PLAGARISM
I always have been very creative and had the desire to express my thoughts and ideas. I also enjoy hearing other’s thoughts and ideas because we are all so unique and special. I find it disheartening when someone steals another person’s idea and claim it as their own. This reduces the value of the originality and credibility of the person who did not cite the true owner of the idea, quote, music etc.
I write articles, lyrics, poetry and have been working on my first book now for a few years. As a writer we always want to share our works of art but at the same time always have to protect our work through copywriter to prevent another from stealing it and claiming it as their own. Plagiarism is not acceptable and is one of the down sides to creativity. However, any piece of work that originated from an artist’s thoughts and ideas and then is manifested into full expression is worth the risk!
Kaplan University is now planning to add a Creative Writing course. . . which will hopefully generate enough interest to develop into a full Creative Writing program.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think? Do you think you and other students will be interested? What format do you think the course should take? Faculty are generating ideas now. Would the writing workshop format be best? Or, should the course be set up with different assignments in different genres?
