Giving credit

What would I do if someone used something you created without giving you credit?

To be perfectly honest about it I am not so sure what I would do. I seem to have the reputation by everyone that I know that I am why to nice and I seem to let a lot people get away with things that I should not. If I found out someone had stole work of mine and passed it off as there own, I would be really upset but I probably would not say anything. Its not because I don't think it was wrong but mainly because that is how I am, I tend to keep things bottled up inside and and never speak up especially when I should. Now to get right down to it if both of us was pulled aside by the teacher or who ever and was told that we had identically work then that is when I would speak up about it. I am trying to work on the fact that I should speak up for things that are not right.

online class setting

I originally signed up for online classes because I felt it was the best thing for me. I am a single mother of two kids who I feel like I barely see a lot now my daughter goes to school from 7am-3pm in the afternoon and since I work second shift she then goes to childcare start from school to 3pm-11:30 at night when I get off work. Now my son is with me in the morning still I leave for work but I still don't like the fact that they are in daycare so late at night. I like the online setting because it allows me the time to do my work at a time that is better for me verses having to find a way to be able to work and attend school in person as well has take care of the kids. Sometimes I do miss being in front of the teacher because there are some assignments that I feel I need the in class setting for especially when I was taking algebra I really wished then I was able to see and have the teacher live and in person, while I did pass I feel it would have being whole lot better if I was able to get the help I need one on one with the teacher. As of right now I really do not have any ways that the class community could be any closer, but when I think of one I will for sure post it and share with the class.
