The most notable form of plagiarism mentioned in GCU’s Academic Integrity Scenarios is most definitely scenario three which refers to “self-plagiarism.” This is a concept that not many would think of as a type of plagiarism; however, it can be argued that is just as serious an offense as traditional plagiarism. Building on that, academic dishonesty wholly undermines the purpose of graduate school. As discussed in previous discussion posts, one of the major components that set graduate learning apart from learning at the undergraduate learning is the ability to think and analyze critically. Recycling previous work is not only lazy, but it is cheating (both yourself and your school) and pays no heed to the investigative process essential to…
I am aware that the plagiarism detection software programs are not the only means that will be used to detect plagiarism (i.e. having a zero percentage originality report may still result in plagiarism).…
Next is the Plagiarism Checker. This program lives up to it title by checking for plagiarism. Plagiarism is easiest defined as stealing or copying someone else’s work and trying to pass it off as your own. Plagiarism is a very serious offense in my opinion. This program is specifically designed to keep you from plagiarizing someone else’s work. Once you submit your paper to the Plagiarism Checker it will provide you with feedback to let you know if any portion of your paper has been plagiarized. If it comes back identified as plagiarism it is our responsibility as students to either submit a reference paper citing the original author or rewrite that portion of the paper in original words.…

In the paper "Anorexia The Cheating Disorder," Richard Murphy argues that less known yet more troublesome aspect of plagiarism is the undermining effect that it has on the relationship between a professor and his students. This rapport that initially was considered one of trust and teamwork, becomes one of hunter/prey, where he and the students become opponents, no longer working towards a common goal. Murphy reveals his emotional struggle when faced with a suspicion, due to the difficulty involved in assessing its accuracy.…
In reading the essay “Should Educators Use Commercial Services to Combat Plagiarism” the authors gave some conflicting opinions on educators using plagiarism services. I chose to focus on this topic because so many of my fellow learners/peers are not clear on plagiarism and how plagiarism services work. Plagiarism is the intentional use of someone else’s work without giving them credit. Services like Turnitin detects plagiarism. Some educators suggest that concern with plagiarism should be more about teaching students to appreciate the development of knowledge, acknowledge intellectual contributions of other scholars, and represent the process of building on existing knowledge in academic writing and less about violating rules and copyright…
I understand the nature of plagiarism, and am aware of the University’s policy on this project. I therefore certify that this report is based on secondary research material analysed by me during my project. The two main secondary sources are as follows:…
The credibility of this website has decreased through the years thanks to professionals who have proved information in this website to be erroneous. This has obligated instructors who assign research assignments to restrict students from using this website as a source for information retrieval. Most teachers who assign research papers have as a goal to make students college ready in the sense of restricting students from plagiarism. “While supporting the goal of openness and verifiability, the username structure of the site provides complete anonymity for its editors and administrators, which renders the site constantly vulnerable to vandalism and fraud.”(Miller)…
The Internet can be a valuable resource of information, but many popular websites cannot be trusted because they have plagiarized. One such popular website that commits plagiarism is the Huffington Post. In fact, Arianna Huffington, who owns this website, has committed plagiarism throughout her career. Arianna Huffington has committed plagiarism with 3 of her books and her online newspaper (Phillips, 2012).…
Plagiarism is seen as a huge issue in today’s society, and often a top priority issue for modern university. The media often covers issues of plagiarism, writing editorials on the rise of cheating in college and high school, and a whole town’s reputation can be ruined when a story breaks (Valentine, 2006). This promotes the idea that plagiarism is connected to one’s ethics and morality. However, this was not always the case with any academic or work of art. During the rise of the humanities in the late fifteenth century and onwards, imitation was often considered an acceptable and even an intellectual practice. Neo-classism supports the idea that imitation was the best way to learn and develop style and many authors from both the classical era and the eighteenth century recommended that students use imitation as a tool (Buelow, 1990). So when did society stop seeing imitation as a form of flattery and instead a form of cheating and unoriginality, and how does one create a style while staying within these ethical boundaries?…
Plagiarism is when a person uses another person’s work, words, or ideas as if they were using their own. When a person plagiarizes they can simply use a few lines from another person’s creation or just a few quotes without citing a reference. Plagiarism can be as simple as that or more detailed as when someone uses an entire composition and passes it off as his/her own. However when a person plagiarizes they are doing great harm to themselves. Plagiarism comes with consequences that are often severe.…
Recent studies suggest that plagiarism had been exaggerated especially among university students nowadays. The students often procrastinate their homework or assignments until last minute. At the end, they try to finish up their assignments by copying directly from their friends or other medias without giving any credit to the original authors. The unaware of this problem causes students practicing plagiarism. Plagiarism is a word from Latin, plagiarius which means stealing other ideas or works without attributing them.…
