Plagiarism is not smart!

I am really annoyed right now because I just finished this bog and accidently deleted it becuase it was saved in drafts and I didn't know it was the actual blog. I'm pissed.

But basically, the two articles, "What is Plagiarism" and "How to Avoid Plagiarism" are long, and very informative. I am really lucky I read these because I could have gotten in big trouble. Phew! Here are some of the things I learned:

In "What is Plagiarism"
1)Tells us what is and isn't plagiarism
2) Paraphrasing without citation is considered plagiarism
3) Tells you what and what not to quote.
4) It is plagiarism if your paper has more quotes than your own words.


In "How to Avoid Plagiarism":
1) Cite EVERYTHING. If it's not your idea- cite it
2) You still have to cite your teacher's lectures.
3) Not only do you need to cite everything, it needs to be correct. 

I need to watch myself haha!

The Anthropology Professor was cool AF

I freakin' loved this guy. Growing up, The Mummy and The Mummy Returns were one of my favorite movies. I still think they're pretty classic. So the fact that we were going to be talking about the history of Egypt (and more) excited me.

The anthropologist was so smart. He really impressed me. Even though he was the most monotoned person I've ever listened to, he threw it down big time and showed us pictures of hieroglyphics, mummies, all the sites he's worked at, the tools he uses, he taught us a little Arabic... mentioned that he lived with the locals in Egypt. No big deal! Then at the end he told us how he worked with the production of The Mummy movies! He actually gave information to the makers of the movie such as the dialect and weapons used. He showed us what was real in the movies and what wasn't really that historically correct. I found his talk very interesting :-)

Macbeth....

 Naked Shakes created their own, new version of the famous play, Macbeth. For the most part, the play was pretty boring. I went into the theatre with a bad attitude, so that already took the play (from a 10) down to a 5. The outfits sucked! I could barely tell who was who. And how they had to put the masks down made it pretty awkward.  The lighting was cool is guess. The only interesting part of it was when the actors made parts of the set (such as the King's throne) by using their bodies.I was awake for that part. It was random and different. The dialogue was difficult to follow and listen to.  I've read Macbeth so I know what happens, which made it even more uninteresting. Shakespeare is a genius and this play was a disgrace! Just kidding... but this play did not grab my attention at all and mostly confused me and gave me a chance to check my Facebook. It successfully put me to sleep. 

The Librarian

This week's lecture was presented by one of the Librarians of UCSB, Mrs. Jane Faulkner. She pretty much told us about her life and how she created a career out of her passions, and discussed the usefulness library. She was very passionate about the library. She taught us how to research in the library and how important it is to know how to do it. The library is the best way for us to research via internet because the Libraries web site has one of the largest library systems in the world. 

I was un able to attend the Career field trip, unfortunately.
