Plagiarism

Almost all good plagiarism checkers will show the plagiarism score in their report. They should also be showing the highlighted text that was matched elsewhere along with the respective source links so that the student has all the important information.

The Bible doesn't specifically mention plagiarism as being a sin or something wrong. However the Bible does speak of liars and stealing being hated by God, so you can then discern that stealing another person's work and then lying and saying it was yours (plagiarising) would be wrong as well.

In the Old Testament the Ten Commandments speak directly to lying, and stealing. Plagiarism is just that taking from someone else and positing it as your own. The ministry of Jesus Christ is replete with parables about living a life that is honorable, full of good and loving your neighbor like you love yourself. None of that is possible when the goal is to take from someone that which is not yours in the first place. They include ideas voiced by another, art work, writings, film and such. As our world decreases with the technological advancement plagiarism is a real threat, it is good to always ask yourself how original is this work, and when in doubt confirm that it has not already been used. If the subject, article or idea has been used, then give credit.

Well, it's genuine in the sense that it exists. It's largely plagiarized from a thinly-veiled criticism of Napoleon III by a French satirist named Maurice Joly, which itself seems to have "borrowed" material from an earlier novel (in which the plotters were Jesuits).

That in itself is pretty much enough to condemn the Protocols as a fabrication, and this has been known since at least 1920.

its software that online uni's can use to see if you have plagiarised your essay or paper. it compares it to other things on the internet. this is a great tool if you have been using quoates as you are only allowed to use up to 10% within an essay.

no it is not

Plagiarism

* Plagiarism * Faking or manipulating results * Inventing sources * Quoting out of context in such a way as to distort

By reading through your source material and digesting it before starting to write your own composition. Also, make sure to cite your scource(s)- if in doubt, cite! Obviously you should be using quotations if you're taking words verbatim from the source documents, but even where you keeping the substance of someone else's material you should give them credit for their initial ideas.

The best way to ensure that you avoid plagiarism is to make sure that you cite and acknowledge all sources that you use. If you are writing about an idea that is not your own, reference it. If you quote someone's words directly you have to make sure it is in quotation marks and that you have added the reference after or before the quote. You avoid plagiarism simply by giving credit to all the sources you have used in your writing. Otherwise, originality is the best way to avoid plagiarism, coming up with your own ideas.

Synthesizing ideas from sources. :)

Inadvertent plagiarism occurs when you accidentally fail to cite or quote the ideas, words, or data of another person.

"Copyright Infringements" are when a person copies, duplicates, or plagiarizes or print, in it's entirety, the written works of another with out expressed or written permission of the owner. They include, but are not limited to: Books or excerpts from books, magazines, newspaper columns. Slogans that are the intellectual property of another Lyrics to songs. (There are a few notable "standards that are not protected under Copy Write Infringement like the "Pledge of Allegiance" or certain religious hymnals and certain children's songs.) The civil and punitive damages against one who is found guilty of copy write infringement are severe. Hence, it is discouraged.Links to sites that are authorized to post lyrics can be found below.

Depending on the grade, either make them totally re-do the assignment, or deny the points for the copied part. Younger students are less likely to understand that what they did was wrong, so you should give them a chance to do the work over for a grade. Older students need to see that plagiarism is wrong and will not earn them any points - I always told mine that I gave the points to the person who wrote that material, but not to the one who copied it! You should be careful to make a difference between the behavior and the student - plagiarism is wrong, but the student isn't a bad person for trying it. It was a mistake, and they should be made to see that they can correct it and learn how to summarize and write things into their own words.

