Welcome to the Second Week of Orientation! 😃 During this week you will learn all about  plagiarism  and  peer-assessment . You may think that you’re already familiar with these topics, but I’m sure you will learn so much by reading the resources presented this week. I know I did! 👍 📝 Plagiarism Did you know that you can plagiarize yourself?! I didn’t know that either! 😵 During this week I learned the importance of citing phrases and ideas I use in my essays and reports. Yes! You need to cite ideas too! (I didn’t know that! 💫) Academic writing is really awesome, I’m really looking forward to take  English Composition I and  English Composition II  to practice and learn more about this type of writing. Based on what I’ve read, let me tell you that  academic writing is an entirely new way to express ideas . It is very rigorous because you need to cite every idea, phrase or paragraph you incorporate into your writing. Even if you chan...
