Plagerism

1. One thing that i learned from the presentation in class is how many people acually get away with plagerizing papers. I had no idea that so many professors let it slide and people just walk away untouched ready to do it again.
2. the biggest surprise that i got from the presentation was that as you go up the academic ladder the more sevear the punishment is for plagerizing other peoples work.

Journal Entry 24

1. The most difficult class that I am taking this semester so far has been my world cultures class. This class has been very difficult for me because the things that we are studying I am so unintersted in that it is hard for me to take in what he is saying. The subjects are so boring and has nothing to do with anything that I enjoy doing.

2. It seems that i learn beter by repitition. When i rewrite my notes i seem to remember the material beter and so now that is what i have been doing in my classes.