Well, the first step is to decide what career you want to write about. Pick a career that interests you... maybe one that you would like to be someday. Picking a topic that is interesting to you always helps you stay motivated during the research and writing parts of the process. Next, do some research. For instance, if you chose the FBI, then you should go to the FBI website and read about careers that they offer. If you know someone in the FBI, you could ask them to tell you about the job. Find out basic things about any career... what level of schooling or specific degree would you need to get the job, what kinds of things are involved in doing the job, and day-to-day things like what kind of dress code they have, or whether there are special benefits to the job. For some jobs you would also want to find out risk factors... is there a high risk of death for that career? (Underwater welding, for instance, has a very high danger level.) Make sure you write down the website address along with any information you collect, so you can avoid plagiarism. If you got it from a book or a person, write down that information as well. After you have collected your information, then you want to start writing a draft. The best way to do this is to choose some important sub-topics that will help you stay organized. If you chose Undercover agent for the CIA, you could choose sub-topics like "Secrecy," "Risk," and "Training," and then go into each of those topics in detail. For some jobs in the FBI you probably wouldn't have to deal with risk, and with underwater welding, you might not have to deal with secrecy... so you would choose sub-topics more appropriate to those topics. As you put in information that you got from someone else, also add in-text citations to the information that you gathered. It depends on what style your teacher wants, but in High School most teachers use APA or MLA, so you will need parenthenses with the author's name and either the page number of the original source, or the year of publication. Refer to your teacher's guidance on that subject. Once you have lots of stuff for each sub-topic, you will want to go back and check your organization. You'll run spell check, and you'll see if there are any big holes to fill where you might need to do some follow-up research. Make sure you take the instructor's page requirement into account, and do more research if your paper is too short. Adding detail also helps. Go back and get some details from someone who has that job, and add them to your paper. Add in a section about whether you think this is the job for you at the end (if your teacher is okay with that). Drawing a conclusion from your research is great. Once you have enough content, and you've polished it as much as you can, make sure you read it to someone else. Make marks wherever you have to explain something or repeat yourself. Have them read it to see if they notice any mistakes as well... there are always improvements that you can make. Once you are satisfied with the level of quality that you have, then re-check your citations, write up your Works Cited or References page based on what information you included in your paper (don't include entries for informaiton you did not use). Again, you'll probably have to refer to your teacher's instructions for this part. Once you have the paper with appropriate citations and reference page, then you are ready to turn in your paper and hope for the best. ... remember that teachers are individuals, and that no matter how hard you worked, if you don't do it the teacher's way, it might not get a great grade... so if you have any specific questions on how to do something... ask the teacher.

Nobody can tell you what to write - you must write what is in your own heart and mind. Copying what someone else has written leads to dull, boring writing that is not going to help you learn how to write better. It is also known as plagiarism, and if you publish the writing you copy, you can be sued.

When at school, students are being taught to think for themselves and how to work things out themselves so that they are equipped to solve problems in their adult working life. If a student does not do this working out and simply copies answers from other people then they are not learning properly.

As part of education students are tested on what they have learned and their ability to work things out for themselves - these tests tell others how intelligent and competent the students are and form the basis for employment prospects later in life. If a student cheats in this coursework assessment process by plagiarizing material from others (without referencing the source of this material) then the testing process becomes compromised and the results meaningless. This is a problem for teachers, examiners and employers. It is also unfair to the students who have not plagiarized and presented their own work.

There are good tools available to teachers and examiners to detect plagiarism when material is copied from the Internet.

It can only be an opinion on such a matter, and it is my opinion that all intellectual property is very overprotected. I presented an argument for this position in my first book, The One Thing (2000, by Humanics Publishing Group), in which I argued that ideas are merely products of language. If we consider that language is not owned by anyone, but is merely something that is used (by usually very large cultures), then it is difficult to justify any idea that is made of that language as being the exclusive property of the so-called maker. By analogy, it is similar to a child playing with blocks in a kindergarten classroom. Imagine the child somehow arriving at a unique arrangement of blocks, an arrangement that no one had ever noted before. Could this hypothetical child be justified in claiming some sort of copyright for the arrangement? This admittedly sounds a little absurd. But it is nonetheless valid. The first thing we would surely object to is the fact that the child does not own the blocks. They are the property of the school. The same thing, essentially, may be argued if we are talking about the copyright for a book. A book is basically a collection of words, arranged in a particular order, an order that we might also call unique. The author of course wants a copyright as a way of protecting his/her intellectual property, the fact that he/she happened to hit upon this particular arrangement of words. The problem with this is that they do not own the words. Language is bequeathed to us by the culture that we happen to be a part of. There is no such thing as a "personal" language. Language is an aspect of a social dynamic. The culture ultimately owns the unique word arrangement/collection that we call a book, because it was the language of that culture that made said arrangement/collection possible.
