but
Plagiarism is defined as the act of representing the work of someone else as your own (AERA, 2011; APA, 2010; APA, 2012; Cozby & Bates, 2012; Creswell, 2014). According to Fisher & Partin (2014), there are two forms of plagiarism, which are deliberate and accidental. Deliberate plagiarism is the intentional attempt to pass off the work of someone else as your own, and accidental plagiarism is unknowingly using the work of someone else without proper citation and referencing (Fisher & Partin, 2014). Commonly, plagiarism is thought of as submitting someone else’s work for an essay or school report and can include submitting the entire artifact as your own, or using a small portion of the work, such as paragraph or sentence without properly citing the original author (Cozby & Bates, 2012). Submitting someone else’s work in place of completing the work themselves is an ethical dilemma most students understand; however, oftentimes, students do not understand that it is equally important to cite the ideas of others even when expressed in their own words.
As I engage this unit’s Read and Attend assignments, I find that my understanding of plagiarism is not as fully developed as I had previously thought. Our Unit 3 Attend assignment shares that “in a general sense plagiarism may be caused by carelessness” and these circumstances frequently precipitate the lack of care required while writing (Bethel University, 2014, p. 11). The academic integrity tutorial provided additional information which I found valuable as well. Common themes within each unit assignment provide strands of continuity, while assisting with a more comprehensive understanding. It is my opinion, the type of plagiarism that is hardest for me to avoid is “plagiaphrasing”, also known as “lazy paraphrasing” (Bethel University, 2014, p. 12).
One of my goals during this course was to gain a better understanding in this subject and avoid plagiarism in every aspect of writing. The assignment on plagiarism taught me a lot. Before, I did not know paraphrasing was considered a form of plagiarism. Throughout this course I have worked hard to give credit to writers, authors and every source of my information in my writings. I believe I have improved in this area.
Most colleges demand that students must not try plagiarism, which are the act of taking another person’s opinion and passing it off as one’s own and so on. So, on the subject of plagiarism between George Brown and Seneca college there is similar section which is basic contents of the assignment and difference which are punishments for plagiarism about suspension period and score. In these points, although both colleges seem to be similar to each other, they have minutely different portion. According to both colleges, in the similarity, they discuss about basic content of assignment which are format of citation, information of sources.
・Describe what you did. This does not mean that you copy and paste from what you have posted or the assignments you have prepared. You need to describe what you did and how you did it.

Students are given a certain deadline for work that is to be handed up which will put pressure on and tempt students to find the easiest access to the relevant information needed. Students may feel after submitting their own work that they do not receive the result they deserve and therefore could tempt them to take data and information from other sources in the hope to receive a higher grade in their next assignment. Whenever a student uses sourced material, this could be either published primary or secondary material, but can also be information got from other people, it must be indicated. It entails a solid set of values and failure to comply with these standard ethics may constitute an act of plagiarism. There are several things that count as plagiarism for instant, quoting exactly from another source, any ideas borrowed from another source, all ideas taken from the internet and any ideas paraphrased from another
In Dudley Delvin’s “Plagiarism in America,” Delvin expresses his opinion about the growing plagiarism epidemic in America’s schools and presents a solution to correct the situation. The modern student body has begun to view plagiarism as a common practice since much of the information used is available instantaneously. Students often fail to see the issue of using another individual’s ideas as their own since the ideas are made public, allowing others to obtain the information. To solve the epidemic, Delvin proposes a solution that increases the surveillance of student work and incorporates zero tolerance policies that punish students for the use of plagiarism. Plagiarism has increased at rates proportionate to the advancements in technology.
