Plagiarizing can be applied to many factions such as an artist or songwriter stealing someone else's song or a public speaker stealing someone else's speech. (Shotz, 2008) Regardless of the form plagiarism takes, the definition does not change: Plagiarism is stealing! There are many sources that describe what plagiarism is, but the general consensus is this: “Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work as if it were one’s own, whether that person meant to do it or not. Someone else's work means anything that is not the student’s own idea, even if it is presented in the student’s own style." (Gaines, 2007)<br>Plagiarism is considered a serious crime in the academic world. When it comes to plagiarism, most of us know inherently that it is not ethical to steal someone else’s work. We are taught at home and in school not to do this, yet many students don't know exactly what plagiarism is and how common it has become. There are many reasons as to why a student plagiaries. <br>Some students might be under a great pressure and feel forced by parents or scholarships to get good grades. Instead of pushing themselves to work harder or give credit to the sources he or she uses in use writing the paper, these same students simply just copy. Some students don't have the time to write an "excellent" paper. It is also possible that those same students may believe that their original work might not be good enough. There are some students that don't know what plagiarizing is. On the contrary, there are students that do know plagiarism is wrong, and yet still do it because he or she is too lazy to do the work him or her self. <br> Academic honesty is very important to universities and colleges for many reasons. One reason being a student’s honesty is invested into everything that student does. You know that saying, “Nothing is free”, well consider that with education as well. Education is not free and we need to consider this concept from the beginning. Instructors invest just as much time and effort into students as students invest into the work. Students who plagiarize and steal from another author's work are selling themselves short in the end. Who knows, those students could be our next favorite author? However, since that student plagiarized, he or she is now kicked out of school and the world may miss a great work of literature. <br> “How does the internet play in the role of plagiarism,” you may be wondering? With the vast amount of information on the World Wide Web, each of us, as students, must be very careful to cite the web cite correctly. According to Gaines, the internet has caused plagiarism to reach an all time high in universities and research institutions. (Gaines, 2008 ). <br> Rules of plagiarism on the internet should be spelled o ...

Preview: ... ce is to think twice before taking the easy road out, because if a person gets caught plagiarizing, then all the time and money that was put into the college courses will mean nothing. Once a person plagiarizes, people will then look at them and immediately see them as a cheater. Who in their right mind wants to be known as a cheater? We only have one life time to prove our character, we need to do it right and earn our success the honorable way, without being a cheater and a thief.<br> If a person is not academically honest and is found out by the school staff or by someone else who takes it upon themselves to report them, it could cast doubt on the integrity of not just on that particular paper but all the potential past and future work that person plans to write. Academic honesty in schools is a direct reflection of society's general perception of hard-work, achievement, and moral standards, and therefore, extremely important. Do not plagiarize, cheat or copy. Do not represent someone's work as your own. Report those who breach these golden rules. This would seem like simple common sense, but it is a bigger problem then many people might initially realize. “Widespread concern in the academic literature and the general media indicate that universities face an ongoing problem with student plagiarism in assessments.” (McGowan, & Lightbody, 2008, p. 275). <br> Cheating off another person’s paper is considered plagiarizing, so is using someone else's old paper and putting a different name on it. Another example of plagiarism is using another person’s work and presenting it as someone else’s without proper citations or references. Paying someone else to do the work is also considered cheating and is very dishonest. Every ...

(Chiesl, N. 2007, p 204). ” It is very easy for online students to participate in academic honesty, because it is so easy to copy something off the internet. There is a huge wealth of information at these student’s fingertips and it is not hard to believe that some are enticed by the simplicity and convenience that plagiarizing dangles in front of their faces like a shiny jewel. <br> So why do most students plagiarize and become academically dishonest? “Many studies have documented the reasons why students cheat, including: fear of failure, desire for a better grade, pressure from parents to do well in school, unclear instructional objectives, and being graded on a curve. (Chiesl, N. 2007, p 204).” In other words, the pressures of society on each and every one of us to become successful and wealthy are too much for some, so they choose to take the easy way out. Another reason why so many student ...

In particular, I am aware of the need to properly format and reference each source I rely on in the course of completing assignments, whether I rely heavily or only briefly on said works. I realize the importance of researching each source to provide the proper information as a reference, as well as formatting quotes correctly, and citing work within the text to corroborate my findings and provide an easier reference for the reader. These formatting techniques are critical to properly crediting sources, and are in addition to the use of quotation marks or other identifiers of unoriginal material.<br> There are serious consequences when these guidelines are not followed. When we do not maintain academic honesty it demonstrates we are not deserving trust or being able to be trusted, reliable, truthful, or honest. Academic honesty is an achievement of strong values with the ability to set goals for yourself and the knowledge that you made a fair and honest attempt to achieve those goals. Students are expected to be honest and ethical in their academic work and have a working understanding of what constitutes academic dishonesty. It is important that we familiarize ourselves with the various forms academic honesty comes in so that we will be able to build and maintain our integrity as students (Shropshire, 1997). Academic dishonesty is not worth being dismissed from college. I have come too far and too close to mess this up now, and risk not being able to attend college here or anywhere else. In fact, I know that succeeding in life is very important and the skills and knowledge that I am gaining from the University of Phoenix instructors and staff to succeed after college revolve around letting my mind work independently: by being dishonest I forfeit all of these ski ...
