...By definition, plagiarism is the act of presenting the words, ideas, images, sounds, or other creative expression of others as your own. If you have included the words and ideas of others in your work that you neglected to cite, or you have had help you wouldn’t want your teacher to know about, you have plagiarized. There are two types of plagiarism, intentional and unintentional plagiarism. Intentional Copying a friend’s work Buying or borrowing papers Cutting and pasting blocks of text from electronic sources without documenting Media “borrowing” Uninformed Web publishing Unintentional Careless paraphrasing Poor documentation Quoting excessively Failure to use your own “voice” Collaboration is when you work with one or more people on a task assigned in class. It is plagiarism if all members of the group have the exact same answers. If you do not credit your group members on your assignment, then your paper is considered plagiarized. You can answer the questions together, but understand that not everyone writes or words things the same, so add your own personal flare to the work!

...honesty.Academic dishonesty or academic misconduct is any type of cheating that occurs in relation to a formal academic exercise,which includes plagiarism,fabrication,deception,cheating, bribery, sabotage, frofessorial misconduct, personation,etc.[1] At the present time,academic honesty should be attached to great importance for the fundamental reason that it is such a rare quality among the academic world,especially in colleges.For instance,in almost every college nowadays,students accomplish their essays or homework by simply copying and pasting the entire passage they found from baidu or google,and for students who are looking forward to a higher grade,they tend to read a few dozens of essay focused on the particular topic and then they make their own one by picking some useful parts from different eaasys,add a few original ideas and piece them together.Whenever you step into a test room,there is a possibility finding some test takers cheating.Even among professors in colleges,it is not uncommon to find that their dissertation appears to have changed the original data or the experiment results to meet their own points. According to a recent survey,in college only 7.8% of the students could complete their homework indenpendently,75% of the respondents admitted that they copied essay from the Internet,whilst when the experiment results were...

...convey information clearly and concisely, if not to convert the reader to your way of thinking. Transitions help you to achieve these goals by establishing logical connections between sentences, paragraphs, and sections of your papers. In other words, transitions tell readers what to do with the information you present them. Whether single words, quick phrases or full sentences, they function as signs for readers that tell them how to think about, organize, and react to old and new ideas as they read through what you have written. Transitions provide the reader with directions for how to piece together your ideas into a logically coherent argument. Transitions are not just embellishments to make your paper sound or read better. They are words with particular meanings that tell the reader to think and react in a particular way to your ideas. In providing the reader with these important cues, transitions help readers understand the logic of how your ideas fit together. Signs that you might need to work on your transitions How can you tell whether you need to work on your transitions? Here are some possible clues: Your instructor has written comments like "choppy," "jumpy," "abrupt," "flow," "need signposts," or "how is this related?" on your papers. Your readers (instructors, friends, or classmates) tell you that they had trouble following your...

As it stands, education in America has come a long way. There was a point in time where only the rich and white males were allowed to go to school.

The resources that can be used in education to teach and discover are endless. The Internet has improved in quality, accessibility, and speed within the last 20 years that is possible to access more information that has ever been accessed before and on one device.

...The Three Strikes Policy As various studies report, cheating in college, even at its highest levels, is increasingly becoming a greater issue by the years. Donald L. McCabe, a management professor at Rutgers University, conducted a research which showed that in 1964, fifty-eight percent of engineering students admitted to cheating at least once. By 1996, that percentage rose to eighty-two percent [3]. McCabe at the time was quoted as saying “Students now look at cheating differently”. “Students are no longer embarrassed by it”. Aside from this common attitude among students, many professors also list the enhancements of technology such as text messaging and the internet as major contributing factors to aid students in cheating. In September, 2004, The Washington Post released an article about academic dishonesty. They acknowledged there is a problem with students cheating in college and that technology has worsened what was already an area of growing concern. However, rather than focus their energy on stiff punishment and court trials they present prevention over consequences as the way to fight the cheating. “Our first and most important line of defense against academic dishonesty is simply good teaching. Cheating and plagiarism often arise in a vacuum created by routine, lack of interest and overwork” [2]. “The second remedy is to encourage the development of integrity in our students. A sense of responsibility about one's intellectual development would preclude cheating...

