ENG103 DISCUSSION BOARD 5

Answer 1

Plagiarism is a crime, flat out. It is unethical and immoral to copy, verbatim, another persons work and claim it as your own, especially for scholastic uses. In order to avoid plagiarism, it is important that we give accurate references and paraphrase, rather that copy and paste information. It is important to consider the widespread effect of plagiarism. It effects all involved: The student, the owner of the information, the instructor, and even the site from which the information was stolen. Use the proper channels and be honest when completing assignments goes a long way. We must do what we can to prevent plagiarism, starting with ourselves and our own research. <span />
