      As a student I have heard in every class I have ever taken, the dangers and the dishonesty of plagiarism.  Plagiarism is using another person's work as your own without giving any credit.  This is unethical and discouraged for many reasons, but the main reason being someone else did the work therefore they get the credit. Someone else information or knowledge cannot be used verbatim without acknowledging them or giving credit in any circumstance but especially if something is copyrighted. To copy right something is to own the rights to that idea, concept, song, book, etc. If someone does attempt to use your copyrighted item without your permission it could end in legal action. This is in place because many people rely on their idea being the only one of its kind. Otherwise they would be competing for the same ideas and it would not be a fair market. However, fair use is a doctrine that allows people to use very limited copyrighted ideas without receiving permission from the o

      I use Microsoft word for almost everything. This includes taking notes, organizing my thoughts, writing my Christmas lists, writing extensive essays, and many others things. It is a staple in my work and school life and I would say I use it almost every day. I prefer Microsoft word over anything else because it is the most universal and user friendly. If I do not know how to maneuver something, I can usually look it up on google and find the answer.

   My name is Therese but everyone calls me TC. It is not my initials, just a nickname my older brother gave me when I was very little. I am born and raised Tallahassee and have only ever lived one other place. I am a senior family and child science major with a minor in education. I am very excited to graduate in the summer and hopefully go to nursing school after I graduate. I will more than likely be attending Tallahassee Community College nursing school to continue my education. My main goal is to be a nurse anesthetist so I have a lot more school in my future.      I do not have a lot of experience with technology, especially in education. I have only used word and excel for school up until this point. I have done a little bit with PowerPoint and even less with google docs. I have never really had a need to be fluent with technology so I am excited to get more exposure with this class. I have my own laptop and am learning more programs I can use to help me with assignments and fut
