Students and Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a huge problem with students these days. Most of the time the student doesn't actually know that they are plagiarizing though. Students require to learn how to properly document their sources within their papers or presentations in order for them to be safe from plagiarism. Often times a student will take bits of pieces of websites and not cite the work because they think that they only took a small amount of information and that they don't need to cite the work. If the professor or teacher has any doubt on whether or not the student didn't do a part of their paper on their own, will go into Google and just search for the line that is bothering them. This will then take the professor to the website that the student used word for word. I'm not saying that all students are truthful, there are some students that go and copy and paste a whole entire essay just because they were too lazy to do the work their-selves. At many Universities, the college will dis enroll you from the college sometimes just from plagiarizing. Plagiarism is a serious offense, and all students should remember to modify whatever they are using as a source.
