In my personal opinion, an article explaining about someone's opinion about something shouldn't be patented as if the opinion couldn't be followed by someone else without writing the source. Because if someone is following your opinion about something, that doesn't mean that they are plagiarising. If things like this are implemented in real life there would be any person that can be called doing plagiarising even tho it's an opinion that they speak out from their mind, because eventually there will be a person that will have the same opinion and a way of thinking just like you.
I couldn't help but feel second-hand embarrassment concerning the American Civil War essay situation; what were the chances that the author of the book was your supervisor?! Though we must cite the resources that we use in our writing, this aspect does contribute a lot to the severity of the plagiarism that occurred. As students, I'd have to admit that if someone requests to copy our work, we'd frequently allow them to do so. Hence, your Sociology essay story is a reminder as to why plagiarism is highly discouraged. Lastly, not-citing the sources of the articles is the epitome of plagiarism.

People tend to have a hard time telling the difference between using a reference and plagiarizing. Plagiarism is the act of copying other’s work without crediting the original source material, like the American war essay and the case of the article. What many people overlook is by simply crediting the original source, your essay won’t be claimed as plagiarism, but rather a reference. Lending out a personal essay is not qualified as plagiarism, but it does support it, as the process expects someone to use other’s work and credit it as their own.

My Version: “What many people overlook is that, by simply crediting the original source, your essay won’t be claimed to be plagiarized, but rather as referenced.”
Plagiarizing by definition is taking somebody else’s work or idea and passing it off as your own. In my school we’ve always made a big deal out of plagiarizing as doing so would be an indicator of academic dishonesty. In result, we’d constantly be taught about the importance of utilizing our sources and how to make proper citations. Plagiarism is a very serious matter as it is unethical in so many ways. You use somebody else’s work or idea and claim it as your own without giving credit or full acknowledgement to whom it rightfully belongs to, is not only considered plagiarizing but it can even be considered theft or fraud.
In the first case, I think the problem is you did not give a citation and for your writing, and if you do that kind of thing in UGM it will grant you an F in that subject. In the second case, lending your essay to anyone without considering the possibilities is not wise. It can be considered as you helping them copying the work of someone without a proper rephrase and it can fail that subject. the last one, I think everything you wrote on the blog has been quoted and credited properly, so there will be no problem.
Many of us have been introduced or briefly explained what plagiarism is, but many have not fully realized what it is and how easy it is to do.
Adrian had shared some of his experiences with plagiarism. I think it is common for students to do what he did, be it deliberately or accidentally. Sometimes we may forget to cite the resources, misquote them, or even paraphrase a source by using similar words without attribution. We tend to overlook these activities as they have become the norm for us. Hence, we must learn how to cite our resources and be careful when we are doing our research.

My Version: “Many of us have been introduced to plagiarism or it has been briefly explained to us. However, many do not fully realize what it is and how easy it is to do.”
Honestly, the three cases of plagiarism you give were all horrible things. But if I have to rank them from the worst, probably the American Civil War, the sociology essay, and then FEB daily blog post. Why? For the first one, because you straight up copy-paste the word and didn't cite them, which was considered the worst sin for college students. For the sociology essay, because you didn't plagiarize any of it, I ranked it number two. The last one, because it is for educational purposes and only seen by students of FEB UGM, it is not a significant problem.
Your Version: “For the first one, because you straight up copy-paste the word and didn't cite them, which was considered the worst sin for college students.”
My Version: “For the first one, you simply copy-pasted the words and didn't cite the source, and this is considered the worst kind of transgression for college students.”
I believe that the case of the civil war essay plagiarism is the 2nd most serious case out of the three. The writer herself said if she was credited she would be happy with the essay. The worst case of plagiarism is the sociology essay, 8 people copied the entire essay without changing anything. The sheer number alone shows how serious this case of plagiarism is. Placing an article in your blog is the least serious case of plagiarism, the blogger didn’t credit the article as her own they just didn’t share the origin of the article.
So, for the essay about the American Civil War, I think that we must include the sources of every information that we write. It is a really simple thing but it is meaningful for the actual writer of the essay. And for the sociological education essay is I think that we should be more careful to whom we give it to. Even that it is our dearest friend. If the case is about an article in the blog, I personally think that we must put our sources because the writer put their time and effort to the article and we have to acknowledge it. I think no matter how small the plagiarism, it is still plagiarism.
Your Version: “If the case is about an article in the blog, I personally think that we must put our sources because the writer put their time and effort to the article and we have to acknowledge it.”
My Version: “As for the case of the articles on the blog, I personally think that we must cite our sources because the writers expended time and effort to produce the articles and we have to acknowledge it.”
I want to say that I don’t expect your first encounter with plagiarism is getting caught by the original author. I think you were just being unlucky since the probability is very low. Perhaps you wouldn’t have been got caught for your first plagiarism if you didn’t meet that guest lecture. Your second plagiarism is more relatable than the first one. I admit that I did this form of plagiarism frequently during my high school years. I see that I was a lot like Bill Lawrence as we are “distributor”. Parasite for the original worker, get praised by the other.
The first case about American civil war essay where you got caught copying from the supervisor’s own book. This is a serious matter because the writer put a lot of time and effort into the book, and what you did was, you stole the writer’s ideas and work by not putting a citation in it. And if you got away with it and got an “A”, that’s worse because it’s not even your work. Same thing for the case where your friends copied your essay and FEB blog. By not doing plagiarism we’re acknowledging the writer’s work and effort.
Your Version: “This is a serious matter because the writer put a lot of time and effort into the book, and what you did was, you stole the writer’s ideas and work by not putting a citation in it.”
My Version: “This was a serious matter because the writer had put a lot of time and effort into the book, and what you did was to steal the writer’s ideas and work by not citing them.”
Plagiarizing from books in making an essay like the civil war case is not that quite serious for me if there’s a change in some words. However, it can be quite rude if it’s checked by the original author. For the sociology case, personally, it would be pretty serious. Imagine, around twenty peoples having the same essay as you, I think it's awful. As for the daily blog is not much of a problem, although I find many articles didn't have the references, some posts like videos attached a link to the YouTube, so considerably; it's still mentioning the credits.

My Version: “In the case of the sociology essay, personally, I think it would be pretty serious. Imagine around twenty peoples having the same essay as youI I think it's awful.”
I believe that the plagiarism cases mentioned are of the same level of seriousness. The difference would lie in the size of the consequence. With the blog, I guess that it may be excused as it is for “personal” educational purposes. Though, I still think that attaching proper citations would be a safer option. In terms of the Civil War paper, with arguments, acknowledgments are crucial because you are referencing someone's train of thoughts, not just a fact. Lastly, although Mr. Coen didn’t copy anyone for the sociology paper, he assisted people in performing plagiarism. To most institutions, that is still a form of major academic misconduct.

