Today's video is about 'Plagiarism'. The video shows that a student comes to the writing center who knows nothing about 'Plagiarism'. She did not intend to give credits to anyone in her writing. The tutor explained the consequences of not mentioning the proper source in a writing to her. But the student was upset and defensive. She left the center. I think the tutor could handle the situation differently. She told her that she does not need to change the writing. But, it's not right. if the writer does not change her writing the issue of 'plagiarism' still stays.
Another situation portrays the same issue. But when the writer learns about the problem in her writing she fights back and starts argument about unrelated topics with the tutor.
Both the situations demand special attention. A tutor needs to explain the seriousness of 'Plagiarism' very well. The writer must learn about MLA and all other formats of citing sources.
