...Ways of Preventing Students from Submitting Materials Written by Someone Else For Academic Credit While there is no magic bullet to prevent students from using the Internet in this manner, the following are ten tips to curb electronic cheating. Use anti-plagiarism websites. Sites like turnitin may be fast and effective at catching plagiarized writing in student's papers. These services scan uploaded essays for lifted material from across the web. Many teachers require students to submit their own papers to the site before handing in a hard copy, thus eliminating tedious work for the teacher while also discouraging plagiarism since students know their work will be checked. While these websites are quite effective at catching kids who rely on copy-and-paste rather than writing, they will not catch students who hire a writer or buy unpublished content. Rely heavily on in-class material. When assigning a paper, use material from the classroom in the prompt. It is far more difficult for a hired writer to incorporate material from a class they did not attend. Instead of asking for a basic character analysis of the Montague family, ask students to compare each character to a member of the class or the school. It's highly unlikely that a would-be cheater will find material on something so specific, or a writer for hire who is familiar with your class. Makes papers a continuation of discussion. Asking students to continue a discussion from class in their papers serves two purposes...

...“What Is Plagiarism and How Can It Be Prevented” Plagiarism is the act of taking someone else’s writing, thoughts, ideas and etc. to forge as if it’s their own. Even if it is unintentionally, when in some cases it is, taking pieces from text other than your own- without it being quoted or cited- that is a form of plagiarism. Although there is no actual jail sentence for plagiarism, it is indeed kidnapping/stealing someone’s original piece of writing. It is wrong in so many ways. One way being, you wouldn’t want to spend dedicated hours on a paper you put all of your thoughts into only to find out someone has hijacked your paper. At a free of cost, taking all the credit for what was put into the paper. Thankfully, there are ways to prevent plagiarism. Writing an informative piece such as a research paper, where you have to give proof. You can use a line from a passage word for word as long as you have it quoted at the end of your sentence. Letting your reader know that the line you wrote that was quoted was not your original idea is not categorized as plagiarism. It is okay then, when you can back up your evidence. Another way plagiarism can be prevented is if you use more than one source. That way you can’t plagiarize all of them at the same time. You will have enough information from all of the sources to put in your own words. In conclusion, given the information above, plagiarism is not a method you would want to use. It will do no good for you in the long run. The best...

...Avoid Plagiarism in College Writing Anthony B. Smith Jr. COLL 100 American Military University Angela Matthews In today’s culture, it is very difficult to be successful without having a solid foundation of education. Writing in general is and will always be a part of the college process. Some college students love it and mostly others hate it. For the students that find a lack of interest, they seem to discover loopholes or back doors, which in the end, leads to plagiarism. In order to seclude one from negative behavior, there are multiple techniques and concepts that can help students avoid plagiarism in college writing. To show exactly how to avoid plagiarism, one would have to understand what it is. Neville asserts that Plagiarism is intentionally done by students because they either choose not to acknowledge the works of others or they ignore their obligation to do so (2010). This definition can be understood in one basic way which is one not willing to put in the effort and cite references correctly. Plagiarism is taken very seriously, not just in college, but in society as a whole. One must be certain that they are giving credit where credit is due. Even though Neville’s definition mentioned an intentional decision, but plagiarism can also be unintentional also. This happens when sources aren’t cited correctly or quotations are in the wrong places. How may plagiarism appear in college writing? There are three main ways this can be done. Forms of plagiarism are:...

...PLAGERISM IN HIGHER EDUCATION PLAGERISM IN HIGHER EDUCATION ANTHONY J. ORTOLANO LIBERTY UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT The term plagiarism is using the work of that has already been published or unpublished; it can be their ideas or thoughts that they have on a given topic. Without giving them proper recognition for the work that they have done. In turn then presenting this work as your very own /as your original thought. Without letting the reader know that this had been published elsewhere by others. The increase use of technology has made this an increasing issue. Plagiarism is a now a burning issue in education, industry and even in the research community, in need of reexamination. SUMMARY A common mistake is that there is a understanding out there on what actually makes up plagiarism and weather or not in fact it is even dishonesty when it comes to the topic of school work. There seems to be little concern for differentiating degrees of seriousness, so much so such that the intentional copying of text without any acknowledgment is often viewed and treated the same as failing to properly cite sources. Not everyone intends to commit plagiarism; unintentional plagiarism may come about when the author has no intent of cheating. Nevertheless, these cases may be innocent in nature, but they offer no protection against the charge of plagiarism. In the world of academics, plagiarism takes on a whole another moral and ethical dimensions. This may be a matter that seems it effects...
