Plaigarism
Plagiarism
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own, to use (another's production) without crediting the source, to commit literary theft, to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source (Plagiarism, 2012).
In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward (Plagiarism, 2012).
Plagiarism is such a big concern because it leads to dishonesty. It appropriates the work someone else has done and deceitfully presents it as one's own (ehow, 2012).
Also, academic assignments are designed to help students learn. Plagiarism sabotages that process, and prevents the plagiarist from learning the intended lessons (ehow, 2012).
Plagiarism harms the reputation of the plagiarist, and also any publisher or academic institution that permits it. In such fields as journalism, book publishing, and scholarly publishing, plagiarism can be grounds for severe punishment, including being fired from one's job and being "cast out" of professions. Plagiarism often constitutes copyright infringement, which opens publishers and academic institutions to possible lawsuits (ehow, 2012).
Plagiarism is considered a serious academic offense at Strayer University and a misdeed in the world in general, a student found plagiarizing will face consequences for his or her actions. Depending upon the nature and extent of the offense, potential sanctions are as follows: * A written warning * Mandatory completion of an online plagiarism course and quiz * Grade reduction or failing grade on the assignment involved * Grade reduction or failing grade in the course * Immediate interim suspension, suspension, expulsion, or revocation of a degree ( Strayer University, 2012)
