1.Would you consider purchasing a paper from a website and submitting it as your own? Why or why not? Consider that there is now a website that helps professors check for plagiarism by comparing student papers with millions of online pages using the top 20 search engines. The system even identifies papers composed of bits and pieces of online text. Does knowing this change your answer to the questions above? (Points : 15)

According to Bjoran (2009) she stated that “Avoid customs essay online that can be considered plagiarism and college students tends to seek out essay relief by hunting down free or custom essays online” For my perspective I would never purchase a paper online and submit it to my professor or teacher. The reason why is because for me it is considered cheating and I never wanted to cheat in college. Cheating our way out means giving up which can lead us to failure. After all we can never trust to buy paper online because, we all know that they are millions of articles out there that could be just copy and paste. That’s why try to avoid customs essays online or when using it use an APA format to give the writer a credit. At the moment if a student gets caught they should know the consequences which can lead them to be expelled from school and can never go back. Basically these days if they ever have a website for professor to find out

2. Akin (2011) stated that “It’s a matter of habit and when everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so they’re doing it too,” So, basically students are seeing other student cheat so what the rest of the students do is copy the others, It’s like “monkey sees monkey do”. For my point of view I have lots of idea to stop students for committing plagiarism. Like scare them and let the students know that it’s a must that their papers should have a reference, citations, and sources included. Scare them, which means try to persuade them to not do it. An example of letting the students know that a professor found a

    Both students and academic institutions are to be blamed when it comes to plagiarism just like the article “Thinking Cap: The Seemingly Persistent Rise of Plagiarism” BY Patricia Cohen explained that at times students would plagiarize unintentionally but at the same time we have the students who either don't understand the topic and find it easy to copy some article off a website without giving the correct citations. Not only that but there are students who are lazy and just decided that they just want to copy an article believing that they might not get caught, but we also have the academic institutions to blame at times they don't teach students the proper way to cite when writing or at times if they do see it they don't talk to the students…

    According to Lowe & Dougherty (2014), intentional plagiarism typically stems from fear of failure, poor planning/time management skills, or viewing the course material and the consequences of cheating as unimportant. Unintentional plagiarism is usually caused by a lack of understanding the use of proper citations when attempting to integrate ideas. The best way to avoid plagiarism is to learn the appropriate use of citations and the proper format for references. Understanding the difference between using someone else’s words in a direct quote and paraphrasing is important, as each method requires the information to be cited differently. Aside from learning the appropriate use of citations and references, it is necessary to understand the importance of course materials and the seriousness of the consequences for cheating. Learning proper time management skills will also help students to remain vigilant when citing sources used to support the information being…

    As an Axia student of distance learning, I am aware and familiar with using Axia’s educational resources. One of Axia’s resources is the Center for Writing Excellence (CWE). I believe that one of the most resourceful tools in the CWE is the plagiarism checker. Here, I submit my papers before posting them and they are checked for plagiarism and grammatical errors. I have learned that there are so many ways to actually commit plagiarism. So, knowing that, I use the plagiarism checker until I feel that I am more knowledgeable of all the rules of plagiarism. I also use the grammar guide frequently. I believe that one of biggest faults in writing is in grammatical errors. The CWE also offers sample papers, essay development, and a thesis generator. I haven’t used those often but I plan to with future classes. Another resource is the school online library. This library has three different databases you can use to search for items. They are EBSCOhost, Gale Power Search, and ProQuest. Here I can find articles, journals, papers, etc. related to any search I conduct. The possibilities are endless. It is crucial to learn how to navigate through this online library. Nevertheless, if I ever feel lost, I can always ask the librarian for help. There is also the ability to save…

    The use of quoting is for using the words of the source without it considered plagiarism. Works cited page helps the reader go back and see where exactly you got that info. The use of footnoting helps readers know who the references are of the reading. By following this it will be easier for you to write your essay and will help you avoid getting in trouble for plagiarizing. Many students fall into the trap of plagiarizing because either they have a deadline to meet or they are just too lazy to write the essay. According to the Policy it’s also considered plagiarism if you buy an essay online the reason it’s still plagiarizing is because the words aren’t originally yours, so it is still considered plagiarism. The reason plagiarism is such a big deal is because you are taking someone else’s words or ideas and not giving the original writer credit for what they did. I also believe that professors should be more lenient on the ones who are just now starting out and not be so lenient on the students who have been here for a long time. I do think that the policy does apply to all because some may accidentally plagiarize and some may not do it…

    Paper sharing or copying is not something new, but it has become more widespread due to the easy access of computers and the Internet. Students are able to copy and paste vast amounts of text quickly with just a few clicks of the mouse. Students can also download, as well as purchase, free essays, reports, and term papers from several web sites. The fees can run from about $10 and up per page (Schevitz, 1999). It is estimated that there are at least 400 web sites that currently offer essays, with 20-30 of them being run professionally (Plagiarized.com, 2000). Some sites that teachers need to be aware of are…

    Now that a working knowledge of what plagiarism entails has been established, the reasons for why the act is committed can be explored. Students commit plagiarism intentionally and unintentionally for many reasons. Examples of reasons students intentionally plagiarize include: “searching vs. researching, but their words are better, making the grade, everyone else is doing it, and poor planning.”(“What is plagiarism,” 2012) Students often find the task of completing a research paper too overwhelming and find it easier and more convenient to look for data on the Internet and change it to fit their needs. Students can often fear that the quality of their work…
