History
He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine, as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That an idea should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and the improvement of his condition, seems to have been pecularily and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible all over space, without lessening their density… (Koch & Peden, 1944, p. 577).

Yes, frankly I plagiarized so many time in my former school …Sometimes, I plagiarized by cut and pasted the paper … and sometimes I listed the internet sources or magazines to my research paper …. Moreover, I just turned in somebody's paper to the professor by changing original name to my name….I knew that was not good but I did not realize that it was against academic rule and it was a plagiarism. … I also did not get an education about plagiarism. That is why I did it. And, sometimes when I did not have any idea about the paper or assignment and I did not have an enough time to finish of it, I plagiarized

Turnitin.com Turnitin.com is a web site that OSU has paid for, so
teachers can check student papers for plagiarism. Your teacher tells you must submit your paper to Turnitin.com to have it checked for plagiarism. He tells you that if you do not submit your paper, you will automatically fail the course. What do you think about this?
It is fair since it would catch any student who unfairly cheats. (135)
It is not fair since I own my papers, so the teacher has no right to tell me to submit it to a company that makes money from the program. (68)
It is not fair but I have to do it so I can take this course. (34)

hand in the paper to another course on a similar topic. You copy a couple of paragraphs and paste into your new paper. Your professor accuses you of plagiarism. Do you agree with this decision?
– No, when I write a paper, it belongs to me, and I can do whatever I want with it. (68)
– Yes, plagiarizing yourself is the same as plagiarizing someone else, so the punishment is justified. (81)
– No, you can’t plagiarize yourself, so he shouldn’t have been accused, but it may be a violation of the rules of academic misconduct. (89)

In your course, you are asked to write a research paper. You are new in the field, and much of what you know is from textbooks. This information is called common knowledge. How should you handle this kind of information in your paper?

Punishment?A student was accused of copying a
paragraph from his textbook and including it in a much longer paper. He was sent to the Office of Academic Misconduct. What do you think should be the appropriate penalty?– Since, the student copied without citing, he
should be treated like any other plagiarist. (107)– Since it was only a small amount, he should
only be warned but not given a harsh penalty. (95)
– Since what is in textbooks is usually common knowledge, the student did not commit plagiarism. (36)