My Version: “In terms of the Civil War paper, acknowledging arguments is crucial because you are referencing someone's train of thoughts not just facts.”
In my opinion, the civil war essay case and the blog article plagiarism are equally as serious simply because the two come from one issue: not crediting the original author. The slight difference would be that former steals another author’s arguments, while the latter uses someone else’s pieces without credit. As for the second case, I don’t think it is as harmful as the others, especially when you have requested your friend to paraphrase it. However, it is still unethical. Your friend basically used your work as one of their sources and, as mentioned by the American author, it would not be an issue had they paraphrased and gave credits to you.
Your Version: “Your friend basically used your work as one of their sources and, as mentioned by the American author, it would not be an issue had they paraphrased and gave credits to you.”
My Version: “Your friend basically used your work as one of their sources and, as mentioned by the American author, it would not be an issue had they paraphrased and given credit to you.”
To begin with, I will always consider plagiarism as a very serious issue, and I'm not only talking about academic plagiarism. In the podcast and in the Whatsapp voice note, three kinds of plagiarism were addressed. Out of the three cases of plagiarism, I can underline the main harm that comes within plagiarism is respect. The first case, Sir Adrian didn't quite respect the author of the little book. On the second case, Sir Adrian was also taken under the bus along other students who had no respect for his work. At the end of the day, the habit of plagiarism could and will produce a generation that lacks work ethic and creativity.
Your Version: “Out of the three cases of plagiarism, I can underline the main harm that comes within plagiarism is respect. The first case, Sir Adrian didn't quite respect the author of the little book.”
My Version: “From the three cases of plagiarism, I can emphasize that the main harm that plagiarism does is to respect. In the first case, Adrian didn't respect the author of the book.”
The first occurrence was a very serious case of plagiarism because when writing an academic essay, it is important to always cite your sources. Otherwise, it’d be like one was writing off someone else’s ideas and words as their own. The second case of plagiarism wasn’t very serious because you were the one being plagiarised, though the fault lay in the fact that you allowed your friend to copy your essay. The last example is a pretty serious case of plagiarism because all the articles on the blog are consumed by many (students) and the author deserves credit.
Your Version: “The first occurrence was a very serious case of plagiarism because when writing an academic essay, it is important to always cite your sources. Otherwise, it’d be like one was writing off someone else’s ideas and words as their own.”
My Version: “The first occurrence was a very serious case of plagiarism because, when writing an academic essay, it is important to always cite your sources. Otherwise, it is literally passing off someone else’s ideas and words as their own.”
The first one Adrian basically took a paragraph from a book without giving any source. He did change a few words from it but it is enough to be called plagiarism because he did not put credits for the original author. The second one is he lent his work to his friends, lending essay to someone else can also be considered as plagiarism because his friends copied Adrian’s opinion as his own essay. The last one is plagiarism because the articles are being copied to EWS blog without any credits which means claiming somebody else’s writing from the original author.
Your Version: “The first one Adrian basically took a paragraph from a book without giving any source. He did change a few words from it but it is enough to be called plagiarism because he did not put credits for the original author.”
My Version: “In the first one, Adrian basically took a paragraph from a book without giving the source. He did change a few words in it but this is enough to be considered plagiarism because he did not credit the original author.”
Dishonesty and lack of integrity has never been or ever will be a good image to put out. That goes for daily lives, let alone being implied to literacy. Direct plagiarism is when an executant uses one’s work for their own credit and benefit, such as Mr. Coen’s American Civil War Essay and a Blogspot without citation. Both having an underlying concern of no crediting, which detriments the original. In the second story, Mr. Coen is the one being taken advantage of. He never gave consent for his work to be plagiarised, therefore he is not the one to blame.
Your Version: “Dishonesty and lack of integrity has never been or ever will be a good image to put out. That goes for daily lives, let alone being implied to literacy.”
My Version: “Dishonesty and lack of integrity has never been nor ever will be a good image to project. That goes for daily lives, let alone when it applies to academia.”
For the first case, surely there is a factor of bad luck for Sir Adrian, but the lesson is that we have to appreciate other people’s ideas by giving them credit. For the second case, it is a matter of trusting the right person, so we won’t get trapped in the same hole. The third case is purely about respecting the authors and the ideas they put in their products. By performing plagiarism like in the first and third case, one could be charged for violating the copyright law in our constitution, so I considered plagiarism as a serious issue.
Your Version: “By performing plagiarism like in the first and third case, one could be charged for violating the copyright law in our constitution, so I considered plagiarism as a serious issue.”
My Version: “By engaging plagiarism like in the first and third cases, one could be charged for violating the copyright law in our constitution, so I consider it a serious issue.”
In the case of plagiarism without writing the source, I think it is a quite serious case, because we’re reusing a person’s arguments or quotes without asking for permission. Even more concerning is that it is basically a tradition here in Indonesia. I’ve seen quite a lot of cases in my senior high. For the second case, I think it’s also quite serious. Lending your paper to someone isn’t exactly bad, but if they just blatantly copy it, then we have a right to be upset. If we’re borrowing someone’s paper, use it for inspiration only, and don’t copy it.
Your Version: “In the case of plagiarism without writing the source, I think it is a quite serious case, because we’re reusing a person’s arguments or quotes without asking for permission.”
My Version: “In the first case of plagiarism, I think it is a quite serious case because we’re reusing a person’s arguments or quotes without acknowledging the source.”
Mr. Coen gave us three cases of plagiarism. The first one about him plagiarizing from a book to write a paper about the American civil war. Second, about his peers copying his assignment. Last, about plagiarizing articles post on the ‘FEB Campus Daily Blog’.
Since the first two cases would have affected Mr. Coen and his peer’s academic results, if not caught, I would consider it as serious cases of plagiarism, because it counts as deception. On-the-contrary, I wouldn’t call the third case a serious act of plagiarism, since it didn’t benefit Mr. Coen personally, and doesn’t really harm anyone.
Your Version: “The first one about him plagiarizing from a book to write a paper about the American civil war. Second, about his peers copying his assignment. Last, about plagiarizing articles post on the ‘FEB Campus Daily Blog’.”
My Version: “The first one is about him plagiarizing from a book to write a paper about the American civil war. The second one is about his peers copying his assignment. Last, there is the one about plagiarizing articles posted on the ‘FEB Campus Daily Blog’.”
The American Civil War essay was the most severe kind. It involved using somebody else’s ideas and words without appropriately acknowledging and crediting the source of the arguments used. The second most severe act of plagiarism was the Sociology essay. Facilitating somebody else to plagiarise means the original writer gave his consent instead of standing up against academic misconduct. Lastly, the least serious one is posting articles on the EWS blog without citations because the blog owner did not claim the works to be his, and numerous news outlets have been doing the same.
From the podcast, you’ve done two different form of plagiarism. In my opinion, plagiarism always started with procrastinating. On the American civil war assignment, you’ve done the simplest most common thing anybody will do on plagiarizing, which is copy, paste and change the words. It should be fine, if you quote and put the reference. On the social of education essay, you’re then considered as involved, because plagiarism is a two side acts, meaning both lender and receiver are wrong. In the third case, I’ve never seen you not putting any citation. But if you do, then it’s a hypocrisy.
Your Version: “On the social of education essay, you’re then considered as involved, because plagiarism is a two side acts, meaning both lender and receiver are wrong.”
My Version: “With the sociology of education essay, you are considered to be involved in a two-sided act of plagiarism, meaning both lender and borrower are wrong.”
All of these are a very common case of plagiarism. I also realised that it also happened in my previous school. I think we as students have little training on writing our own essays is the problem of why people do plagiarism. Plagiarists keep doing it because there are no strict rules that are going to punish them, and it was proven by you stating that you get another chance without any major punishment. This is a very serious problem that can lead to your last one of copying people's work and posting it online as if you wrote it.
This answer scarcely addresses the task you were given.
Your Version: “I think we as students have little training on writing our own essays is the problem of why people do plagiarism.”
My Version: “I think we, as students, have little training on writing our own essays and this is why there is the problem of people engaging in plagiarism.”
1. The seriousness of the three different cases of plagiarism can be ordered from most severe to least in the following: the sociology essay assignment , the American Civil War plagiarism and the blog. Plagiarism in the case of the sociology essay is the most severe because it didn't only affect one person ,as is the case with the American Civil War, but it affected eight people who all got a failing grade for an assignment. Writing on a blog and not crediting sources can vary in severity in accordance with the size of the audience: the more people given uncredible information the more severe.
Your Version: “Writing on a blog and not crediting sources can vary in severity in accordance with the size of the audience: the more people given uncredible information the more severe.”
My Version: “Writing on a blog and not crediting sources can vary in severity in accordance with the size of the audience: the more people given uncredited articles, the more severe it is.”
If we plagiarize a book, we disrespect the years of hard work and thought of the author on making the book perfectly. Giving people our work for them to copy means that we consciously allowed the copier to do plagiarism, which is unacceptable. The linking of an article is important for both the quoter and the writer. The writer could attract more readers and the quoter will not get accused of plagiarism. Even though it seems trivial, plagiarism is a crime and we can't tolerate it anymore.
Plagiarism is not a choice for any kind of situation. Copying someone else’s work and ideas are defined as an act of crime. Adrian (in this case) got caught twice for plagiarism. From that story, we can conclude that there are many forms of plagiarism conduct. For instance, copying someone else’s work. The next wrong deed is putting someone’s ideas without giving the owner credits. The last misfortune he experienced is when he shared his work with one of his colleagues. But, as result, 8 out of 25 people in his class copied his essay.
I would say the civil war case is a bit of “crossing the line”, while you didn’t just sort of “oh this one is good, I’ll just rename it as myself”, the 3/4 contents is still much deriven from her book so it is a little severe I’d say. And about the social case is uh… is fatality too much? Cause the whole class literally copy-paste the essay without even changing the format of the writing and it is really messed up.
Your Version: “I would say the civil war case is a bit of “crossing the line”, while you didn’t just sort of “oh this one is good, I’ll just rename it as myself”, the 3/4 contents is still much deriven from her book so it is a little severe I’d say.”
My Version: “I would say that the civil war essay case “crosses the line”, although you didn’t just say, “oh this one is good, I’ll just rename it as my own”; but the three-quarters of the content plagiarized is still too much derived from her book so I’d say it is quite severe.”
I believe that plagiarism should never be accepted in any kinds, especially in writing essays or articles. For the first and last scenario, it is crucial for you to write the citations when any source is used because it is a sign of respect to the writer’s work. For the second one however, I think you were not entirely wrong as it was mainly your friends mistake. They should have only use it as a reference and not copy your entire work. This kind of practices actually still happen and I do think it completely alright if they only use it as a reference.
Your Version: “. For the second one however, I think you were not entirely wrong as it was mainly your friends mistake. They should have only use it as a reference and not copy your entire work.”
My Version: “For the second one, however, I think you were not entirely to blame as it was mainly your friends’ mistake. They should have only used it as a reference and not copied your entire essay.”
The first case mentioned is, in my opinion, the worst one. Copying someone else's work and only changing it up a bit doesn’t make any difference. However, you can automatically fix it just by giving credit to the owner. This also correlates with the second case where you got dragged into the problem. Lending your work is alright, but it should only be used as reference. The third case is the least problematic because it is used in a more casual setting. Although, crediting the main source is always the better option as to allow the commenters to read more.
Your Version: “The third case is the least problematic because it is used in a more casual setting. Although, crediting the main source is always the better option as to allow the commenters to read more.”
My Version: “The third case is the least problematic because the material is used in a more casual setting, although crediting the main source is always the better option so as to allow the students to read more.”
Citation needs to be written if you got the idea from restricted works such as books or journals. Attribution needs to be written when you got your idea from open sources like news sites or your friend’s work. Another thing is acknowledgment. It is like a credit for someone who helped you during the writing of your essay. They could be your teacher, friends, or informant. Out of these three, I think the most important one is citation. I think a citation is a fundamental way to credit the original author. Followed by attribution and acknowledgment for the last one.
This answer scarcely addresses the task you were given.
Your Version: “Citation needs to be written if you got the idea from restricted works such as books or journals. Attribution needs to be written when you got your idea from open sources like news sites or your friend’s work.”
My Version: “A citation needs to be provided if you got the idea from academic works such as books or journals. Attribution needs to be provided when you got your idea from public sources like news sites or your friend’s work.”
Copying articles into our own blog without any acknowledgement and citation is the most severe issue. It is as if we are trying to deceive our readers into thinking that someone else’s work is ours. Meanwhile, although The American Civil War plagiarism case involved paraphrasing and altering words, it is still considered as a wrongful act as we are still retaining the original sentence structure and their ideas without giving any credits to the author. Lastly, the Sociology case involves lending your own work for others to copy– which is an act of encouragement for them to commit plagiarism.
Your Version: “Meanwhile, although The American Civil War plagiarism case involved paraphrasing and altering words, it is still considered as a wrongful act as we are still retaining the original sentence structure and their ideas without giving any credits to the author.”
My Version: “Meanwhile, although The American Civil War plagiarism case involved paraphrasing and altering words, it is considered a wrongful act as we are still retaining the original sentence structure and the author’s ideas without giving he or she any credit.”
In this paragraph, I will analyze three cases of plagiarism. Those three are Mr Coen choosing to plagiarise from one of his professor’s works for one of his modules, letting his friend copy his essay for a sociology class and not crediting the original author when uploading an article. All of these cases are bad. However, amongst those three, the third one is the worst. Mr Coen’s position as an educator implicitly consents his students to plagiarize as compared to the other two cases that still have safety barriers which are the professors.
Your Version: “Mr Coen’s position as an educator implicitly consents his students to plagiarize as compared to the other two cases that still have safety barriers which are the professors.”
My Version: “Mr Coen’s position as an educator means his behaviour implicitly gives consent to his students to plagiarize when compared to the other two cases which still have safety barriers which are the professors.”
In my opinion, the most extreme form out of the three would be the moment Adrian copy and paste sentences from a book without giving a credit in his essay as well as posting the article without citation. Anyone should give the credit whenever they are taking someone else’s work or idea. Last but not the least would be lending your answer to someone else. This is not as serious as the first two as your intention was to help your friend. However, it was also Adrian’s fault as he shared his work from the first place.
Your Version: “In my opinion, the most extreme form out of the three would be the moment Adrian copy and paste sentences from a book without giving a credit in his essay as well as posting the article without citation.”
My Version: “In my opinion, the most extreme forms out of the three would be the moment Adrian copied and pasted sentences from a book into his essay without giving credit as well as posting the articles without citation.”
Plagiarism is indeed a seriously wrong act, not only in the academic environment, but also in the working world. The first case of plagiarism was a serious one, and one that could have easily been avoided if the doer procrastinated less, so it was the doer’s fault. The second case was just about the doer trying to help a friend, and the friend was at fault for just sharing it without asking for permission. In the case of the blog, it is a gravely wrong doing to just “steal” someone else’s work from the internet without giving them credit.
Your Version: “The second case was just about the doer trying to help a friend, and the friend was at fault for just sharing it without asking for permission.”
My Version: “The second case was just about the writer of the original essay trying to help a friend, and that friend was then at fault just sharing it without asking for permission.”
Task 1 Not crediting an author for their work in an essay/article is the same as passing the content off as your own (taking Adrian’s civil war essay and the FEB campus blog as examples), and this can get you legally fined/penalized. Giving your work to someone else for them to copy from (like what happened in the case of Adrian’s sociology essay), can get you to fail a course, or worse, you may get suspended/expelled from the university. Aside from the academic sanctions, you will also ruin your reputation among your peers as well as future employers.

