Rachel,
I enjoyed reading what you wrote about Maureen Dowd. Before starting this week’s assignment, I had not realized how many well known people had committed plagiarism. In the case of Ms. Dowd, it is disappointing to think that she would commit plagiarism whether it was intentional or not. I know strive to be very careful when reading and preparing to write a paper, that I cite all my sources. I remember one time of having to leave some wonderful information out of a paper because I couldn’t find where I had received the information from and I did not want to commit plagiarism. Plagiarism is a slippery slope and one that should be avoided at all costs. It does not take long to find and cite a source and it will benefit you in the long
