This was painfully hilarious. Great information that is critical for the success of any student.

Although this video was a bit odd, it was really informative in its own way. I was mostly aware of all of the forms of plagiarizing except the last one, which is still a bit confusing. I also found the one about self-plagiarizing a little bit surprising because I wasn't really aware that using old papers that you wrote were a form of plagiarizing. It was a good video overall, even though it was a bit odd, which allowed it to be easy to remember about the forms of plagiarizing.

The humor in this video was awkward but it's very informative since students sometimes accidentally plagiarize. Good video to watch if you are a little confused on how to cite or prevent plagiarism.

This video is a good starting point and a good checklist for avoiding plagiarism. Self-plagiarism can be a bit odd and a bit of a shocker when learned about at first. So, the video was pretty comprehensive and made its points well.

This video was a bit awkward to say the least, but I believe that it could really help students avoid plagiarism. Also, in my opinion, self-plagiarism is a silly concept because if it is your work, you should be allowed to present it as many times as you please.

Some of the cases they covered were useful, but the rest of them were pretty obvious. I felt like I was being taught a lesson from middle school.

Regrettably plagiarism is still ubiquitous these days. A considerable amount of students feel lost in what they see as an unnecessary sea of writing formalities. Academic writing qualifies as intellectual property and therefore credit must be given to the rightful owner even when that individual is oneself, for organizational purposes.

I personally really enjoyed this video. Even though plagiarism is no laughing matter it provided some comedic background in the video. I can honestly say that I have been that girl to have everything correct in the body of my paper but because I'm too tired and forgot to make note of my citations, I completely make up citation at the end of the paper which is something that I shouldn't do and don't recommend anyone to do.

This is a good video because some students and unaware that they are plagiarizing by accident. Even though I was not a big fan of how they explained certain aspects, I still found it interesting and useful.

This video is a good way to help some students find out what plagiarism is and if they are doing it.
