Plagiarism

This week I learn about plagiarism. It’s a great fault. It is done by the students all over the world. According to the guide book at Swinburne University “plagiarism is stealing intellectual material”

There are many types of plagiarism. Some students use to steal other students’ work which (may have presented earlier) represented as his own works.  If you need to write an individual assignment, you can have a discussion about the assignment. More ideas such as relevant materials and data collecting strategies can be understood by such discussion.   

Plagiarism type two is connected with group work. Some students do not contribute enough to the whole work. But they got equal marks as other students who contribute a lot. This type of plagiarism is happen very often.  Two avoid this fault, all the group members must be given section of the group assignment and complete their section by using correct method and reference.

Plagiarism type three is done by using other peoples’ published work from the internet, books or data base, they just copy whole thing without mentioning where the material came from. To create and assignment we need to get the ideas from the other sources, but we must mention the author and the page. The ideas in this guide on plagiarism are very valuable.
