I have graded the assignment with 0 score. Plagiarism is wrong, if he/she completed the recent assignment in Unit 2 of UNIV 1001, then he/she should know plagiarism will not be tolerated. However, given this student is new and I'm very sure he/ she is trying very hard to improve his/her life by earning a degree, perhaps he/she will be given a 2nd chance to explain him/herself for the misconduct? And what does a degree mean to this person's life?…
Yes, Tanishia plagiarized in her paper. Her simply changing a few words did not make the passage her own. She should have either rewritten it in her own words, or she could have made it a properly cited direct quote. In either instance, she would have needed to add the source to her Work Cited…

Response to “How Dumb Do They Think We Are?” by Jonathan Malesic In the course of learning, students transition from readers to writers. In most of the circumstances, academic essays require them to use other people’s ideas to develop theirs. However, the problem arises when the students can hardly present their original ideas without infringing the rights of other researchers.…

Plagiarism is defined as “the act of using another person’s words or ideas without giving credit to that person” (Merriam Webster, 2015). According to Nall and Gherwash, plagiarism is a grave academic offense in North American post-secondary institutions (Nall & Gherwash, 2013). That is why many colleges in Canada provide plagiarism policies. There are little differences about the purpose of those policies, however, the one of main goal is to keep academic credibility (Centennial College, 2007; Seneca College, n.d.). As such, in those policies, it is mentioned if penalties for plagiarism exist or not and how colleges process academic dishonesty.…

Academic integrity is a crucial aspect of being a student, and it becomes even more crucial to a person who participates in college athletics. Being caught with academic dishonesty, or cheating, reflects poorly not only on the individual, but also on the team and the university the student is representing. Student athletes are in the public eye much more than the average student is. Student athletes are being watched by the fans, the coaching staff, the compliance office, the professors, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), etc. If a student athlete chooses to participate in academic dishonesty, not only does he or she run the risk of being kicked out of school, but he or she also risks their NCAA eligibility, and punishment…
INTRODUCTION Academic dishonesty is a concern at all levels of education. Fundamentally when evaluating academic writing for integrity two attribution problems occur frequently. The first, plagiarism, is more well known, has been comprehensively addressed in literature, and has more established solutions. The second, academic ghostwriting, has received less attention and has not yet been systematically addressed. In fact the there are very few published research papers on the practice, and those that do exist many date from the past decade.…
In Susan D. Blum’ s article “Academic Integrity and Student Plagiarism: a Question of Education, Not Ethics,” she makes an excellent analysis about the issue of plagiarism in America. She points out two different views of plagiarism in western academic community recent years, that is, either treating plagiarism as a matter of morality or as a crime. However, nether of theses two approaches are failed, because there are many factors, like friendship, can incite students to break the honor codes, and many students still choose to ignore rules governing academic integrity. Thus, she concludes that for American students, plagiarism is not an issue of ethics, instead, it reflects a big problem in education. To prevent American students to plagiarize, like what she says: “Treating academic integrity as a constellation of skills, taught largely through the long apprenticeship of higher education, is the most promising approach for getting students to follow the rules of academic citation, and the one with the least likelihood of providing a shortcut.”…

Plagiarism is a serious offense in universities, it is often committed by many students in order to pass a class they have been struggling with. Some courses in universities are challenging, and some students are blinded by their desperation to pass the course and resort to negative alternatives such as plagiarism. This disciplinary action can be prevented in many ways by students and professors. The main reason students commit plagiarism is due to the education system, it focuses on standardized testing and making students memorize large amounts of information to pass tests. The education system has changed over the years due to the change of government and reforms passed, but what shouldn’t be compromised is the learning experience and integrity…
