Many teachers do not like “catching plagiarists and bringing them to academic justice.” As she states, it is not hard to just cite the author that originally had the information you are using (Bojar). Plagiarism is becoming a big problem in the school system. Many students do not understand what needs to be cited and what does not. The school system should teach students the proper way to cite, and they should teach them that copy and pasting is not writing a paper. According Bojar to students at the community college have a hard time juggling classes along with his or her family and a job.
Submitting the same written work, in part or in whole, in more than one class without receiving written authorization in advance from both instructors is a violation of academic integrity. Submitting the same assignment for a second class violates the assumption that every assignment advances a student's learning and intellectual growth. It is also expected that work will be completed independently; it is not acceptable to co-author work and submit it as a single-author project. Turnitin.com™ To support the community’s mission to uphold academic integrity, Schreiner University subscribes to Turnitin.com™, an online service designed both to detect plagiarism and to prevent it before it occurs. Your professor may require submission of your papers to Turnitin, or may submit a draft whenever necessary.
“By tying grades to money, we give students incentives not to take risks” (Vogel, 392) that stop them from choosing challenging courses in college. Students find easier courses through word of mouth or websites that previous students rate their professor in. I always ask people who previously took the course I am interested in whether or not I have a chance of passing the course with a C or higher. Students are afraid of putting their grade point average at risk because the grade point average is a component of the application process that helps colleges decide who to accept. .
To be clear, it is not acceptable to copy and paste sentences or a paragraph or more into a student paper, and then include an intext citation to the source at the end of the copied material. The objective of papers for the class is to develop student awareness of the content and to improve student ability to think and present material about fraud cases in a professional way. Use of the student’s own wording and explanations is very beneficial. That is the
For any source other than your text, you must also include the proper reference material including the full URL and date accessed if the source is the Web. Failure to do so is a violation of DeVry Academic Standards, and will mean a zero for your assignment and an investigation of plagiarism by the academic integrity committee. To learn more about avoiding plagiarism in your work, see the "How to Avoid Plagiarism" tutorial in the Syllabus. To support DeVry Online's commitment to academic integrity, your instructor now has the ability to check for plagiarism in student assignments and discussion posts through the use of turnitin.com, a nationally known plagiarism prevention system.

Russell, (2009) stated students lack an understanding of what constitutes good quality scholarly information. Students difficulty evaluating the glut of information available, and to cope they frequently depend on quick but questionable sources, like Dictionary.com, which can result in a blind acceptance of advertising-based information, or sources that depend on a truth by consensus approach such as Wikipedia. (Russell, 2009). Instructors as well as a student need to critically think about whom they are acquiring the research from. Is the knowledge credible and reliable to the student who is utilizing it?
The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice. David Bartholomae, author of Inventing the University, is a professor who writes about the struggles that students face with transitioning into college level writing and learning to write with authority in academic discourse, all while maintaining a unique voice. I agree with Bartholomae’s views on the subject and his arguments are very valid because he speaks from the status and
“The institutions traditionally procure, provide and control the technology for learning but now students are acquiring their own personal technologies for learning and institutions are challenged to keep pace” (Research in Technology Learning, 2010). Computers and other technical devices that are being used to enhance student learning helps to make teaching more creative and effective; however, it has also caused a lot of confusion and chaos in regards to ethics. Once teachers only had to be concerned about the basic rules of classroom etiquette and they could govern their classroom visually. Now teachers have to implement rules and guidelines to ensure that technology in the classroom is being used for its intended purpose to protect students from lurking dangers that might not always be detected by human
Welcome to WritePoint, the automated review system that recognizes errors most commonly made by university students in academic essays. The system embeds comments into your paper and suggests possible changes in grammar and style. Please evaluate each comment carefully to ensure that the suggested change is appropriate for your paper, but remember that your instructor's preferences for style and format prevail.
