'internet detective' tutorial

internet detective tutorial give us knowledge to use internet for finding resources of our essay with an effective and good way. It is not just find in search engine and use any link that we need, but we have to find the right website where can give us the reliable and published sources. We can find it on the university library website that have electronic journal or electronic book on it or find the website that have list of reliable published writer and some website made us have to pay to see the journal because of it is copyrighted. The tutorial is very useful for students to help finding the sources for their essay and to avoid unnecessary low mark because of the wrong referencing.

Referencing is putting all of sources that we have found and used it in our essay for academic purposes. It is important to do to avoid plagiarism.

Reflective writing on the pre-sessional course and university study

Pre-sessional course has gives benefits a lot to prepare study to every subject for further study in british university. It gives you knowledge of academic writing and mind that help to make easier to follow the study in university. British university life is not as I expected, it has just more exciting, where there are a lot of people from every part of the world. There are many differences between the style learning and teaching in the UK and my country. Learning and teaching style in UK is make students think independently, not just following the teacher or lecturer. It would be very exciting going on to the further study in the university, which I'm planning to take master degree in law subject.

it's getting more serious...

understanding plagiarism

Plagiarism is when someone taking some other original works or thinking and use it and pretend it as own works or thinking. Examples for plagiarism are copying work from a book or internet without referencing it, copying someone essay, buying an essay , submit an essay which is used for another module, collaborate with someone. There also some act that considered as not obvious plagiarism which are copy, paste something from internet, not noting down the referencing details, copy, paraphrase and organise writing from text books, not referencing resources in the body text. Plagiarism should be avoided. Plagiarism is regarded as a very serious offense in academic purpose.

reflective writing

one of the learning activities for this month study is having a seminar or discussion. It is interesting to have seminar with international student because there are many different thinking based on their knowledge and experience from their study at their country. It is very useful to have seminar or discussion for some subjects that we have to discuss. By having a seminar we can discuss some cases with different opinion and idea that can helped us to get summary for one subject with better conclusion which based on wide of thinking. Maybe there are some difficulties with language and vocabulary when someone want to give some ideas and opinions so sometimes it is difficult to understand and to follow it. But it doesn't matter a lot, because each of student will help the other students when they have difficulties in language.
