The Turnitin/ Plagiarism assignment was a good exercise to
inform me more about plagiarism. All throughout my educational journey, I have
been informed and warned about plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you copy someone
else’s work without giving them credit and using it as your own. Most teachers
see this as a black and white issue. There is no happy medium when it comes to
plagiarism. The Turnitin program helps detect plagiarism through submitted
assignments. Turnitin should be implemented in all schools, from elementary to
college. This program would help eliminate a good bit of plagiarism amongst
students. Copyright laws were created to help enforce protection to the creator
of the piece of work.
Plagiarism
has always been a big issue that teachers stress to their students. Teachers
want students to be able to create their own pieces of work based off of
knowledge they already know. Students will not be able to fully grasp the
concept of what they are learning through plagiarism. Teachers have been more
and more adamant about enforcing the consequences that come along with
plagiarism. In college, if a student plagiarizes, it is automatic expulsion. I
believe even high school and possibly middle schools are becoming the same way,
as well.
