Since it’s also taking part of a work from another person without proper credit. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that we have very serious offenses similar to those who have practiced the real plagiarism. In literature, plagiarism has been an issue since the 1800s.

Justice/Fairness: For the benefit of the students, I propose that an alternative textbook should be used in order to help students learn their…
