Yup, you should be really vigilant about plagiarism. I wish there were somebody telling me about it before.

​@changkao_ they taught us in the foundational course. You didn't have that course?

Yup be careful!

I'm also starting September but am doing associate degree

@@youngvibes3303I’m also starting and this was very informative.

luckily it didn't haunt me but I did feel stressed a bit :)) just like your effort just wasted

yup the opportunity is narrow now but I hope we all pass ;)

Thank you so much for supporting the channel and me. Hope you a blessing year 💜

Thanks for your recommendation about turnitin, I will check it out soon. Feel free to drop me email at changkao.contact@gmail.com ;)

Same😥

I think you started your study earlier than me maybe UoPeople already changed their program a bit. Before CS 1101, I needed to study English 0101 and Online Education Strategies ( it’s all about citing and referencing) to become a degree seeking student. The funny thing is that I didn’t see those violation rules mentioned in OES course. They said it’s all written in UoPeople catalog but I guess not many people pay attention to all details in hundred pages of the catalog until they made mistake. I think UoPeople just added Online Education Strategies lately after students made a lot of mistakes in plagiarism. We could see from our president speech, he repeated so many times about students begging for fixing their mistakes… I think Unicheck could do the plagiarism checking well but you gotta pay for it, there’s limited features when you use it as a free account. Now I try to write everything myself and cite whatever I get from the internet, I’m already scared. You’re also recommended to get no more than 40% from other sources in your paper, gotta be careful still!

@@changkao_ still similar I guess. After ENGL 0101, I took UNIV 1001 and CS 1101 at the same term. And that's also what I sm doing. Being very careful with citation etc. But I sm still sticking with the free pagiarism checkers tho.

I didn't think begging worked according to the university rule in the catalog. You also could see from the President's speech, a lot of heartbreaking emails sent to him from students he didn't accept 'cause that's the rule and people are treated fairly that way. I didn't attempt to do so when I knew there was a chance I made a mistake. Be careful, man anyway!

Even you put the reference, the source you use better not get over 27% of that. I don’t remember the exact percentage. basically you can just use other source then reference it there but there’s some limit in still.

@@changkao_ thank you so much! My fear of plagiarism is really my major issue why I still didn’t have the guts to start studying. Even though this horror happened to you, the way you explain how to avoid it helps me a lot. ☺️🙏

I did happen to me once but I contacted the professor and explained that I uploaded the draft and I remember that I submitted it and I didn't know why it showed up non-submited and I almost got non grading for the assignment. But the professor checked and found out that I uploaded things on time and he did give me the score for work. And I've learnt thing that I need to check it again and again the status of submision to make sure it's uploaded. I hope it's going well with you then.

proctored courses are the ones which there will be proctor in the exam Non-proctored ones are the ones you take the exam by yourself normally multiple choice question. There’s no one looking at you, just you

Whatever you use, you need to modify it into your work and add the reference source in APA standard. Beside double check it with plagiarism tool to make sure your work is plagiarized or not. If it’s informed you are plagiarized, whatever you submit gets failure risk.

If you are unsure about the question, use chatgpt to put it into simpler terms for you to understand. That's all you are allowed to do with chatgpt. If you use chatgpt to create an answer, then you haven't actually done the work yourself. This is grounds for plagiarism/collusion, which is not allowed.
