Hey Fonville Techno Students!
I know that you have been working on your exploding pie charts with explanation, and I have looked through many of them though am still grading them. They are looking pretty good, and I think most of you understand what you are doing. If you DON'T feel like you understand why I am having you do this, then be ready to ask me when I come in later this week.
For now I thought you would appreciate a joke pie chart created by someone (I really don't know who invented this thing) concerning Pacman. I know that many of you with an affinity for video games will know who Pacman is. You should ask yourself these questions:
1) What does this chart have to do with Pacman?
2) Why is this pie chart funny?
Admittedly, this is a little bit of nerd humor, but there is a little bit of nerd in everyone. (I will help you find the little nerd inside of you through at least one activity this semester!)
Plagiarism is when you somehow take someone else's written work and try to pass it off as your own. It can happen when you don't tell where you got information from or when you copy text word-for-word from something you are reading. Learning how to copy-paste is good, but you need to use it in only the right way!
