January 13

What do you know about plagiarism? What do you know about plagiarism on the internet? Do web design, the internet and plagiarism all effect each other? Explain.

Plagiarism is using someone else's work or information from a book or website, without permission or correct citation. Plagiarism is very common on the internet because there are many websites you can use to access other people's work and use it as your own and/or download it. Plagiarism can also be identified as turning in past assignments for newer ones, such as a high school assignment being turned in as a college assignment a couple of years later. However, there are websites, such as turnitin.com which search uploaded documents with other documents on the web site and link them together, giving the author and the professor/teacher a clear percentage of how much of the paper was similar to other works. Yes, web design, the internet and plagiarism do all affect each other. The internet has made plagiarism very easy to do, with websites specifically for using other people's works.
