Views on Plagiarism

Plagiarism is going to be a serious problem if its not addressed . When a work is plagiarised , the credit is taken away from the author while the person who plagiarises is given credit for a piece of work not done by himself .

Plagiarising is most often commited by students as they want to complete their assignments with the least effort and in the least time . They would look up the net for info and copy entirely . This is very unfair to the author as they wreck their brains and their work gets copied by others without putting in any effort .

To stop plagiarising , we have let the students know the importance and consequences of plagiarising from a young age . When kids are younger , they tend to listen to what they are told . By informing them about the importance and consequences of plagiarising , they would understand why they should not plagiarise and come out with their own work . Plagiarising may result in drop of grades , suspension or even expulsion . These consequences may deter the students from plagiarising the works of others and come up with their own work with their own effort .
