Unit 2 Plagiarism

I find the subject of plagiarism very interesting.  The IRIS tutorials were very helpful in clearing up questions I  had about plagiarism.  The video fest was funny and informative.  I remember when I took a Shakespeare English class and we had to write a paper.  The teacher was absolutely adamant that we did not plagiarise anything while writing this paper.  We would have been dropped from the class or maybe expelled.  She had me so scared that when I was writing and I put in a phrase or metaphor or some sentence I remember thinking, did I hear that before, did someone else already say that?  It was hard to know when to cite or when to not cite something you think is yours but sometimes in all honestly you are just not sure. All turned out well and she liked my paper.
