¶ … avoiding plagiarism, and integrating source material into the body of the paper (Hacker, 106)
Wilson, director of student judicial affairs for the University of California at Davis, noted that some students have threatened lawsuits over this issue. She admits that academic integrity plagues many campuses, and that many officials suspect that cheating goes on in many schools (Kopytoff 2003)
Others have simply paraphrased sentences and paragraphs from the Internet without citing their sources. Even more alarming, more than half the students who admitted to this behavior do not even consider plagiarism as cheating (Rimer 2000)
When teachers turn a blind eye to plagiarism, it undermines that right and denigrates grades…and…institutions" (Ryan). This degree of deception that harms involved in plagiarism that harms others is similar to other aspects of the internet, such as when corporations willingly deceive the public on Wikipedia by editing and publishing incorrect information (Hafner)
The author details this and other facts by presenting a detailed analysis of the various ways that students plagiarize. The ubiquity of social media sites such as Facebook and the type of communication they facilitate for college students can assist in the exchange of information used to plagiarize (Levy)

Most people believe that they have a right to good grades, nice homes, expensive cars, and all of the material conveniences of life. Certain technological applications, such as toys and games for young people, help to foster such a belief (Turkle)
It is difficult to imagine that Ambrose did not understand what he was doing or comprehend the serious nature of his actions. According to an article in The Weekly Standard, Childers was gracious about Ambrose's copy-catting, remarking only that he was "disappointed" (Barnes, 2002)
Ambrose/Plagiarism Purdue University's Online Writing Lab (OWL) is a respected resource for writers. In an introduction to its guidelines on plagiarism, it is noted that "There are few intellectual offenses more serious than plagiarism in academic and professional contexts" (Stolley, Brizee, and Paiz, 2013)
Overt Indirect Substantive Misappropriation: Whereas overt direct substantive misappropriation is the misrepresentation of unoriginal authoritative work as the student's own writing, overt indirect misappropriation involves original text but unoriginal intellectual contribution to the material presented as academic work. Instead of reproducing prior authoritative text verbatim, students engaging in this type of plagiarism rewrite portions of prior authoritative work, sometimes entirely in their own words, but do not give appropriate credit to the original source (Boon, 2003; Girard, 2009)
The growth of the Internet has greatly increased the efficiency and speed of deliberate plagiarism by allowing students to search through thousands of published sources online without ever having to go the library. The greatly expanded range of possible sources available to contemporary students also significantly reduces the relative risk that a teacher or professor will recognize the plagiarized material on reading it (Innerst, 1998; MJS, 2004)
Academic Honesty -- Plagiarism Defining Plagiarism In general, plagiarism refers to the presentation of the intellectual ideas, opinions, or analyses of others as the author's own ideas (Harvey, 2003)
Finally, simple over-reliance on source material would be where the student properly references all material but does not actually include any original analyses in the work at all (iParadigm, 2003). Citing, Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Expressing Another's Ideas In principle, any thought or idea that is not the writer's own intellectual analysis must be properly referenced (Harvey, 2003; iParadigm, 2010) unless it is common knowledge (Thompson, 2008)
However, the author presents a number of definitions commonly used to define the same. Plagiarism according to the Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary has got to do with taking as well as using "another person's thoughts, writings, inventions as one's own" (Sutherland-Smith 2008)
Some sites require that a student submit a paper in exchange for one received. More than half the sites offer to write custom papers at a per page cost, usually at least $100 or more per paper (Lathrop and Foss 18)

One of the books used in the course should be a book by Ron Theodore Robin (2004), Scandals and Scoundrels: Seven Cases that Shook the Academy, which describes the very public academic downfall and public humiliation of students for the crime of plagiarism. It is interesting, as Robin notes, that the same source of the plagiarism, the internet, was the same means by which the students' public humiliation was quickly communicated to the public (Robin 7)
Also, as Lathrop and Foss pointed out, lawsuits have thus far been unsuccessful, and the sites carry clever disclaimers and terms of agreement that specifically advise clients not to plagiarize their papers. In 1998, a federal judge threw out a suit brought against five term paper mills by Boston University (USA Today 2009)
In any event, they were just "working together," not cheating. Meanwhile, author Julianne East presents plagiarism as a moral issue and makes the case that those who are "making judgments about plagiarism" should take time to reflect on this issue: are their actions a violation of social values and morality, or are they just part of the convention? (East, 2010, p
Sikes is talking about the many companies that will write essays for students for a price. There has been a "shift in moral and other values resulting in different perceptions of what is acceptable" (Sikes, 2009, p