My Version: “Giving your work to someone else for them to copy from (like what happened in the case of Adrian’s sociology essay), could result in you failing a course or, worse, you could get suspended/expelled from the university.”
Plagiarizing in the context of history is pretty bad, if we plagiarized someone’s writing and someone’s brief research on history it’s pretty much the same as stealing all of their hardwork. Plagiarizing in the context of sociology is worse, because we have to do research that took more than a couple of months, just think that someone stole our research and hardwork just like that. Plagiarizing in the web is pretty serious also, but not as bad as plagiarizing in a history and sociology context, because it’s an informal article for students to read and it’s not a formal paper.
Your Version: “Plagiarizing in the context of history is pretty bad, if we plagiarized someone’s writing and someone’s brief research on history it’s pretty much the same as stealing all of their hardwork.”
My Version: “Plagiarizing in the context of studying history is pretty bad. If we plagiarize someone’s writing and their historical research, it’s pretty much the same as stealing all of their hardwork.”
Plagiarism, no matter how it’s done, is still a plagiarism. First case, procrastination is the source of this problem. When you said that history is about reading a lot of books, then it will be very difficult to finish it in a short time. Secondly, giving your work to someone means you have no control over what you’ve done and every possible outcome. Third, it is considered stealing their ideas without permission. In my opinion, everything that I mentioned will eventually lead to plagiarism. There is no difference between case 1 and the others on how serious it will be.
Plagiarism is an unethical action. Doing plagiarism is the same as we don’t appreciate the original creator. If plagiarism is not eradicated, someone else’s original work can be used to benefit the plagiarist also the original creator can be accused if their work is misused. To prevent this act, the work must be checked by an authorized person if is it original or copying from other work. According to the podcast, it seems to me that procrastination can be the cause of Plagiarism so relieving procrastination can help us to avoid the plagiarism act.
This does not seem to really address the task you were given.

The first case is a pretty serious offence; Mr. Adrian violated the anti-plagiarism rules in his university (using another’s work without giving any credit) which disrespects the author of the book as Mr. Adrian presented her ideas as his own. The second case isn’t as serious as the first one as Mr. Adrian didn’t mind that his essay was used as a framework for others’ works. The third case is similar to the first case, though not as big of a deal as the articles are posted on a small platform (private university blog) that is purely for assignments.

Plagiarism is one of the main things students should prevent, even at the University of Gajah Mada, doing plagiarism can cause someone to drop out. As a high school student, I often cheating while doing my homework. At that time, my alibi was because I did not get enough time because I joined a lot of events at school. But in university, I feel like time management is one of the soft skills every student should excel at because time management can lead someone to prepare everything such as studying to avoid plagiarism.

The first case where you pretty much copied your supervising guest lecturer's book was a serious case of disrespect, what are the chances? I cant imagine being in her position, my own writing is taken without credit! The second case isnt particularly your fault, because you just want to help a struggling friend. But overall encouraging to plagiarize is just a bad habit and it backfires at you. The third case, if youve done that then you will indirectly doom the students of FEB to plagiarize. By normalizing that habit, students of FEB will think that its okay to plagiarize.

My Version: “The third case – assuming you did do that - you would indirectly encourage the students of FEB to plagiarize. By normalizing that habit, the students would think that it’s okay to plagiarize.”
In my opinion, the most serious case of plagiarism goes to the FEB blog one because I think by Adrian sharing it to students who have put trust and respect in him as a teacher would not only be hypocritical to do, but also offensive to other writers as he is taking credit for their work. Second in seriousness would be plagiarizing from the teacher's book, since, in a sense, Adrian (if he wasn't caught) would only be acclaimed by his teacher rather than hundreds of his students. Third is sharing the original essay, since his friends plagiarized, not him.

