Abby Miller (FGCU): Plagiarism
Nowadays many students turn to plagiarism when they have a paper to do and not time to do it, or they are just lazy. Plagiarism is copying someone’s work or ideas without quoting it or citing where you got the information from. Plagiarism is illegal and has many consequences. You can result in failing an assignment, failing a class, even academic suspension depending on how severe the case is. Since plagiarism has become such an epidemic, some teachers now have their students turn in their work and research papers on websites that scan other websites to make sure that the student did not just simply copy the information and say that it was their own work. One example of a website like this is turnitin.com, they try and prevent students from plagiarizing. Many people believe that plagiarizing is okay if you only use one sentence of borrowed work. This is not the case, even if you only use that one sentence you still need to cite it and state the source. As the days go by less and less people are plagiarizing because of the severe consequences.

plagiarism can actually result in an expulsion from a college. if you are expelled from any college for that purpose it would be very difficult to get accepted into another descent college. plagiarism isnt something that is taken lightly at any college. if you plagiarize they will find out and there will be consequences. i believe this is a good thing because i wouldnt want someone stealing my work that i worked my butt of for and take credit for it. that isnt right and i know i would never do that and take advantage of certain things.

I am glad to hear that plagiarism is going down. Here is one way that new technology is helping. It’s kind of ironic that the same technology that students are using to plagiarize off of is now helping to catch cheaters (websites). I believe that plagiarism is just as bad as leaning over and stealing the answers from a classmates test or quiz. It’s more than unfair I think it is also a question of morals.
