For me, the number 1,2, and 6 questions were hard to answer. I had known that I could use my old papers in other classes because those are my works and are not plagiarized. According to number 1 question, however, using your old papers can be considered self-plagirism. It is better to ask teachers whether you can use it or you have to write others. The number 2 question was the most difficult to me. Common knowledges are known well and most people notice what they mean; so, I had thought that it is not neccessary to cite a quotation on common knowledges. But, they are considered the same as any other kind of knowledge and it is mendatory to cite. The number 6 was a little tricky one. According to this question, if a teacher use your works, then it can be plagiarism. That was the reason what Mr. Benson handed out a paper wheather students' works can be used.

I can now understand bettter and fix misunderstading about plagiarism from those three question, such as self-plagirism. In my words, plgiarism is taking and using any others' works and words without citation, even common knowledges.
