What is plagiarism? Well, plagiarism is the act of taking someone else's
work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. In university or college, we
can see that most of the students tend to do plagiarism to finish to their
assignment. If you realize, actually we practise the act of
plagiarism since we are in the middle school, but nobody tell us that it is
wrong even our own teacher ask us to copy the work from somewhere such as
internet to complete our homework.
It is easy to find the
information for most research but there is a caution needs before you add the
information into your project paper. To make sure that your work is free from
plagiarism, if you find the research that fit with your project paper and you
want to use the information, first you need to paraphrase the words. Read it
and put it in your own word. Make sure you did not copy more than two words in
one sentence. The other way to avoid plagiarism is by using citation. The
citation is really simple and it is one of the most effective ways to avoid the
plagiarism.
In my point of view, nowadays
student wants to get higher grade but they do it in the wrong ways. The quality
of the works is not that important as long as they can finish their work.
