Answer 2

Plagiarism is the act of copying word for word or parts of work that was created by someone else and thus has become copyrighted. Plagiarism is most prevalent within an educational environment for instance, in essays, speeches etc. The correct method of citing someone else's work must include quotations to define the work being used (quoted) and footnotes/Bibliography which credits the source. The credit must include the title of the source (i.e. title of the book, paper, magazine etc), date of publication, author name etc.

Poor time management/poor planning are directly responsible for the act of plagiarism taking place in that the failure to allow sufficient time to prepare, evaluate, investigate, research and subsequently write any work that requires the use of information from a source other than yourself, is literally "thrown" together, not thought out correctly.

Rather than taking or having the time to place into your own words, information gathered, a person chooses to simply copy word for word, paragraph for paragraph an article, sentence, paragraph previously written and thus owned, by someone else. Thus plagiarism.

Plagiarism is unlawful and can meet with severe consequences however in an educational aspect, plagiarism can lead to the failure of a complete course and/or project simply because the person lacked time management and effort to utilize found information correctly and acceptably.

Putting your name on a report that was "written" by others, regardless of whether you have used one or several sources, is of course Plagiarism and is unacceptable.

Plagerism

Passing off someone's work as your own is known as plagerism
Plagiarize material deliberately is an illegal act. More common is the failure of an individual to cite the sources of their information. It's ok to use pictures and paraphrase text but be sure to cite the source of your information. Even when permission to use the material is granted, the author or source should be cited. Failure to do so is unethical at best and could be illegal under the author's fair use terms.

Many plagerise when they are under time constraints because they have not used their own time properly.

Answer 4

Plagiarism is when you copy someone else's work and pretend that it is your own. For example, if you have to write and essay about WWII and you look for an essay on the internet and you print the essay and put your name as the author. If you start writing papers early then you will have more time to gather more information and do it on your own. However, if you wait until the last minute you will be more tempted to copy.

Answer 5

Copying someone's work and claiming it as your own... no doubt what you'll be doing with one or more of the answers given here.

If you don't leave yourself enough time to understand what is being said and re-write it in your own words you end up copying.

Many students come unstuck by copying great chunks of essays straight out of books or off the internet not realising that there are now a number of ways for teachers and examiners to check whether it is original. This has led in turn to students paying essay writers to write essays, projects for them - great idea except that many of these services simply plagiarise stuff off the net anyway.

Answer 6

plagiarism is copying something written by someone else and then saying that you wrote it yourself. it usually refers to published works. poor time management leads to inadequate planning because the time you are given to complete the project (i.e. term paper), is wasted, leading to inadequate planning, which leaves you rushin around tryin to find what someone else had written, and you hope that no one else knows that what you have now plagarized
was written by someone else.
