Copy & Paste

Did you know for research papers, some college students will copy directly from web sites and paste it into their research document and claim it as their own.  Even when their college professors and instructors forbid it.  That's how easy it is to plagiarize these days!  Talk about lack of ambition and creativity!

  1. As an adjunct instructor at a community college, I have seen students cut and paste over 95% of their papers from the Internet when they have been specifically told NOT to do so. These students do not put quotes around what they have copied and often will not cite the work. My college uses a software program to analyze the percentage and source of submitted work. This helps make correcting the papers a little easier.
