What is plagiarism ?
In
a simple words, plagiarism is the act of stealing or taking person’s work for
their own benefits. For example, they use the sentences from papers or website and make it as their own work. From my last ELC550 class which is
English For Writing, I have just realise that there are many types of
plagiarism which is I did not aware before. The types of plagiarism are :
1. Collusion
Plagiarism
has many effects for the students who does it and to the education system. As a
students, I always needs to aware that there will be big consequence of doing
plagiarism. One will be suspended and expelled from their college/university. As
the effect, it will destroyed one reputation and their future as it will be
hard for them to get a respectable job. Plagiarism also avoid the students using
their creativity and critical thinking as
they take an easy way by copying their friends work or find it on a website
without having any citation. Their honesty will be questioned. Their chances to
develop some skills also will lose as they did not make an effort for their own
work. By doing plagiarism one will be hurt a lot.
Remember that there is no elevator
to success. You have to take the stairs…
