Plagiarism...

Plagiarism is not a good way to get your school work done. You shouldn't copy others work and take a good grade for it because first of all it's not your work, and second of all, you didn't even cite it or give credit to the person that DID do it. There are many ways that you can plagiarize like, copy somone else's words and taking credit for it or not citing it properly, changing a few words in the copied text, etc. According to http://www.plagiarism.org/resources/facts-and-stats/, "One out of three high school students admitted that they used the Internet to plagiarize an assignment." That's just the high school students that admitted to plagiarizing an assignment. It's not fair that people do really well on assignments because they took the assignment off of another student, online, who also did very well. You're not going to learn anything if you take credit for someone elses work, and don't do it yourself. Many students think that plagiarism is the easy way out of doing the work, and they tend to think that they're not going to get caught, but someone will find out. When a test comes and you didn't ace it because you were plairizing all your assignments the entire semester, then you can ask yourself why you didn't do good...you didn't do any of the work by yourself, so therefore you didn't learn anything.