Plagiarism has its own magical charm to pull you when doing an allnighter. After hearing the podcast, the first case which copies exactly from the book without acknowledgement it is very serious because you just steal someone’s idea basically and can be thrown out of the university. The second case personally it is also a serious case because you also copying it without even changing it. The final one which you put an article without giving credit to the author the same as case 1 in real life situation it is very dangerous and you can be sued for it.

After hearing the podcast, I’d say the first case, which copies exactly from the book without acknowledgement, is very serious because you are basically just stealing someone’s idea and you could be thrown out of the university.”
I can finally conclude that in terms of the worst type of plagiarism would be the first case and copying an article. Copying a piece of information without giving a citation indicates either a person has been copying all along or that information is purely wrong. I think that is why I ranked it the worst. In terms of the second case, I still believe that you had the intention of guiding them through the essay. Even though you knew that there are things that may get copied, you believed that they would change the text a bit to avoid identicality.
The first case has taught us if we put someone's idea into our work, the ethical thing for us to do is to give credit for their work, including if we put it on our blog site as well. Because this is an attitude of honesty that shows we have appreciated and acknowledge the effort of theirs. Besides that, we also need to prevent the act of plagiarism by not freely giving out our work to others. As in the second case, they could easily copy our effort, and therefore, our work's authenticity would be questioned.

For the essay on civil war, the writer didn’t put any reference about where he got the information that he wrote in his essay. This has led to the detection of plagiarism and made him get a bad grade for this essay. On the other hand, on the sociology essay, the writer’s friend plagiarised the writer’s essay without even changing the words and had spread it to other people. This led to eight of them getting bad scores due to plagiarism. In the case where if Mr. Adrian doesn’t put any citation or reference on the blogspot, it could get him in trouble because it is open to the public and plagiarism may be easily detected.

Plagiarism is one bad 'domino' in the education. One factor that affects the growth of plagiarism is the minimum level of literacy and people's mindset on their self-development. The case of Mr Coen's ignorance on plagiarism was the generation's current reflection. It was an emerging issue because plagiarism shows that someone kills their own potential by letting their curiosity go in learning. The second case told me to encourage people to do writings on their own. This practice should be abandoned by the education system itself, starting from the assertive rules of authorship given from the goverment to schools.

My Version: “Mr Coen's ignorance on plagiarism is reflected in the current generation. It is an emerging issue because plagiarism shows that someone kills their own potential by losing their curiosity for learning.”
. I think that the third case, posting someone else’s work without proper citation or indication of source, is the worst out of the three cases. This is because the plagiariser steals not only someone else’s idea, but also their whole writing. The act of plagiarism here is the same as the second case where there were some people who copied another person’s work and they turned in the plagiarised work. This means that they turn in a work they claim as theirs. These two situations are similar to the first case, except some changes were being made to the text on the first case. Hence, the first case is “lighter” because only the idea was stolen.
Your Version: “I think that the third case, posting someone else’s work without proper citation or indication of source, is the worst out of the three cases. This is because the plagiariser steals not only someone else’s idea, but also their whole writing.”

There are 2 main issues of plagiarism in both essay of american civil war and sociology of education. The first one is paraphrasing, you cannot just change a few words of someone else’s work and submit it as your own without giving your own take on the topic, and the second one is not giving credits/citation to the person that has the original idea. For blogs, you need to give credits and not just paraphrase.
Plagiarism is a very bad deed. Like what you did when you make an essay of American civil war and in your fourth-year essay. What you did is absolutely wrong because when you want to take other people idea you have to give credit, its not enough just to change the word. When you lend your essay to other people you have to consider that there is a possibility that your friend will copy it. When we write an essay and we have to take other people’s idea, it is very important to give a citation and credit.
Your Version: “Like what you did when you make an essay of American civil war and in your fourth-year essay. What you did is absolutely wrong because when you want to take other people idea you have to give credit, its not enough just to change the word.”
My Version: “What you did when you wrote an essay on the American Civil War in your fourth year is absolutely wrong. This is because, when you want to take other people’s ideas, you have to give credit; it’s not enough just to change the words.”
Plagiarism in the context of history is unethical because the copying of another person’s ideas or words, without acknowledgment is wrong. Plagiarizing in the context of sociology of education is also as unethical as the historical plagiarism. Imagine taking credit for copying someone’s writing that actually worked hard to make the paper and claim that the paper. I think that is a really unethical thing to do. Plagiarism practice from the web is also an unethical thing to do. However, in this case, the writings is just for the student to read and learn about the English writing skills, so it is no problem.
Your Version: “Plagiarism in the context of history is unethical because the copying of another person’s ideas or words, without acknowledgment is wrong.”
My Version: “Plagiarism in the context of studying history is unethical because the copying of another person’s ideas or words, without acknowledgement, is cheating.”
Note: “unethical” and “wrong” basically mean the same thing, so it avoid the sentence sounding repetitious, I have added a more specific word about what was “wrong”.
When we are talking about history, which is not a purely intellectual subject, plagiarism is bound to occur. In such instances, we must always credit the author we are referring to in order to prevent plagiarism. I don’t think this type of plagiarism is that severe. By giving our work to our friends and trusting them. We are providing the means for them to plagiarize. This type of plagiarism is moderately severe. When we take another person’s work and claim it as our own to gain the credit and benefits for ourselves. This is the most egregious type of plagiarism.

In your FEB Campus Daily Blog case, I certainly think it is a form of plagiarism since you posted the articles with no attributions, citations, and acknowledgments. But, the thing is that no one credited you as the owner of the blog for those articles. It perhaps could be an argument that justified your act of posting articles without any attributes. However, we can't deny that plagiarism is a serious case because it can damage your reputation academically and professionally. It is scary since you can unintendedly plagiarize someone else's work, and the line in determining plagiarism is pretty vague for me. So, in my opinion, you should put the link to the original articles in your blog.
Your Version: “In your FEB Campus Daily Blog case, I certainly think it is a form of plagiarism since you posted the articles with no attributions, citations, and acknowledgments. But, the thing is that no one credited you as the owner of the blog for those articles.”
My Version: “In the case of your FEB Campus Daily Blog, I certainly think it would be a form of plagiarism if you posted the articles with no attributions, citations, or acknowledgments. However, an issue would be that you are not credited as the owner of the blog featuring those articles.”
Note: If you look at the blog, you will see I am quite clearly its ‘owner’.
For the first case, since you copied a few paragraphs from an academic book for your essay, this to me can easily be considered as the most serious out of the three cases. Next would be the copying of articles for our FEB Campus Blog since no credits are given to the author. In my opinion, the last case, which is when you gave a copy of your essay, is the least serious case of plagiarism out of the three. Since you warned your friend to paraphrase the contents of the essay, the blame isn’t all on you.
It’s not too important, but I think you got the three cases in the wrong order.
Your Version: “For the first case, since you copied a few paragraphs from an academic book for your essay, this to me can easily be considered as the most serious out of the three cases.”
My Version: “In the first case, since you copied a few paragraphs from an academic book for your essay, this to me can easily be considered the most serious out of the three.”
I find the plagiarism case of the ‘sociology education’ essay is the most serious because so many of Mr. Adrian’s peers copied his paper word-for-word and claimed the work as their own. The hypothetical case (links to posted articles on the blog aren’t included) is similar in magnitude because in both situations, ideas, opinions, and arguments are copied word-for-word without citation but, because the work is only copied once rather than multiple times, it’s not as bad. The least concerning case is the American Civil War essay as the original work isn’t copied word-for-word, but still, a citation isn’t included.
For the first case, I don’t think other book writers would be as lenient as her, so most people would get into trouble if they have ever plagiarized and get caught like that. As for lending a friend our essay, I think it is better if we teach them how to do their own essay instead of just lending them our essay that will only be plagiarized and claimed. If there were any plagiarism case in the blog, it will be problematic because the FEB blog will have risk of shutting down if it was caught by the original writer.

The plagiarism on the American Civil War essay terrible. He did not fully copy everything but carefully took paragraphs and changed the words a little bit. His mistake was not citing the book he got it from, which is punishable. The sociology essay plagiarism was not that bad. It was passed on to different people. He did not plagiarize, but he indirectly helped others to plagiarize. If he did not cite the article on the blog, I don't think it is that bad, as the article would help us learn, but he would have been a hypocrite for that.

