Online Researching and Plagiarism... LS403

vitto.krisha wrote:Would you steal a bag? Would you rob a bank? Would you steal just for an assignment? Well, to tell everyone honestly, I am guilty of plagiarism. I do it whenever there is a research work needed in school. The top site where I steal ideas is Wikipedia. Well, it's the site that pops out into my mind whenever assignment is needed. I'll admit it; I hate it when references are asked. I always forget to put my references so I need to search the sites again so it's very tiresome. But still, it's a crime. Well, I guess, it's another lessoned learned for all of us.

After reading the said files, plagiarism is a sin. You steal someone's work without their knowledge or permission. Sometimes, I copy and paste ideas from any websites without giving credit to the owner of the work. That makes me guilty of plagiarism.

Thanks to the powerpoint because I got several ideas on how to avoid plagiarism. Whenever I get ideas from websites, I have to cite the source. Whenever I use the words of the others, I have to quote them and include their name. These are just simple ways, but a big factor to avoid plagiarism.

O my gosh! ) Don't worry Czar, not only you committed the same CRIME. We are all, I think guilty of plagiarism. So now is the time to say no to plagiarism for it is against the natural law. :>

hahaha! I agree to both of you, Pintet and Czar. We are all guilty of Plagiarism...But now, I think that we have learned our lesson: ASKING PERMISSION and GIVING CREDITS are ESSENTIAL for us not to be sued because of this crime. :> Now, we know what to do the next time!

It is good to know that some students nowadays can stand up and make an advocacy site like this. This organization can guide the youth on how to use the Internet wisely. Not only it will teach students on how to research properly, but it also teaches the youth on how to be independent in making their own assignments and projects. Because, knowing and seeing pupils being busy, they will have the tendency to just “copy and paste” their work. But now, sites like this (see the link above) would orient us on how Plagiarism works.

PLAGIARISM is the copying of one's work without giving credit to the one who owns it. It is a kind of "stealing" which violates the law, specially, the Commandments of God. I can say that this is such an immoral act for no one has the right to steal other's work without any permission from him/her.

I realized that I am also guilty of plagiarism for when our teacher gives us an assignment, etc., I (sometimes) consult the internet for the answer. I "cut-and-paste" all the information I saw, and print it without even mentioning the site or name of who made it.

Now I know the different ways on how to avoid and not to commit plagiarism. One is to ask permission first to the one whom you'll copy his/her work. Second is to always give credit/acknowledgement to the one who made it. Third is to write the references from where you received the information/s. And lastly, the most effective way on how to avoid and not to commit this such act is to USE YOUR OWN WORDS AND IDEAS. That's the best thing YOU CAN and YOU MUST do.

And we all know that stealing is a mortal sin as stated in the seventh commandment: "Thou shall not steal" I, as a student, plagiarized many times already especially when our teacher's assignments is research. I am very much guilty of what I've done And now, after I've read the powerpoint, I'm already aware that plagiarism is a sin. I promise not to do it again I also learned the different ways of preventing plagiarism like putting the link of your source website and quote the sentence/words that you copied. I will tell my fellow students about plagiarism so that they would also not commit the same as what I've commited So, stop plagiarising, it's a mortal sin.

From this point of view, we forgot complementing the real owner of the ideas from where we get our informations and answers. Now that I have a knowledge about PLAGIARISM, I am ashamed of this indecent work. I must admit and realized that I am one of the students that do not aware of what is plagiarism and now that I am aware of it, I will try my best not to commit this indecent work which can lead to a crime...

Greet Idea pau of posting a site where we can find an orientation about plagiarism . We should learned how to make our own work and don't just rely in the internet. Plagiarism is like cheating, Cheating always occur in classrooms the lesson that we should learn is that we should stand on ourself and don't just rely on other's work so that you can produce you own work ).

