Plagiarism


 * Plagiarism is: **
 * Copying
 * Stealing
 * Cheating
 * Dishonest!

**Plagiarized version**: Students who cheat are significant to the public because a school's reputation is damaged when students have good grades but cannot perform basic skills. No one wants a doctor who cheated on his/her medical exams. **The plagiarized version is too much like the original wording, and no citation is given to credit the source.** **Possible Penalties: ** **Tips- ** **Don't: **
 * Example: ** **Original version**: "By undermining institutional standards for assigning grades and awarding degrees, student plagiarism also becomes a matter of significance to the public. When graduates' skills and knowledge fail to match their grades, an institution's reputation is damaged. For example, no one would choose to be treated by a physician who obtained a medical degree by fraud" (MLA 53).
