Plagiarism and Academic dishonesty

Part 1:

Plagiarism refers to the use of someone else written material without honoring him. Students are often found to plagiarize content in their tasks; discussion posts, essays. However, there are serious penalties of this offense such as referring them to the Office of Student Conduct. If someone is using the following passage without rephrasing or citing, then it is also plagiarism. “Further, faculty members rarely discuss academic integrity expectations or policies with their students. When cheating does occur, faculty members often ignore it or do not penalize students” ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"06Jp5dnw","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Tatum and Schwartz)","plainCitation":"(Tatum and Schwartz)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2753,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/TX2YM6GQ"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/TX2YM6GQ"],"itemData":{"id":2753,"type":"article-journal","title":"Honor codes: evidence based strategies for improving academic integrity","container-title":"Theory into Practice","page":"129-135","volume":"56","issue":"2","author":[{"family":"Tatum","given":"Holly"},{"family":"Schwartz","given":"Beth M."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Tatum and Schwartz). For this passage, the source must be cited. Moreover, if someone is using other work and not properly citing it, then it is also committing plagiarism. To avoid this student must make themselves familiar with different conventions of citation and use them to cite sources appropriately. Besides, with plagiarism, academic dishonesty is equally discouraged in education. Students are not allowed to pay or exchange any gift for completing their assignments. It is an unacceptable mode of conduct and never tolerated in any form. As a punishment of academic dishonesty students is often disciplined; suspended or expelled. To avoid all these adverse situations, they must refrain from such activities and always do their work academic honesty.

Part 2:

Post 1:

I agree that plagiarism is not about using written material only but also spoken, or visual material of another person if used constitute plagiarism. Many times, people are not familiar with this and use the same content without honoring the author. Sometimes, students are also in a hurry and they just use the plagiarized content. Thus, all educational institutions must provide students proper knowledge about plagiarism so students can avoid them. They should use the content and properly cite it. With this, they must also have information about the penalties of academic dishonesty so they must not commit this.

Post 1:

Plagiarism is rightly not limited to the use of content just copy-pasting it but it also extends to the use of someone else's pictures without properly citing the source. Students must have enough time to complete their tasks so that they may not run short of time and go for plagiarized content at the end. They must plan every assignment, gather the relevant content and use the content by acknowledging the author. This will also enhance their information about the topic and polish their research skills. This will also enable them to not become part of academic dishonesty and work hard.
