Question 1:
In order to avoid plagiarism, and therefore side-step inadequate preparation for any academic work under-taken, it is important to understand how and when plagiarism comes into effect. There are numerous reasons why students plagiarise, whether intentionally or not and some examples of the reasons and also when it is evident in sub-standard work is described below:
1. When a student is short of time and directly uses words from a source, be it a website or a book, using this material they have copied to substantiate their own work;
2. Another example is when a student does not have the actual confidence in his/her ability when it comes to their command of the English language and then directly uses the same text from either a website of book
3. Lifting an answer directly from a website or book and passing it off as their own actual work, is another example of plagiarism.
4. Asking someone who has the professional knowledge to answer the question constitutes fraud as well as plagiarism.
5. Lifting material from a course book, only changing a few words and/alternating the sequence of sentences also constitutes plagiarism.
These examples highlight how plagiarism, and in certain cases fraud, comes about and contributes to unacceptable and improper academic work that has misguidedly been passed off as the student’s own.

Question 2:
a) As specified in the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 Part V, section 61(1), a senior police officer can actually decide if someone is trespassing on land, or indeed by ‘any constable at the scene’ can also make this decision , section 61(3) refers.
b) In accordance with the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 Part V, section 61(1), the number of people who need to be on the land before it might be considered trespass is two or more.
c) Aside from the people being on the land, before a police officer can actually direct a person to leave the land, he has to ‘reasonably

    When Julie J.C.H. Ryan asked one of her student they said, “I called all my friends and asked them how they usually do their papers. Most of them told me that they do the same thing. They didn’t know it is illegal and they can’t do that” (pg. 163). This happens sometime when the students are not aware of what is considered plagiarism in class rooms now. For example if using a quote from a passage in a book, the quote can only be five line long at most, or else it’s considered plagiarism.…

    Plagiarism

    Plagiarism can be defined as using others published ideas or words and representing them as original (Bird, Sivilotti, 2008).Although plagiarism is not a new issue it has grown it the past few years due the increase use of technology. Plagiarism is one of the most challenging problems facing education (Shenton, 2010). This being due to the escalated amount of material found on the internet with ease and quickly implement into one’s own document (Shenton, 2010). In today’s age plagiarism is more accepted in between students. Most students fail to grasp the concept of properly acknowledging the information from its original source; which they also tend to believe any information found on the internet is free to use (Shenton, 2010). One can argue that there’s has been a value shift which can be questioned, due to the increase in the legitimacy of cheating and plagiarism among college students (Gross, 2011). Research recently done in 2009 states that a shift justifying cheating and plagiarism has been replacing the traditional view of cheating and plagiarism being unethical (Gross, 2011). It seems as university administration are not as aware in this shift as some researchers, although the attention is focused on how to solve this problem cheating continues to increase (Gross, 2011).In another case several students were questioned about their decision making when it comes to plagiarizing: Some said it easy to do; they are confident they won’t get caught or just out of laziness; or they view the assignment as a waste of time or even if they don’t understand the class or topic (Power, 2009). While most students had been told by a professor not to plagiarize; most students themselves did not know how to apply it (Power, 2009). Some students view plagiarizing as a minor offense (Power, 2009). Plagiarism can be explored through many avenues with more students viewing plagiarism and cheating as more acceptable maybe this…
