Last week, i have learned about the plagiarism. There were many types of plagiarism! I thought plagiarism is only cheating about the information by copied it to our work. But, actually plagiarism includes Google translation, fabrication, doctoring and undeserved attribution.
When some article you found being translated to another language, and you copied them without crediting the source, that's called plagiarism! When you cheat about data and statistics for a research, that's plagiarism! If a member of your group work doesn't do her work or didn't contribute to the group, but their name was listed as a member for assignment, it's plagiarism!
Generally, plagiarism did not happen during school lifetime, but it happens a lot to university students. It was most probably due to last minute assignment, take an easy act in cheating and didn't aware of plagiarism prohibition.
Some tips you may avoid plagiarism are, always get your work being cited. Put the credit to the owners of their article. You need to check your writing to ensure they are not plagiarize. Turn It In is a software that can check your work whether they're being plagiarize or not.
Faculty departments need to enforce the policies to avoid plagiarism work among students. This will keep their college's reputation and image.
I'm so grateful that i get to know lot of information to carry out my writing that will help me throughout the semester. I hope I could attain lot of knowledge from this class, academic writing too.
