Charms Class OOC Questions

@Zoë Fresnel

Awesome, thank you ma’am!

I have a couple questions about the homework.
Firstly, I know copying isn't allowed but I find it difficult rephrasing sentences like "concentration of the mind, precision with your wand movements, and enunciation of the incantation" as I would think that's kind of the definition and the best way to put it, and I was wondering if copying that (and other "definition" sentences) would count as plagiarism?
Secondly, I've applied for Prodigal Charms Learner and I was wondering if it's still required to do the RP if you have that ability or if there are any differences at all homework-wise with that ability?
Edit: Also, do you post your answers as a reply to the Homework post?

@Eleanor Talpin

You should always do whatever you can to add your own words to descriptions even small ones. While cases like this might not get flagged as plagiarism, when the description is very short, it would be a bad habit to go into an assignment assuming copied descriptions won't be flagged. It can be a case-by-case basis so I don't want to give a default one size fix all type answer on those types of descriptions. On your end, it would be much better to always assume that you need to find some way to make the description your own words even if it is just small modifications (like adding depth/analysis to the small description to break it up).

In regards to Prodigal Charms Learner, once you get approved for that ability you will need to do a 400 word RP for every spell you want to learn early. As a first-year, you will be able to learn any second-year spells from my curriculum but each spell needs its own 400-word post.
The Prodigal Charms Learner ability post explains this in further detail: Here
As well as the Prodigal Charms page in my class area: Here

I am a little confused on your last question here:
Also, do you post your answers as a reply to the Homework post?
You may need to elaborate further on that for me to understand what you are asking.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

@Zoë Fresnel

Thank you! The last question is how to send in homework. I assume it's the "reply" box underneath the assignment with the name and class etc added but I just want to be sure since it's anonymous.

Professors won't be able to see your name on there until they gave you a grade So it is anonymous as long as you don't give your identity away in the assignment (which you shouldn't do).

Hi!

I have two questions.
1-My native language is not English. Therefore, I need translation in some places. Without copy-pasting from somewhere. Do you mind if I just copy and paste the English version of my own sentences?
2-Can I add a picture to my homework?

@Dancelos Grey

Hello there!

1. I'm a little confused about what you are asking in your first question...Would you be able to elaborate or show an example of what you mean?

2. I don't recommend people add pictures to their assignments as it can break anonymity if their assignments become familiar when pictures are added so I would leave them out

I look forward to hearing back from you!

Magical Regards,
Professor Zoë Fresnel

@Zoé Fresnel
First of all thanks for the replies professor

My mean: I know that copying and pasting the definition from a site is prohibited. But in some places I have a hard time translating, do you mind if I copy and paste my own sentences in English while answering the questions?

i hope i could explain...

I believe she means, that since her english isn't perfect, if she can translate it in a translator and then copy it from there into the lesson.
