I have experienced (not in this forum) people misinterpreting the meaning behind my words due to the lack of inflection in email and message boards. Even when someone knows the personality of another the written words may come across ill-intended. Another would be to really read what you are writing and try to look at it from another's perspective. What if someone were writing the same thing towards you. How would you take it?

"Don't Trust The Technology" It seems so obvious, but we have all been bitten by this problem. Just because it looks good in your computer screen doesn't mean it will on someone else's.

Indeed, part of the reason we blog is to help others avoid the mistakes we made in the past. :) Plus, today's students are so busy and distracted that it's sometimes important to just "get back to basics" and give them a rundown of success strategies to help them get through. Thanks for joining in that crusade. Loren, thank you.

This is a really good one. This is going to be one of those long answers. Strictly speaking, no. Plagiarism is reserved for the use of outside resources without properly giving credit to them. However, that said, it is unethical to reuse your previous work from another class, unless it has been significantly revised and changed. Thus, an instructor has a right to reject work that has been submitted elsewhere. So, honestly speaking, students take this risk all the time. But in an age where instructors are using technology to track student work, the odds are increasingly against such practices. Now some instructors do disagree with me and come down harder or softer on this, and we'll see if they post a response! Hello Brie, thanks for your question. This is a really good one.
