Otherwise known as "Fraternity files". these essay banks were practices in which students shared term papers and submitted work that had been done by other students.[2] These essay banks inspired the commercialization of ghostwritten essay-writing practices.

A new focus on activities outside of the classroom took away from...

...Saini Submitted by : Ng Zhia Hwa Matric No. : 15428 Title : A theft of works among the students : Plagiarism. During the antiquity, it exists an ancient concept called plagiarism. Plagiarism is happened when a student fail to properly document and give attribution to the source of ideas and text in his work. Alongside with the commercialization of writing, the concept of copyright and the rights given to authors has developed (VAIL Faculty Administrator, 1996-2003). However, the problem of plagiarism has been increased nowadays and became a highly debatable issue. For instance, Ellery (2008) contends that of the students registered for the module, 39 students, which are 26%, submitted plagiarized essays in their essay assignment. Nevertheless, there are several factors and ways that can cause students to plagiarize. As it is known, students develop particular relationships to text and learning every day. In this case, Pennycook (1996) clarifies the difference between plagiarizing ideas and plagiarizing language. When the student takes the ideas which are clearly not his own but rephrase the language, the student is plagiarizing the ideas but not words. On the other hand, the student who is understand the material and author, will consider that rewrite in own his words may result in less effective, more mistakes, less powerful message and will not achieve such clarity. The incidence of plagiarism among the students is through the use of...