1. From the 2 beginning cases, I believe that those 2 cases are still consider fully considered as plagiarism because their answers were all not authentic. The first case was obviously plagiarised as the student plagiarised the lecturers book. The second case is also a really case of plagiarism as the answers were not authenthic and just followed other students answers. For the third one, if the texts were not identified as another’s work, then it is a very serious case of plagiarism as it basically rip offs the original authors work.
Your Version: “From the 2 beginning cases, I believe that those 2 cases are still consider fully considered as plagiarism because their answers were all not authentic. The first case was obviously plagiarised as the student plagiarised the lecturers book.”
My Version: “As for the first two cases, I believe that they should still be considered as plagiarism because the answers were not authentic. The first case was obviously plagiarised as the student copied material from the lecturer’s book.”
Copying the information out of the book without citation is the worst, especially if it is done for academic purposes, whose academic goals also aim at humanity. this is because we claim the findings and thoughts of people on. For lending the essay, I can say it is wrong actually, unless it is paraphrased with some adjustments to every point of view. For the blog, although credits/citations are not being mentioned in the blog. It is more tolerable because many blogs these days are just for entertainment purposes.
Your Version: “For the blog, although credits/citations are not being mentioned in the blog. It is more tolerable because many blogs these days are just for entertainment purposes.”
My Version: “As for the blog, even if credits/citations were not being mentioned, it would be more tolerable because many blogs these days are just for entertainment purposes.”
For the first case, I think that this case is serious although it isn’t as serious as the second case. I can’t even imagine myself being caught red handed by the writer of the book that is being plagiarized. That must be super embarrassing and makes you feel really guilty. For the second case, I think that if someone wants to borrow your writing, you have to be sure that the guy only uses it for reference and not going to copy the whole writing. For the third case, I don’t think I ever see you not post the original link of the post.
I believe that the first one is an example of mosaic plagiarism. It occurs when you try to use synonyms for the words of the original while keeping the same general idea which is an academic dishonesty punishable by the institution. The second one shows plagiarism in a direct form and in this situation is a form of theft in a sense that it steals other people's ideas and claims that they are your own. The third one can be considered as a direct or accidental plagiarism. It depends, whether you are intentional or accidental on forgetting to cite sources.
Your Version: “The third one can be considered as a direct or accidental plagiarism. It depends, whether you are intentional or accidental on forgetting to cite sources.”
My Version: “The third one can be considered to be direct or accidental plagiarism but the severity depends on whether it was an intentional or accidental case of not citing the sources.”
For the first and third scenario, I feel like it is vital for you to write the citations that you used since those words are written by someone else. Using another people's ideas is considered stealing and it also mean that you are not giving the credit that the person deserved. For the second scenario, I think you should just be careful next time and not let anyone copy your work that u put a lot of effort to.
Excluding citation is the most serious plagiarism. Citation is used to refer to a work with all rights reserve copyright that was mentioned in the paper. This mean the owner’s permission is needed to be able to use the work. The second most serious plagiarism is excluding attribution. Attribution is used to refer to an open-copyright license. This means people are allowed to use the work but have to make a proper attribution to the author. The third most serious plagiarism is excluding acknowledgement. Acknowledgement is giving credit to people who were involved in the making of the work.
Your Version: “Citation is used to refer to a work with all rights reserve copyright that was mentioned in the paper. This mean the owner’s permission is needed to be able to use the work.”
My Version: “Citation is used to refer to a work with all rights reserve copyright that was mentioned in the paper. This does not mean that the owner’s permission is needed to be able to use the work; you just have to acknowledge its use.”
The case about no citation or credit on essay can be more fatal if one thought the essay was good and publish it somewhere the public is able to read. Posting an article on the blog without any citation is also a serious case since the original writer can be furious if they are discredited and simply because it's not ethical to do so. Maybe, a lot of students have experienced copying friends' work. That should be taken seriously too because that's a habit they gonna bring to the work field later. Hence, the lecturer shouldn't let that happen.
Your Version: “The case about no citation or credit on essay can be more fatal if one thought the essay was good and publish it somewhere the public is able to read.”
My Version: “Cases of no citations in an essay can be more serious if the essay is good and gets published somewhere and the public is able to read it.”
Plagiarism is an act of someone copying ideas or arguments from someone else without giving any credit. Plagiarism could be happened because of the bad habit of someone. Based on the podcast, plagiarism could happen if someone has a lack of self-discipline, for example, procrastinating any assignment. If we want to copy any idea, do not forget to give a citation or credit. Plagiarism is an act that we need to prevent by not being a part of it. Although we did not plagiarize ideas, giving ideas to be plagiarized by someone else, meaning that we are participating in plagiarism.
This answer seems rather off-target because you haven’t analyzed each of the three examples of plagiarism mentioned in the podcast.
Your Version: “Based on the podcast, plagiarism could happen if someone has a lack of self-discipline, for example, procrastinating any assignment.”
My Version: “According to the podcast, plagiarism can happen if someone has a lack of self-discipline, for example, procrastinating before soing an assignment.”
Plagiarism is one of the main problems in education, hence why there are new technologies that could be used as a plagiarism checker. In the first case, giving credit to someone’s words or citing them is allowed and is very common in academic writing. It’s unethical to take credit for something you didn’t write. The second case is more serious because these people who completely plagiarized your work gave consequences even to you, the original writer, who didn’t do it. The third case would also be a serious problem, especially because there are no ‘supervisors’ that could report the wrongful act of plagiarism on the internet.
Plagiarism is a new thing for me. I used to ignore and didn't care about it. In high school, students can copy each other works very similarly and don't get plagiarism from the teacher. I just learned that plagiarism is a big issue while I'm in university. We must make our essay with originality and put references. Writing an essay is difficult especially if our brain doesn't come up with any ideas. I hate writing a history essay, it requires us to read a bunch of references. Are you on good terms with the person who spread your essay, Sir?
It is important to note that giving credit or acknowledging the original creator of an idea or writing is very crucial in academic writing as using it serves as an intellectual debt. It is very serious when plagiarizing published work or articles as it may lead to expulsion, legal action, as well as fines and penalties. Even though plagiarizing another friend’s work is not as serious, it can still cause you to fail courses or even get expelled depending on the lecturer and the rules of the university. Giving the original source is always important even when posting on blogs.
In my opinion all types of plagiarism is bad, but for the seriousness, I would say the case where an article is put on the blog then not credited is the most serious. I think this way because in a blog it is for the general public to see and with interaction about the topic in the blog comments to occur, as for plagiarism in academic tasks it is still bad but not as serious because its more for your professors and other students to read as most likely it won't be published
Your Version: “In my opinion all types of plagiarism is bad, but for the seriousness, I would say the case where an article is put on the blog then not credited is the most serious.”
My Version: “In my opinion, all types of plagiarism are bad; however, in terms of seriousness, I would say the case where an article is put on the blog without being credited is the most serious.”
The first case (war essay), it is reckoned plagiarism, yet I think the case isn’t as severe as the other two. This is due to the fact that the words were altered, yet the credit wasn’t granted and it claimed other’s ideas without acknowledgement. For the second case (sociology essay), it can be deemed as a consequential case of plagiarism because parts of the essay were totally unchanged, uncredited, and it was passed on to other students. Lastly, in the case of the blog, I think it is considered as an extremely serious case of plagiarism and ethical issue that may lead to severe consequences since the articles were directly copy pasted without providing any source or credibility.
Your Version: “For the second case (sociology essay), it can be deemed as a consequential case of plagiarism because parts of the essay were totally unchanged, uncredited, and it was passed on to other students.”
My Version: “For the second case (sociology essay), it can be deemed a more consequential form of plagiarism because parts of the essay were totally unchanged, uncredited, and it was passed on to other students.”
Plagiarism has been one of the biggest issues in a lot of aspects, but with the least concern from most people who subconsciously do it all the time. Although it looks simple, the smallest form of plagiarism could affect other people more than we can ever imagine. Not only does it violate the people that got plagiarized, but also does it disserve the people who do it. It does make our work easier and might be beneficial for a while. But later on, we will be struggling in so many ways by getting used to not having our original ideas.
This piece of writing is certainly about plagiarism but it is not an answer to my question.
Your Version: “Not only does it violate the people that got plagiarized, but also does it disserve the people who do it. It does make our work easier and might be beneficial for a while.”
My Version: “Not only does it violate the rights of the people whose work is plagiarized, it also does a disserve to the people engage in it. It makes our workload easier and might be beneficial temporarily.”
1. American Civil War This is a funny story and a very bad example for students to follow. We need to give the author of the information a thank you because we use his/her book, information, etc. As a form of a thank you, we need to give credit to the author. 2. Sociology of Education Giving your work to someone means you’ll have no control over you’ve done and every possible outcome. Your friend doesn’t care about your work, they only want to get themself on the safe spot by trying to copy your work. Sometimes it's best to be stingy. 3. No Credit Given by Mr. Adrian When He Posted Some Article on The Blog This kind of plagiarism is very common. We usually find this type of plagiarism in some news articles. Now about the “no credit is given” type of plagiarism. I think if this plagiarism happens in Mr. Adrian’s blog, only a few people will realize the plagiarism in some of the articles, which means, this type of plagiarism is dependent on how the member of the blog will see it. There are 2 probability, one, they will see it as the creativity of writing from Mr. Adrian, two, a small number of people will realize about the act of plagiarism because they try to find the real source. So, I think it’s not as bad as the first topic.
Your Version: “Giving your work to someone means you’ll have no control over you’ve done and every possible outcome. Your friend doesn’t care about your work, they only want to get themself on the safe spot by trying to copy your work. Sometimes it's best to be stingy.”

