Academic Skills ( Task 1)

Task 1 : Reflective Practice

Student are required to write an essay of their own understanding about individual creative practice and plagiarism with supporting material. The essay should be 750 words

Nowadays, many people develop many type of products, arts, books and gadgets. All of this comes from the individual creativity skill. The meaning of creativity is being able to use your imagination to come up with something different and unique. Creativity can be having the skills to come up with stories, having the skills to come up with new methods to do something, or even thinking up a new concept. Creativity skill can be develop by practicing. In order to be creative, you need to be able to view things in new ways or from a different perspective. Among other things, you need to be able to generate new possibilities or new alternatives. Plagiarism is taking other people’s work and incorporating it into your own work without acknowledging the original source of your information or ideas. Examples of other people’s ‘work’ can include anything taken from Internet sources, the spoken word, graphics, data and written text.. Plagiarism also can be defined as stealing and copying. Even so, plagiarism also has benefit such as for practicing in drawing arts.

Creative Practice

Individual creative practice is very important in this modern era because it is needed in developing skills. In education, individual creative practice is needed for students in order to have the skill to make new ideas and improve their ideas. This practice is needed for them for facing the world of profession. For example, artist need creativity for making new ideas for their art work. Creative practicing has benefit that can help for the best of one’s own. Creativity goes way beyond your ability to paint a nice picture and towards challenging your whole way of thinking about things. Creativity itself able to evoke emotion, doing things that you like reduces stress and improves overall well-being.

In addition, creativity can help you build better relationships. Imagining how things look through another person’s eyes can enhance your empathy and understanding. And deciding to try a different way of responding than usual when someone irritates or annoys is a creative way to avoid difficulties. Creative practicing can also help boost up self-confidence. They will be able to live up to their full potential and have much less doubt in their own abilities. For example, showing your work to other people and  let them give their comments or opinion on your work to help you develop even more. Someone who has developed their creativity through practice and experimentation and training can be a great asset. To be able to quickly and effortlessly come up with creative solutions in an instant, will make them highly desirable for nearly any industry, especially creative industries.

Copying other people’s work is always has been done. This included the young and old. Everywhere in the world plagiarism occurs. This happen because everyone has their own attitude and problem. Some people plagiarize because of their laziness, copy text from journal, books and internet to make their work with less effort then to using their own ideas. Some people plagiarize because bad in managing their time. This always happens to individual who have their schedule full. This type of people will do their work on the last minute. The feeling for racing with time will lead to plagiarizing. And some people plagiarize because they have no self-confidence of their own work so they plagiarize.

Plagiarism

In academic setting, the risk of getting caught is on the rise as teachers are learing to access the same resources as students. If the plagiarism is discovered, the penalties range from academic probation to complete expulsion with incident marked on one’s permanent record. Plagiarism in professional world is something harder to detect but the consequences are more serious. The higher standard for behavior among working adults condemns the professional plagiarist to public discredit and subsequent blacklisting. Even if the plagiarism never becomes widely recognized, the act itself goes against professional courtesy and respect for colleagues. The least obvious disadvantage of plagiarizing is that it doesn’t cost any creative effort on the plagiarist. Without the conception and realization of new thought, progress, both of the individual and the affected society/company, grinds to a halt.

As conclusion, individual creative practice is very important to help developing the country in order to gain a better life for all and this should be practiced often to be expert in it. Without practice, it will be hard to compete in the world of profession. On the other hand, plagiarism shouldn’t  be practice. Otherwise without realizing, it will become a habit. It’s better to do yourself then copying other people’s work.
