PLAGIARISM
University students sometimes plagiarize. They treat their school work, such as papers and assignments, as easy work that they can just copy from the Internet. It is the problem which now a lot of Universities are faced with. Using the Internet to research an essay must be so much easier than that students write their own essay by themselves. However, they still have to do their homework by themselves with their efforts. Students sometimes think of both their homework and plagiarism as frivolous things. That is, they think even if they cheated, faculties would never detect that students cheated. Students who often cheat on their homework would not acquire any skill such as reading skill, writing skill and creating skill with their original ideas while they go to the university for four years. If they keep cheating, they end up lacking in originality and creativity.

Hi - I looked at this before and thought it a good, concise overview.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what sort of punishment that you think would be good for a plagiarist? Is it a serious crime, or is it understandable in today's climate?
Best wishes,
RW.
Hi,Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteAs the thought in the textbook, I think not giving a plagiarist any degree would be good. Because if there was punishment which was not heavy for a plagiarist, a plagiarist would keep cheating. Not to let students think that faculties will never detect their cheating, I think faculties need to scare students with punishment in advance.
It is a serious crime today. Students who think of their assignments as frivolous things need to know how important to do their assignments by themselves.