We should not condone plagiarism by any means, even if we’re the ones who handed out our work to other people since we’re still a participant of the deceitful act, such as Sir Coen’s second case. To avoid plagiarism, we need to define the attributes of our essay, which helps us to explain our ideas and break it down into several aspects. Next, a citation is very crucial to give proper credits to the author and strengthen the legitimacy of our viewpoint. Last, acknowledging our sources can also be beneficial since it shows that we’re credible.
Your Version: “We should not condone plagiarism by any means, even if we’re the ones who handed out our work to other people since we’re still a participant of the deceitful act, such as Sir Coen’s second case.”
My Version: “We should not condone plagiarism under any circumstances, even if we’re the ones who hand our work to other people since we’re still participating in the deceitful act, such as in Mr Coen’s second case.”
In the first plagiarism, Adrian copied a paragraph from a book and turned it into his own essay. Copying is wrong because education is not about memorizing facts, but it’s about solving problems. For the second plagiarism, Adrian handed out his work to his friends. Handing out a work of yours to others is an unethical thing to do because in that way, you’re disrespecting the others that had actually studied. And the last one is not crediting a source, which is wrong because you’re discrediting somebody else’s work and claim it as your own. In other words, it’s theft.
Your Version: “In the first plagiarism, Adrian copied a paragraph from a book and turned it into his own essay. Copying is wrong because education is not about memorizing facts, but it’s about solving problems.”
My Version: “In the first case of plagiarism, Adrian copied paragraphs from a book and turned them into his own essay. Copying is wrong because education is not about memorizing facts; it’s about solving problems.”
The American civil war and the blog post case is basically the same case, which is copying one’s work without giving the credit for it. The only difference is that for the blog case, it will only be seen by students and is not graded, while the American civil war paper is graded. The sociology of education case however, this particular case is in the grey area of plagiarism. When you create a paper with a little bit of inspiration from a friend and with his/her consent, it is kind of legal, but if you copy it straight out, then it’s plagiarism.
Your Version: “The American civil war and the blog post case is basically the same case, which is copying one’s work without giving the credit for it.”
My Version: “The American Civil War case and the blog post case are basically the same; namely copying someone’s work without giving credit for it.”
The first case was just blatant plagiarism because the writer used other people's published writing and made it his own without giving citations and credits. The second case was also bad but this one coulndt get you in jail because it's just a writing of your friends' work and wasn't patented yet meanwhile the first one could get you in jail because it is a book and it's protected under the law. The third one is also as bad one as the first one because if the blog didn't cite and give credit it's a violation of the law as well. Using others' work and sharing it to the public is illegal.
Your Version: “The second case was also bad but this one coulndt get you in jail because it's just a writing of your friends' work and wasn't patented yet meanwhile the first one could get you in jail because it is a book and it's protected under the law.”
My Version: “The second case was also bad but it couldn’t get you into deep trouble because it's just copying your friend’s work and it wasn't patented yet. Meanwhile, the first one is very serious because it is a book and it's protected under the law.”
I understand what is the real meaning of plagiarism actually when I was in my senior high school. I was accidentally using that bad kind of solution in some of my school tasks. Fortunately, I can see the reason behind the prohibition of plagiarism in my own experience. I thought that plagiarism is not only about copy and paste, but it's worth more to the individual character. The value of that prohibition is to teach us the value of honoring others' masterpieces, being honest, upholding integrity, and etc. So, as an educated person, plagiarism is a disgraceful thing for us.
This is an interesting confession about your own plagiarism but it is not an answer to my question.
Your Version: “The value of that prohibition is to teach us the value of honoring others' masterpieces, being honest, upholding integrity, and etc. So, as an educated person, plagiarism is a disgraceful thing for us.”
My Version: “The value of this prohibition is that it teaches us the value of honoring others' work, being honest, upholding integrity, and so on. For an educated person, plagiarizing is disgraceful.”
For the first case, Mr. Adrian only replaced a few words of some pages of the book and did not change the general structure and still have the same meaning. From what I know it's called "patch writing" and yes, it's still called plagiarism even if there's a source footnote to it. The second one, this is a complete plagiarism where Mr. Adrian classmates directly copy the essay and claiming that it's her or his own work. I think this is the most severe case and the easiest to detect. The last one, uploading someone's article without crediting the source but not claiming that it is his own writing is still considered plagiarism. This is the example where there are still many people who do it and usually they don't do it on purpose.
Your Version: “The second one, this is a complete plagiarism where Mr. Adrian classmates directly copy the essay and claiming that it's her or his own work. I think this is the most severe case and the easiest to detect.”
My Version: “The second one is full plagiarism where Mr. Adrian’s classmates directly copy the essay and each claim that it's her or his own work. I think this is the most severe case and the easiest to detect.”
Plagiarism, regardless of its form, is an act that can’t be justified. Concerning the first plagiarism in the case of the American Civil War essay, for me, it is not as serious as the second case. History is something that happened in the past and it will never change. Therefore, if our essay ideas are almost the same one another, it is normal. It is just called unethical when people have the same sentence patterns and words. The next case is when we use resources in our writing, whether it is an essay or a blog post, we must give the author attribution or citation. If we don’t, it means stealing other’s ideas while we know looking for ideas is not something easy as pie. We must start to respect others and stop doing plagiarism.
Your Version: “History is something that happened in the past and it will never change. Therefore, if our essay ideas are almost the same one another, it is normal.”
My Version: “History is something that happened in the past but that does not mean perspectives will never change. Therefore, if our essay’d ideas are almost the same as someone else’s, it may be ‘normal’ but it is still plagiarism.”
Although the teacher said that giving credit to a copied essay was all it takes in order to avoid the punishment, I still think that the copied work is still considered plagiarism and it is unfair to the other students who have put their best effort and time to do the essay. The idea of copying another essay is considered plagiarism. However, i think that Mr. Adrian shouldn't be punished as it is not his mistake and it would be rude towards his friend if he didn't want to help him. We can look at two sides, me (as a student) and the writer of the articles. For the writer, I think that he/she would demand Mr. Adrian to give the credit for his/her work to the articles. On the other hand, I wouldn’t really care about it as it is not something that I should think about.

My Version: “However, I think that Mr. Adrian shouldn't have been punished as it was not his mistake and he would be have been unkind towards his friend if he hadn't wanted to help him.”
For the first and second case If you use someone’s article and didn’t put any credit, it will be considered as plagiarism. Even if you only use a little bit of their idea, in making a journal or essay you still have to put the credit. it’s a serious case of plagiarism in my opinion because in your blog sometimes you don’t change any of the words. You also remind us not to plagiarize that's why you shouldn't do it too. I think putting credit wont harm you much. For the last case, I don’t think it’s your fault because you already asked them to change the words
Plagiarism is an act of stealing and underappreciating one’s idea. I view that the most severe plagiarism is when you copy someone's work and post it without referencing the writer. Though I also think that sharing your essay for others to replicate is also unacceptable. In my opinion, writing is an expression of thoughts and feelings that are personal. Treating it merely as an object without giving any regard towards the process the writer endures is disrespectful. If someone got caught with plagiarism, a confession is appreciated. Though not sinning plagiarism is preferred.

My Version: “Treating it merely as an object, without any regard to the process the author has endured, is disrespectful. If someone gets caught plagiarising, a confession is appreciated. However, not transgressing is preferred.”
After weighing those three acts, in my opinion, the most severe act of plagiarism was the first one, which was the American Civil War essay. The paragraphs were too similar to the point where the author herself noticed, plus there were no citations whatsoever. To make it worse, it was for academic writing. The second one would be the blog case since it was blatantly taking someone else’s work without giving them any credit. Lastly, I think that the sociology of education essay was the least severe one because there was no prior intention of plagiarising.

