Plagiarised work may belong to another student or be from a published source such as a book, report, journal or material available on the internet.

‘I Martin Scott fully understand and abide by the Sunderland College guidelines on plagiarism. This work is my own and references to other work have been cited correctly.’

Due to the Internet academic plagiarism has become the most common and serious problem in school of all levels. “In Roget’s Thesaurus plagiarism comes under theft, and there’s little sympathy for those accused of stealing other people’s work and presenting it as their own” (Revell, 2006). Plagiarism is on the rise in academia due to two main reasons. One of the reasons is because students do not know how to cite sources and references properly, or students do not fully understand what constitutes plagiarism. In addition, many students do not know they can also plagiarize against themselves. Self-plagiarism or double dipping occurs when students use the same paper that he or she had submitted for another class without the proper citation of the original work (University of Phoenix, 2009). Therefore, when a student plagiarizes his or her paper it is equivalent to committing theft.

the idea from the original source must also be given proper credit. This means that the student

Plagiarism can be avoided by not copying anyone else’s works, or to properly give credit to the source whenever it is used.

Plagiarism occurs when a pupil offers the work of another person as their own (Kemperet al. 94). Plagiarism can happen both intentionally and unintentionally. Many people havecommitted this act at least once in their life, including myself. In fact, just earlier this year, Imyself was guilty of this very act. In preparation of returning to school, some academicupgrading was required of me. In the months preceding my return to postsecondary education, Ihad enrolled in two online courses simultaneously to meet this requirement. At one point in oneof the courses, I came across an assignment that was similar to one I had recently completed inthe other course. Believing I had discovered a simple yet ostensibly innocent way to save myselfsome time,

Plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s words or ideas as your own. Without giving the proper acknowledgement to the people who own the intellectual property one can see themselves facing major repercussions. The plagiarizing a student

TS – When discussing plagiarism, it's important to know where it comes from and why it may occur.

Plagiarism is taking someone’s work and taking credit for it, as if it were their own. Plagiarism is considered cheating, and is not acceptable. From personal experiences, I have learned do not plagiarize, as well as do not allow other people to turn in work for me.

I declare that this assignment is my individual work. I have not worked collaboratively nor have I copied from any other student’s work or from any other source except where due acknowledgment is made explicitly in the text, nor has any part

Students are typically assigned tasks and evaluated based on their understanding of the concepts that they are taught in class. Therefore, if a student plagiarizes other people’s work and presents it as his or her own, an instructor will be misled into evaluating the work of the original author rather than the actual student. This undermines the quality and meaningfulness of the learning process since students will not be evaluated properly (Hall 181). Moreover, students who plagiarize others’ work exert unfair competition unto students who are diligent and honest (181). It may be very disheartening for students who submit their own work to get lower scores than others who are dishonest. In order to ensure that learning occurs under fair conditions, it is important for all students to observe standard rules of academic

There were two resources explored for this paper the first was a video on “Avoiding Plagiarism (Liberty University, 2013). The first area of content the video looks at is, what constitutes plagiarism. This video rattled off several different things that are plagiarism. Such as, omitting quotations marks from quotes, and omitting other elements that may be a part properly citing in the writing format being used. Furthermore, some obvious forms of plagiarizing mentioned are using others work in part or whole and having other do the work for you. Self-plagiarism is a form of plagiarizing that is often forgotten about and requires a person to be extremely careful. The video also mentions a form plagiarizing that is not as obvious to students. This

It is surprising how facile plagiarism can be done. In addition, I did not know how colossal of a deal plagiarism is and how often it happens is. According to Education Week, their survey showed that fifty-four percent of students take information from the internet, without giving credit to the original writer and use it for their own class assignments (Hinders,8). Plagiarism is a crime that many people commit for several reasons and comes with consequences.

By submitting this work, I am declaring that I am the originator of this work and that all other original sources used in this work have been appropriately acknowledged. I understand that plagiarism is the act of taking and using the whole or any part of another person’s work and presenting it as my own without proper acknowledgement. I also understand that plagiarism is an academic offence and that disciplinary action will be taken for plagiarism.

times. According to Moss (2005, para. 1), “Plagiarism - the attempt to pass off the ideas, research, theories or words of others as one's own - is a serious academic offence.” With the definition Moss gave, it can be inferred that plagiarism is not only committed in arts and literature but also in the field of science and politics. Even the educated class of the society can or may plagiarize. Writing a paper makes one inclined to commit plagiarism but with the proper knowledge of plagiarism, its types, and ways to avoid, one can evade its consequences. Imagine working hard to the point of sacrificing sleep then one day someone decided to copy the hard worked paper
