Wednesday 30

Hi everyone, Yesterday in class we disscused group's 6 article (Kimberly's). Intellectual property rights: conceptual awareness of research students about plagiarism. In the article it talked about the different types of plagiarism and how each of them has a different meaning, and no matter what the excuse is, plagiarism is plagiarism; wanting or not wanting to plagiaris. She gave us many good examples of plagiarism, one of them the article she had written with other of her classmates, she explained what had happened with the professor. Well this is all that was done on Wednesday. Nelly E. Martinez P.S. Sorry I didn't post this on Wednesday, I was having trouble with my computer.

hi everyone, today in class we discussed the article entitled "The Writing Approaches of University Students" on revision. we discussed the meaning of some key vocabulary from the article and the main points that we covered was the various writing approaches. these include the "elaborative", "low self-Efficiency", "reflective revision", "spontaneous-impulsive", and the last one "procedural". we talked about which method we thought we used individually and if there is a place for all of them in different situations or if there was only one correct way. there is more information about this in the article. as well just a reminder to be prepared for class on friday with the last article for group 5 on revision. also Dr. Phillips would like me to remind you that after this week there will only be one group left to present so if you feel yourself starting to get annoyed or bored with all this reading please push through it. just one more week!! :) remember the semester is almost over!!! hope this was helpful, if there are any questions please feel free to let me know and i will get back to you as fast as i can :)

Hey guys,

Today we discussed group 5 1st article "Research on Revision in Writing" they presented two videos that give some advise of the helpful that revision it’s such as that someone else read our paper it can be someone that knows the topic or someone that don’t know; however, both types of revision will be useful.
During their presentation they mention some problems that students have; for example, that we have difficulties in making change to our paper because we do not know how to revise or we do not want to modify anything because we feel that we change the meaning of the paper. In conclusion, we can revise everything because is a process to correct our grammar and ideas mistakes.

For the next class we need to read the second article "The writing approaches of university students"
