As defined by the Webster Dictionary it means to use another’s production without crediting the source.

Students know plagiarism is ethically wrong. We’ve been told since grade school that cheating is bad and copying people is bad, and the constant reminders of severe punishment if we do it should be enough to keep anyone from plagiarizing, yet we as students continue to risk grades, integrity, and statuses to plagiarize.

Integrity is doing the right things even when nobody is looking even if the wrong thing is easier. Academic integrity can be defined as doing your own work and not submitting others as your own. Over the past 12 years, out of 71,300 undergraduates, 68% either have admitted to cheating on a test or a writing assignment. That means 48,484 students did not show what

The point is to dwell on the way it appeared and why it appeared that particular way” (Mckay, 1999) , Mckay here refers to Morrison’s words that one needs to keep in touch with the ancestor and for Sethe, her ancestor is Beloved and without Beloved which is her ancestor the she is
the point if people are cheating? Education is required to get a job that’s why students are in school, where it helps students with their potential career. Technology has been a major impact in today’s cheating, as it’s been easier than ever to cheat. Students can easily just text each other instead of passing notes around the class. A survey reported that 64% of students admitted to cheating on a test, 58% on plagiarism, and 95% participated in cheating according to Donald McCabe. Students take
