Plagio (inglés)

PLAGIARISM

1. Plagiarism at school

Plagiarism is when you use someone else's words or ideas and pass them off as your own.

Plagiarism is a form of cheating.

PLAGIARISM STEALS IDEAS

This word comes from a latin word for kidnapping, that's a stealing a person. Well, plagiarism is stealing a person's ideas or writing. Someone's words and thoughts are personal property, like someone's lunch money, bike or personal things.

What shoud students have done, if they have taken information from internet? The should have written down the name of the wbsite and the name os the person who wrote these information. Then they could have added it and given credit to the source.

In the school, there are different rules about making a list of sources. Sometimes, you have to provide a list at the end of the work. Other times, a teacher might want you to list the source after the information you took from that source, or maybe you just make it part of the sentence (for example: Accordint to the Institute of Arts, or something similar)

It's good that we take information from experts that published their ideas on internet, not always we know about them, but you have to make sure to show where the information came from. If we do that, we're clear.

PLAGIARISM IS LAZY

It can be accidental, but if it's sometimes done on purpose and thats just being lazy. Copying hole paragraphs from different places, a student doesnt have to "wasting" time thinking about the subject, thinking about their own ideas thoughts and ideas abut it, and then putting it into original words.

Copy, or cut, paste, and it's all done.

What happens if I plagiarize?

Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism. If you are caught, you can be suspended or worse, or you can going to fail the assignment.

Cheating

What Exactly Is Cheating?

Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose. For kids, cheating may happen at school, at home, or while playing a sport. If a baseball team is for kids who are 8 or younger, it's cheating for a 9-year-old to play on the team and hit home run after home run.

At school, in addition to cheating on a test, a kid might cheat by stealing someone else's idea for a science project or by copying a book report off the Internet and turning it in as if it's his or her original work. Copying someone else's words or work and saying they're yours is a type of cheating called plagiarism (say: PLAY-juh-rih-zem).
