Cheating and plagiarism

For me, I just know the surface of that 2 words ....

Cheating - not so serious

Plagiarism - very serious

Actually the word plagiarism was first time which I heard during my first year master at UM. May be I am teaching Malay, that's why this kind of english seldom used and apply in my daily life.

Then, yesterday presentation sure give me more impact, expecially for the word of plagiarism. Just a simply definition, no cut and paste in our writing. One thing i might be more curious is there a machine used in UM to trace the validity of the student project paper or thesis??? How other university??? Was there possible all the univerisity got a tool to evaluate their student works???

My refelection and thought on Lesson 5 ( 12/2)

The instructional strategies which is mentioned during the presentation like drill & practice, demonstration, interactive instruction, experiential learning always practice during my lesson. But the most instructional strategies which I used is interactive instruction, like role playing, peer partner learning, cooperative learning and discussion. During the Teaching and learning process, we can try a lot of instrcutional strategies to enhance learning. No matter how to acheive the learning outcome is the main purpose of usinf variety of instruction strategies.

This semester, I had register my project with the title collaborative learning in designing a education game. I am agreed that student is very creative and always motivated specially by the instructional strategies which is using by the teacher in the class. So, I will try to use collaborative method to see the effectiveness of it to design a educational game.

No matter how, What student learn depends not only on what they are taught but also how they are taught. These beliefs require that much closer attention be paid to the methods chosen for presenting material.

Instructional Strategies- Lim and Chun

Instructional methods are used by teachers to create learning environments and to specify the nature of the activity in which the teacher and learner will be involved during the lesson. While particular methods are often associated with certain strategies, some methods may by found within a variety of strategies.

Lesson 4

Today's lesson quite confusing because Dr. Tee used a lot of new term which I am not really understand...example : reintegration and subjectivity so and so..... but after that Dr. Tee gave a very good example regarding Lim...haha...then suddenly my mind like..wow...it was quite easy. Anyway, i was quite interested with what Dr Tee said...agree with agree and agree with diagree....

Even this is the fourth class, but look like a lot of homework and classwork need to be complete. I was suddenly like blur and lost because so many thing came to me....my school work, my research paper draft, my assignment.....wow, can't imagine that I look like a superwoman...haha

Anyway, Dr Tee is great. I like his teaching because it was quite different from other teaching style. No matter how, I really hope to learn a lot of stuff from him....kampateh, Dr Tee.
