9/3 Reflection

In class today we learned many things about sourcing. One of the main subject was plagiarism and how it can affect people in negative ways. One thing I learned and was surprised by was how plagiarism is an immense problem in Japan. In American schools plagiarism is taken very seriously and anyone  caught doing so can be kicked out of the school in the worst case. Being in an environment like that it was surprising to see a place where plagiarism is a problem but has just started to teach younger learners about it. Another idea we learned today was crowd sourcing. When we were typing in websites about one subject one problem was that some people found the same website and wrote it down on the sheet. I learned that with this it would be a efficient way to get a vast amount of information about something rather than everyone having the same idea.
