Week 3

In yesterday's class, we had a continuation of reflective writing from the second week's lectures and an explanation of a variety of subjects concerning writing.
There was an explanation of words such as plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting and many academic misconduct definitions. The main focus was on plagiarism and even though I've been in a foreign university before and we had an understanding of what is plagiarism and what is not, the lecture provided a way to learn more things concerning this subject.
Definitions concerning other aspects of academic misconduct were defined such as of cheating, collusion and any kind of penalties that may occur while "breaking the university rules" in a project or essay etc