My mother thought me different kind of violation in journalistic ethics and for the first case it's the kind of mosaic plagiarism where it borrows phrases from a source without quoting it, this kind of plaigrism (whether it intentional or not) is a dishonest action even if you stated the source of it. The second case is a mix of mosaic and direct plaigrism (for your friends) because it's word to word copy and not giving the resources. Third one is an obvious of accidental plaigrism where perhaps you forgot to put onto the source of the article
Your Version: “The second case is a mix of mosaic and direct plaigrism (for your friends) because it's word to word copy and not giving the resources.”
My Version: “The second case is a mix of mosaic and direct plagiarsm (on your friends’ part) because it's a word-for-word copy and does not give its sources.”
AMERICAN CIVIL WAR : I think almost everyone do that kind of thing. But unfortunately, you’re a little bit unlucky this time. And credit was really important, even in writing a thesis you need to make a references for every single article you’ve read.
LENDING ESSAY : It’s still okay to lend your work to somebody else as long as they change the words and everything just like the first person that asked you. So as long as you’re not being those six other person, you’ll be safe.
FEB BLOG : Now this is the worst so far. It was someone else’s work and you cannot do that no matter what. Give credits please.

Reading all of your articles and podcasts, I think when you talking about topics that are already been discussed by other people you always give them credit. So far articles that I read and podcast that I listened to containing things that are mostly originals. Even when you wrote in your article about music that you like, you and your peers nostalgic moment with Bowie and Game of Thrones, in some way you commented and suggest it to us in your own opinion. So I think there is no room for plagiarism there because you wrote what is on your mind.
This answer, as interesting as it may be, is off-target nevertheless. It doesn’t really address the specific task I set.
Your Version: “So far articles that I read and podcast that I listened to containing things that are mostly originals.”
My Version: So far, the articles that I read were taken from various sources (which were acknowledged) and the podcasts that I listened to contained things that are mostly original.”
In my personal opinion, an article explaining about someone's opinion about something shouldn't be patented as if the opinion couldn't be followed by someone else without writing the source. Because if someone is following your opinion about something, that doesn't mean that they are plagiarising. If things like this are implemented in real life there would be any person that can be called doing plagiarising even tho it's an opinion that they speak out from their mind, because eventually there will be a person that will have the same opinion and a way of thinking just like you.

I couldn't help but feel second-hand embarrassment concerning the American Civil War essay situation; what were the chances that the author of the book was your supervisor?! Though we must cite the resources that we use in our writing, this aspect does contribute a lot to the severity of the plagiarism that occurred. As students, I'd have to admit that if someone requests to copy our work, we'd frequently allow them to do so. Hence, your Sociology essay story is a reminder as to why plagiarism is highly discouraged. Lastly, not-citing the sources of the articles is the epitome of plagiarism.

People tend to have a hard time telling the difference between using a reference and plagiarizing. Plagiarism is the act of copying other’s work without crediting the original source material, like the American war essay and the case of the article. What many people overlook is by simply crediting the original source, your essay won’t be claimed as plagiarism, but rather a reference. Lending out a personal essay is not qualified as plagiarism, but it does support it, as the process expects someone to use other’s work and credit it as their own.

Plagiarizing by definition is taking somebody else’s work or idea and passing it off as your own. In my school we’ve always made a big deal out of plagiarizing as doing so would be an indicator of academic dishonesty. In result, we’d constantly be taught about the importance of utilizing our sources and how to make proper citations. Plagiarism is a very serious matter as it is unethical in so many ways. You use somebody else’s work or idea and claim it as your own without giving credit or full acknowledgement to whom it rightfully belongs to, is not only considered plagiarizing but it can even be considered theft or fraud.

In the first case, I think the problem is you did not give a citation and for your writing, and if you do that kind of thing in UGM it will grant you an F in that subject. In the second case, lending your essay to anyone without considering the possibilities is not wise. It can be considered as you helping them copying the work of someone without a proper rephrase and it can fail that subject. the last one, I think everything you wrote on the blog has been quoted and credited properly, so there will be no problem.

Many of us have been introduced or briefly explained what plagiarism is, but many have not fully realized what it is and how easy it is to do.
ReplyDeleteAdrian had shared some of his experiences with plagiarism. I think it is common for students to do what he did, be it deliberately or accidentally. Sometimes we may forget to cite the resources, misquote them, or even paraphrase a source by using similar words without attribution. We tend to overlook these activities as they have become the norm for us. Hence, we must learn how to cite our resources and be careful when we are doing our research.

Honestly, the three cases of plagiarism you give were all horrible things. But if I have to rank them from the worst, probably the American Civil War, the sociology essay, and then FEB daily blog post. Why? For the first one, because you straight up copy-paste the word and didn't cite them, which was considered the worst sin for college students. For the sociology essay, because you didn't plagiarize any of it, I ranked it number two. The last one, because it is for educational purposes and only seen by students of FEB UGM, it is not a significant problem.
ReplyDeleteYour Version: “For the first one, because you straight up copy-paste the word and didn't cite them, which was considered the worst sin for college students.”
DeleteMy Version: “For the first one, you simply copy-pasted the words and didn't cite the source, and this is considered the worst kind of transgression for college students.”
I believe that the case of the civil war essay plagiarism is the 2nd most serious case out of the three. The writer herself said if she was credited she would be happy with the essay. The worst case of plagiarism is the sociology essay, 8 people copied the entire essay without changing anything. The sheer number alone shows how serious this case of plagiarism is. Placing an article in your blog is the least serious case of plagiarism, the blogger didn’t credit the article as her own they just didn’t share the origin of the article.
ReplyDeleteYour Version: “The sheer number alone shows how serious this case of plagiarism is.”
DeleteMy Version: “Just the sheer number of students involved shows how serious this case of plagiarism is.”
So, for the essay about the American Civil War, I think that we must include the sources of every information that we write. It is a really simple thing but it is meaningful for the actual writer of the essay. And for the sociological education essay is I think that we should be more careful to whom we give it to. Even that it is our dearest friend. If the case is about an article in the blog, I personally think that we must put our sources because the writer put their time and effort to the article and we have to acknowledge it. I think no matter how small the plagiarism, it is still plagiarism.
ReplyDeleteYour Version: “If the case is about an article in the blog, I personally think that we must put our sources because the writer put their time and effort to the article and we have to acknowledge it.”

I want to say that I don’t expect your first encounter with plagiarism is getting caught by the original author. I think you were just being unlucky since the probability is very low. Perhaps you wouldn’t have been got caught for your first plagiarism if you didn’t meet that guest lecture.
ReplyDeleteYour second plagiarism is more relatable than the first one. I admit that I did this form of plagiarism frequently during my high school years. I see that I was a lot like Bill Lawrence as we are “distributor”. Parasite for the original worker, get praised by the other.

DeleteMy Version: “I was a lot like Bill Lawrance; we were “distributors”. We were parasitic with the original writer, but we got praised by the others.”
The first case about American civil war essay where you got caught copying from the supervisor’s own book. This is a serious matter because the writer put a lot of time and effort into the book, and what you did was, you stole the writer’s ideas and work by not putting a citation in it. And if you got away with it and got an “A”, that’s worse because it’s not even your work. Same thing for the case where your friends copied your essay and FEB blog. By not doing plagiarism we’re acknowledging the writer’s work and effort.
ReplyDeleteYour Version: “This is a serious matter because the writer put a lot of time and effort into the book, and what you did was, you stole the writer’s ideas and work by not putting a citation in it.”

Plagiarizing from books in making an essay like the civil war case is not that quite serious for me if there’s a change in some words. However, it can be quite rude if it’s checked by the original author. For the sociology case, personally, it would be pretty serious. Imagine, around twenty peoples having the same essay as you, I think it's awful. As for the daily blog is not much of a problem, although I find many articles didn't have the references, some posts like videos attached a link to the YouTube, so considerably; it's still mentioning the credits.

I believe that the plagiarism cases mentioned are of the same level of seriousness. The difference would lie in the size of the consequence. With the blog, I guess that it may be excused as it is for “personal” educational purposes. Though, I still think that attaching proper citations would be a safer option. In terms of the Civil War paper, with arguments, acknowledgments are crucial because you are referencing someone's train of thoughts, not just a fact. Lastly, although Mr. Coen didn’t copy anyone for the sociology paper, he assisted people in performing plagiarism. To most institutions, that is still a form of major academic misconduct.

DeleteMy Version: “In terms of the Civil War paper, acknowledging arguments is crucial because you are referencing someone's train of thoughts not just facts.”
In my opinion, the civil war essay case and the blog article plagiarism are equally as serious simply because the two come from one issue: not crediting the original author. The slight difference would be that former steals another author’s arguments, while the latter uses someone else’s pieces without credit. As for the second case, I don’t think it is as harmful as the others, especially when you have requested your friend to paraphrase it. However, it is still unethical. Your friend basically used your work as one of their sources and, as mentioned by the American author, it would not be an issue had they paraphrased and gave credits to you.