Introduction With the increasing impact of greenhouse gas emissions as well as people’s awareness of protecting the living environment, our group decides to launch a campaign aiming at mobilizing people to reduce the emission of their carbon footprint on their own efforts. The core message of our campaign is to arouse the college students in Loughborough to strive their own effort to minimize the output of greenhouse gas in their daily life mainly through battery recycle, furthermore, to help spread the environmental consciousness to more citizens. The paper illustrates the core strategy of our advertising campaign, including our communication objectives, target audience, the budget, and media types to conduct the advertisement as well as the evaluation of the campaign. We are confident that via a dedicated implementation and control of the communication process, this advertising campaign will be a success not only in motivating people to reduce the carbon dioxide, but also in collecting people’s concentrated efforts to protect the environment we live by. 2. Background The emission of greenhouse gases could be the most severe environmental issue to deal with. Since the advent of human-caused release of carbon dioxide tended to increase the concentration of...

...XBRL: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES Erlane K Ghani and Kamaruzzaman Muhammad Throughout the world, a number of key regulators are advocating the need of Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) and trumpeting this tool to be digitalising the financial information value chain thus bringing huge benefits to all relevant parties. Many companies in the world have started to prepare XBRL-based financial reports and the momentum of such practice is growing rapidly (Kernan, 2008). Similar to other countries, Malaysian regulators have also seen the need of adopting XBRL for all companies as a necessity to improve financial reporting. XBRL is seen to assist relevant parties in achieving the objectives of accounting framework in terms of relevance, consistency, timeliness and accuracy. The parties involves in the preparation and the usage of financial information such as the regulators, preparers, users as well as the auditors would have greater access to the financial information via XBRL since XBRL use the Internet as the medium of communication and transmission of information. Due to the greater hyped of XBRL, the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) have set to fully implement XBRL upon completion of a five-year XBRL initiatives initiated by Malaysia’s Registrar of Companies developed under its Strategic Direction Plan II. SSM plans to implement XBRL-based financial reporting in phases starting with listed companies, their subsidiaries and non listed companies followed by private...

Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others. Cheating implies the breaking of rules. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more for less, often used when referring to marital infidelity.3 Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose.17 Cheating fundamentally includes several elements of both lying and stealing, with specific motivations to gain something of value by illegitimate means. That is why lying and stealing are discussed before cheating. Cheating is lying and/or stealing with the intention for acquiring something for more than merely the "pleasure" of fooling or depriving others.

...Psychoanalysis of Hamlet’s Subconscious Psychoanalytic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet In the first half of the 20th century, when psychoanalysis was at the height of its influence, its concepts were applied to Hamlet, notably by Sigmund Freud, Ernest Jones, and Jacques Lacan, and these studies influenced theatrical productions. Freud suggested that an unconscious oedipal conflict caused Hamlet's hesitations. (Artist: Eugène Delacroix 1844). In his The Interpretation of Dreams (1900), Freud's analysis starts from the premise that "the play is built up on Hamlet's hesitations over fulfilling the task of revenge that is assigned to him; but its text offers no reasons or motives for these hesitations".[83] After reviewing various literary theories, Freud concludes that Hamlet has an "Oedipal desire for his mother and the subsequent guilt [is] preventing him from murdering the man [Claudius] who has done what he unconsciously wanted to do".[84] Confronted with his repressed desires, Hamlet realises that "he himself is literally no better than the sinner whom he is to punish".[83] Freud suggests that Hamlet's apparent "distaste for sexuality"—articulated in his "nunnery" conversation with Ophelia—accords with this interpretation.[85][86] John Barrymore's long-running 1922 performance in New York was characterized as "revolutionary in its use of Freudian psychology; in keeping with the post World War I rebellion against everything...
