Plagiarism\ Copyright
Students can access papers, projects, presentations and answers to homework on the internet and pass it off as their own
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. In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both
stealing someone else's work and lying about it afterward. ^http://www.plagiarism.org/plag_article_what_is_plagiarism.html
