The resources in this unit and so far in the course have focused on how to cite information. When you use a source in your writing, you have to make sure to cite it or you may run the risk of plagiarizing it. But, what is the big deal of plagiarizing? This discussion board examines plagiarism.
Initial Post
Lets consider a scenario: You have been working for a fairly well-established investment firm for the last four months. You and a coworker were both assigned to write a report on the same startup business to determine if you should invest in it. Your coworker asked to see your report to verify some data. The next day, you and your coworker hand in the same report.
In your initial post, consider these questions:
How would you feel in this situation?
How would you deal with this type of plagiarism situation in the workplace?
What actions should your boss take?
