You are so right TamaBuds! It's really better to be true and to be you rather than living a life pretending to be someone else whom you are not. Just like in the requirements in school that we submit, doesn't it make you feel better and more proud if you get a high score because you submitted your OWN work rather because you submitted a "patch up" work or worst because you submitted the work of others?

raise your own flag..
be honest
avoid plagiarism

YEAH! Say no to copy-pasting!

I agree, but saying no is not enough. We also have to act on this pressing issue

I agree with Aaron. We should have self discipline in order to lessen this kind of issue.

I agree. We need to develop self discipline within ourselves to fully say that we are a successful one.

Copying answers from the net or other sources is unavoidable, but as we "paste" our answers in our documents, we should remember to thank the person who helped us by any means in coming up with the answer through mentioning him/her and acknowledging his/her work.

As budding students, we should not plagiarize since it could damage our reputation and well-off character as well. We should work hard for everything we do, and we should not fully rely on others for our jobs.

very well said, Clarisa! Be proud and confident of what you can do. Don't be afraid to show others what you've got. Be original and don't just copy trends from others.

I have to admit… When I didn’t know any better, I was guilty of plagiarism. I wasn’t just innocent. I was ignorant. I had no idea it was wrong to carelessly copy something off the internet and make it seem like it was my own work. Yet, as time progressed, I slowly understood the technicalities of using references in doing homework and research. I’m a writer, and it’s crucial for me to be very careful about quoting, citing and referring to different source materials. I can lose my credibility and even integrity. So, I see to it I don’t plagiarize most especially when I’m writing in the school paper. I make sure I quote the right people and mention the sources and references of my article... But it doesn't stop there. I will continue this practice even with simple assignments since the consequences of plagiarism don't exempt anyone no matter what his or her situation is. Plagiarism is a crime. It is considered an act of theft in a subtle but not less evil way. It is immoral to steal, may it be a diamond ring or just a sentence from an author's book. I don't want to be a criminal or immoral at the same time, so I wouldn't plagiarize. Perseverance in making an assignment or research may be a Herculean task, but it isn't impossible. So, a Herculean task, I will fulfill so as not be a violator of the moral code.

Moreover, after reading two different PowerPoint presentations, I was a degree wiser. I learned many new things in the field of search engines and researching a topic. I was also delighted to read the PowerPoint “Wading through the Net” because I found out about new ways to make researching a topic easier. It was really helpful to learn about these since I had no idea I could lighten my load by applying this simple applications in search engines and metasearches. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm excited to use these new discoveries in making an assignment in the future.

NOSEBLEED... You are really correct. Plagiarism is not just a bad thing that can be forgiven by a simple sorry: plagiarism is a sin. Thanks for your insights. I learned a lot.

I agree with you, Clarisa. I actually wonder what's so hard about citing one's sources, but whatever it is that keeps us from doing so, let us disregard it from now on. If you are too lazy to include your sources, imagine yourselves in the shoes of whose work you are copying. Will you not work on it?

Hahahah! Thank you, Danielle. I'm glad to be able to impart something to you. I also agree with you. Plagiarism also has consequences.

Yeah. That why this lesson is very helpful. And I'll tell you all a secret.. this morning, when I saw ms.Obre's instructions, I thought, "What? Plagiarism? ano namang konek nun sa subnetting? Why do we even need to read this powerpoint presentation?!" But then, after reading.. I realized that we should learn from our mistakes like Deynali did. We should do what is right. We should also educate other people on this popular crime so that they, too, will stop committing the mistakes we have been doing in the past.

I strongly share the same sentiments with you, Iching! I was thinking of the same thing when I was reading the PowerPoint on wading through the net. I was deeply grateful to find out about all these search engines and metasearches. Now researching through the net would be twice faster than it was before.

I like this! We should use the net as a means in order to start a campaign against plagiarism! As teens, we use the net everyday, and it is just right that we use it for a good cause.

"...make our own unique mark." Very powerful words, Iching. Aside from the quote from Judy Garland, these words also touched me because it speaks encouragement and inspiration into my situation right now.
