Plagiarism On The Web Is As Easy As 1-2-3

This article is basically about how the internet has made it
extremely easy for students to plagiarism their school assignments. The
internet has provided students with a great deal of information and many
have been exploiting it. Many teachers are quick to acknowledge that
cheating, especially in the form of plagiarized assignments have been on
the rise and many attribute this to the easy availability of information
on the web. A recent student conducted reveals that nine out of ten
teachers now believe that students are plagiarizing work off the
internet.
At the stroke of a key, students can now gain access to pre-written term
papers, hundreds of essays, articles and journals, ideas that can be
passed off as their own. When so much information is so readily
available it¹s easy to see why plagiarism is on the rise. The article
points out that these web sites providing students with pre-written
works are generally considered legal as long as the authors don¹t
complain.
Teachers and professors are now beginning to fight back. First and
foremost, instructors state that plagiarism must be clearly defined to
their students and consequences must be clearly communicated. Another
method to combat plagiarism is to have students submit research notes
along with the paper, but this tends to create more work for the
instructor. There are also software and websites which can detect
plagiarism in papers. This writing analysis software has begun to
become popular among colleges and universities.

i agree with you, i know many people who use the internet to plagiarism
assignment and essays. it is way to easy to jsut copy and paste. i think
it is not far to the students who work hard on the project themselves
and get the same mark to the students who cheated. therefore we must
find a way to fight back to these cheaters.

I agree. The Internet makes many things too easy for students as well
as many other people in the business field. However, the Internet
allows students to also find many resources which give valuable
information enabling students to learn. So how can you cut off or
badger information that also has a positive side--learning. Isn't that
what students go to school for? To learn? It is good that professors
are fighting back, since students must work hard to earn good grades,
and is not fair for information to be 'stolen' or used when it is not
your own work.
