According to Lowe & Dougherty (2014), intentional plagiarism typically stems from fear of failure, poor planning/time management skills, or viewing the course material and the consequences of cheating as unimportant. Unintentional plagiarism is usually caused by a lack of understanding the use of proper citations when attempting to integrate ideas. The best way to avoid plagiarism is to learn the appropriate use of citations and the proper format for references. Understanding the difference between using someone else’s words in a direct quote and paraphrasing is important, as each method requires the information to be cited differently. Aside from learning the appropriate use of citations and references, it is necessary to understand the importance of course materials and the seriousness of the consequences for cheating. Learning proper time management skills will also help students to remain vigilant when citing sources used to support the information being…

Plagiarism is not being truthful about your own work and trying to rewrite in a different way as if it was your own words. For example, copy information from the internet, not citing or paraphrase properly and not having a reference page. Yet, many people wonder why students plagiarize. I believe students plagiarize because some students wait until the last minute to do their work, rushing trying to turn in their assignment, not properly understanding how to cite, paraphrase, or use citations. However, other students just do not know how to write a paper properly and want their paper to sound different from their own writing.…

Here is an example of plagiarism, in which the student intention was to perhaps paraphrase. “Biomedical researchers incorporate strict rules of science into their work, which is examined by peers. Yet the resulting information can be warped for five seasons: ending a study too soon, not publishing negative results, publishing results too early, skimming over or ignoring drawbacks, and “buffing”. In the original passage the writing is more thorough and in depth. The student basically paraphrased the entire passage by using very little words of their own and only deleting a minimal of a few words that came from the original source, and…
The strange thing about plagiarism is that it's almost always pointless. The writers who stand accused, from Laurence Sterne to Samuel Taylor Coleridge to Susan Sontag, tend to be more talented than the writers they lift from. The well-regarded historians Stephen Ambrose and Doris Kearns Goodwin, recently charged with plagiarizing, fit the profile. Ambrose denied plagiarism but pledged to correct the errors in future editions of his latest book. Goodwin's case resulted in a private settlement and more footnotes.…

Mady potts (20120 states in her essay that the interner contains thousands of forums that write essays for students. But what kind of essays? These essays are very expensive, full of grammar mistakes and most of them are not delivered on time. However, Howard and Davies(2009) show that teachers in universities are trying to avoid plagiarism by punishing and accusing the students who do so. They neglect the fact that students need to know the simple techniques of quoting, summarizing and paraphrasing and also to be oriented about the techniques for online searching with the presence of thousands of online sources. By comparing these two essays, i found that davies and howard essay is more convincing than the other for many reasons. First they have presented the problem and its solution rather than only the problem. Second they use a convincing tone rather than the unconvincing tone use by potts. Third, their essay contain much more examples and clarifications than the one by Potts.…