Aquino. Jestin wrote:Doing a simple copy/ cut paste work is a crime that every student is guilty of. According to the 7th commandment of our Lord, " Thou shall not steal.", therefore we must not do it. Plagiarism is stealing because with dont give credit to the person who made it. It is like borrowing something and telling other people that that thing is yours. We must let everyone who is the proper person to be credited when we do such thing. Also, plagiarism is wrong. There is no such thing that can be better than an original work, so why duplicate it? We can always make an original work, we have our own minds, we have our own thoughts.

lat.angela wrote:One of the misconceptions of people about research is that it is a copy-paste work only. They tend to gather all informations that they would see in the internet without even modifying it or even acknowledging the one who originally made it. From these instances, plagiarism might occur. Plagiarism is defined as the means of COPYING another's work without giving them credit. Nowadays, plagiarism is indeed very rampant especially with the students like me. Most of the time, plagiarism is caused by our own LAZINESS. But as I knew something more about plagiarism, I realized that it is also a MORTAL SIN as stated in God's Ten Commandments; Thou shall not steal. I realized that plagiarism is also a way of stealing one's ideas. And as a student, I can prevent this by helping my classmates to be aware that plagiarism is not good and that they will not have any benefits from doing it. I will also give credits and acknowledgement to the work of others whenever I make my own researches.

First, I must work hard to at least express my thoughts and ideas and not just rely on somebody's work because it's an act of stealing. And as we all know, stealing is a crime. It's against the commandment of God.

Second, if I really need some ideas and research found only in the internet, I should recognize the ones being responsible for that matter for they're the ones who worked hard for it.

That's right yen we should not always rely in the internet. It is good that ma'am malu taught us what is the right definition of research. The information in the internet will just serve as a guide for you. The content of you research paper must be your own thought

I also share the same feeling with you, Krisha. I just copy and paste some researches because it's much easier to do than rephrasing it and giving credit to others. Internet could offer most of our daily research needs, so I guess giving credits for others work is a way of saying, "Thank you for sharing your ideas." I guess it wouldn't hurt to say Thank you to those who helped in making your homework.

I agree with both of you It will help the students to be more industrious in finding ways to make their own assignments ORIGINALLY Because after they have read this link they would learn many things about plagiarism and they would be able to avoid it Also, for me, this is a practice or training for us students especially the graduating students in becoming college students because as we all know, college is very much different in our highschool life. We should be independent and hardworking, and in this link we would learn how to be one and this will give us many benefits not just only for our college life but also to our future "copy and paste" is a BIG NO NO!, "think and make new ideas" is a BIG YES YES! Thanks for this link, Pau. It is very much a BIG HELP

I agree. Moreover, if you do a project that you worked hard for, it feels so different. Unlike when you just copied or steal some literary article.

I agree, Ange I will also TRY MY VERY BEST not to commit such indecent work. It is also sad to see and hear that the students nowadays are now just relying on the power of internet. Neglecting books and encyclopedias, pupils just wanted to comply with their requirements. They not need to know or learn the lesson proper, for as long as they have an assignment to show.

I agree with the both of you. I myself is also guilty of plagiarism especially in doing our research homeworks. Sometimes, or should I say, most of the time, I only do a copy-paste because of my own laziness. But as I learned and realized that plagiarism is also a form of stealing/ cheating, I realized that I should stop doing such thing, but instead modfiy or even formulate my own ideas.

bunyi.eimeren wrote:Plagiarism means copying another's work or copying someone else's ideas without giving him/her credits. It is an act of stealing and it is very rampant nowadays as the internet is being well known. Plagiarism is a terrible crime. Just imagine if you made some ideas, putting your one hundred percent effort, and then after some time, it is already all throughout the world, and other people are stealing it for their own benefits without even recognizing the one who made it. Try to imagine that situation.

I learned a lot from the powerpoint presentation we have read. It makes me realize certain things that I shouldn't do especially as a student who always need some researches as school requirement. It feels good to have your own idea, not copied ones. Plagiarism must stop. We can make simple ways to help lessen this issue but the change must begin first with ourselves.
