AF1002 Group 3 Times & Nonsense.
Tuesday, June 1, 2010

Plagiarism is not commonly known to students, whether in the primary, secondary, tertiary or university schools. When students are told to find more information on a certain topic, or to do a certain project, they immediately refer to web pages like “yahoo”, and “Wikipedia”. These pages are user-friendly, and the information provided is more than enough for students. Especially with technology advancement, internet is easily accessible, whether at home, or at the library or any public places such as macdonalds.

As schools stresses to pupils about no copying, we have to admit, some still do so. What schools are looking for when students take a particular information down from a website or from a book, is crediting the authors. Does this help in stressing pupils on “no copying”? By crediting the authors, it will only allow the school / teacher to know where the student get the source from, and to ensure that the student did not copy 100% of the information, it does not help in stressing pupils on plagiarism.

A good example of allowing the students to know the consequences of plagiarism would be the Straits Times article, dated Wed, Apr 28, 2010 – Tokyo University to crack down on Plagiarism in theses. By revoking a doctorate degree it had conferred would greatly affect it’s reputation. However, it has set a very good example of letting students like us, know the serious consequences of plagiarism.