To begin with, I will always consider plagiarism as a very serious issue, and I'm not only talking about academic plagiarism. In the podcast and in the Whatsapp voice note, three kinds of plagiarism were addressed. Out of the three cases of plagiarism, I can underline the main harm that comes within plagiarism is respect. The first case, Sir Adrian didn't quite respect the author of the little book. On the second case, Sir Adrian was also taken under the bus along other students who had no respect for his work. At the end of the day, the habit of plagiarism could and will produce a generation that lacks work ethic and creativity.
ReplyDeleteYour Version: “Out of the three cases of plagiarism, I can underline the main harm that comes within plagiarism is respect. The first case, Sir Adrian didn't quite respect the author of the little book.”
DeleteMy Version: “From the three cases of plagiarism, I can emphasize that the main harm that plagiarism does is to respect. In the first case, Adrian didn't respect the author of the book.”
The first occurrence was a very serious case of plagiarism because when writing an academic essay, it is important to always cite your sources. Otherwise, it’d be like one was writing off someone else’s ideas and words as their own. The second case of plagiarism wasn’t very serious because you were the one being plagiarised, though the fault lay in the fact that you allowed your friend to copy your essay. The last example is a pretty serious case of plagiarism because all the articles on the blog are consumed by many (students) and the author deserves credit.

DeleteMy Version: “The first occurrence was a very serious case of plagiarism because, when writing an academic essay, it is important to always cite your sources. Otherwise, it is literally passing off someone else’s ideas and words as their own.”
The first one Adrian basically took a paragraph from a book without giving any source. He did change a few words from it but it is enough to be called plagiarism because he did not put credits for the original author. The second one is he lent his work to his friends, lending essay to someone else can also be considered as plagiarism because his friends copied Adrian’s opinion as his own essay. The last one is plagiarism because the articles are being copied to EWS blog without any credits which means claiming somebody else’s writing from the original author.

Dishonesty and lack of integrity has never been or ever will be a good image to put out. That goes for daily lives, let alone being implied to literacy. Direct plagiarism is when an executant uses one’s work for their own credit and benefit, such as Mr. Coen’s American Civil War Essay and a Blogspot without citation. Both having an underlying concern of no crediting, which detriments the original. In the second story, Mr. Coen is the one being taken advantage of. He never gave consent for his work to be plagiarised, therefore he is not the one to blame.

DeleteMy Version: “Dishonesty and lack of integrity has never been nor ever will be a good image to project. That goes for daily lives, let alone when it applies to academia.”
For the first case, surely there is a factor of bad luck for Sir Adrian, but the lesson is that we have to appreciate other people’s ideas by giving them credit. For the second case, it is a matter of trusting the right person, so we won’t get trapped in the same hole. The third case is purely about respecting the authors and the ideas they put in their products. By performing plagiarism like in the first and third case, one could be charged for violating the copyright law in our constitution, so I considered plagiarism as a serious issue.
ReplyDeleteYour Version: “By performing plagiarism like in the first and third case, one could be charged for violating the copyright law in our constitution, so I considered plagiarism as a serious issue.”

In the case of plagiarism without writing the source, I think it is a quite serious case, because we’re reusing a person’s arguments or quotes without asking for permission. Even more concerning is that it is basically a tradition here in Indonesia. I’ve seen quite a lot of cases in my senior high.
ReplyDeleteFor the second case, I think it’s also quite serious. Lending your paper to someone isn’t exactly bad, but if they just blatantly copy it, then we have a right to be upset. If we’re borrowing someone’s paper, use it for inspiration only, and don’t copy it.

Mr. Coen gave us three cases of plagiarism. The first one about him plagiarizing from a book to write a paper about the American civil war. Second, about his peers copying his assignment. Last, about plagiarizing articles post on the ‘FEB Campus Daily Blog’.
ReplyDeleteSince the first two cases would have affected Mr. Coen and his peer’s academic results, if not caught, I would consider it as serious cases of plagiarism, because it counts as deception. On-the-contrary, I wouldn’t call the third case a serious act of plagiarism, since it didn’t benefit Mr. Coen personally, and doesn’t really harm anyone.

The American Civil War essay was the most severe kind. It involved using somebody else’s ideas and words without appropriately acknowledging and crediting the source of the arguments used. The second most severe act of plagiarism was the Sociology essay. Facilitating somebody else to plagiarise means the original writer gave his consent instead of standing up against academic misconduct. Lastly, the least serious one is posting articles on the EWS blog without citations because the blog owner did not claim the works to be his, and numerous news outlets have been doing the same.
ReplyDeleteYour Version doesn’t have anything I can improve upon.
DeleteFrom the podcast, you’ve done two different form of plagiarism. In my opinion, plagiarism always started with procrastinating. On the American civil war assignment, you’ve done the simplest most common thing anybody will do on plagiarizing, which is copy, paste and change the words. It should be fine, if you quote and put the reference. On the social of education essay, you’re then considered as involved, because plagiarism is a two side acts, meaning both lender and receiver are wrong. In the third case, I’ve never seen you not putting any citation. But if you do, then it’s a hypocrisy.

All of these are a very common case of plagiarism. I also realised that it also happened in my previous school. I think we as students have little training on writing our own essays is the problem of why people do plagiarism. Plagiarists keep doing it because there are no strict rules that are going to punish them, and it was proven by you stating that you get another chance without any major punishment. This is a very serious problem that can lead to your last one of copying people's work and posting it online as if you wrote it.

1. The seriousness of the three different cases of plagiarism can be ordered from most severe to least in the following: the sociology essay assignment , the American Civil War plagiarism and the blog. Plagiarism in the case of the sociology essay is the most severe because it didn't only affect one person ,as is the case with the American Civil War, but it affected eight people who all got a failing grade for an assignment. Writing on a blog and not crediting sources can vary in severity in accordance with the size of the audience: the more people given uncredible information the more severe.

If we plagiarize a book, we disrespect the years of hard work and thought of the author on making the book perfectly. Giving people our work for them to copy means that we consciously allowed the copier to do plagiarism, which is unacceptable. The linking of an article is important for both the quoter and the writer. The writer could attract more readers and the quoter will not get accused of plagiarism. Even though it seems trivial, plagiarism is a crime and we can't tolerate it anymore.

ReplyDeletePlagiarism is not a choice for any kind of situation. Copying someone else’s work and ideas are defined as an act of crime. Adrian (in this case) got caught twice for plagiarism. From that story, we can conclude that there are many forms of plagiarism conduct. For instance, copying someone else’s work. The next wrong deed is putting someone’s ideas without giving the owner credits. The last misfortune he experienced is when he shared his work with one of his colleagues. But, as result, 8 out of 25 people in his class copied his essay.

I would say the civil war case is a bit of “crossing the line”, while you didn’t just sort of “oh this one is good, I’ll just rename it as myself”, the 3/4 contents is still much deriven from her book so it is a little severe I’d say. And about the social case is uh… is fatality too much? Cause the whole class literally copy-paste the essay without even changing the format of the writing and it is really messed up.
ReplyDeleteYour Version: “I would say the civil war case is a bit of “crossing the line”, while you didn’t just sort of “oh this one is good, I’ll just rename it as myself”, the 3/4 contents is still much deriven from her book so it is a little severe I’d say.”

I believe that plagiarism should never be accepted in any kinds, especially in writing essays or articles. For the first and last scenario, it is crucial for you to write the citations when any source is used because it is a sign of respect to the writer’s work. For the second one however, I think you were not entirely wrong as it was mainly your friends mistake. They should have only use it as a reference and not copy your entire work. This kind of practices actually still happen and I do think it completely alright if they only use it as a reference.
ReplyDeleteYour Version: “. For the second one however, I think you were not entirely wrong as it was mainly your friends mistake. They should have only use it as a reference and not copy your entire work.”

The first case mentioned is, in my opinion, the worst one. Copying someone else's work and only changing it up a bit doesn’t make any difference. However, you can automatically fix it just by giving credit to the owner. This also correlates with the second case where you got dragged into the problem. Lending your work is alright, but it should only be used as reference. The third case is the least problematic because it is used in a more casual setting. Although, crediting the main source is always the better option as to allow the commenters to read more.

Citation needs to be written if you got the idea from restricted works such as books or journals. Attribution needs to be written when you got your idea from open sources like news sites or your friend’s work. Another thing is acknowledgment. It is like a credit for someone who helped you during the writing of your essay. They could be your teacher, friends, or informant. Out of these three, I think the most important one is citation. I think a citation is a fundamental way to credit the original author. Followed by attribution and acknowledgment for the last one.

ReplyDeleteCopying articles into our own blog without any acknowledgement and citation is the most severe issue. It is as if we are trying to deceive our readers into thinking that someone else’s work is ours. Meanwhile, although The American Civil War plagiarism case involved paraphrasing and altering words, it is still considered as a wrongful act as we are still retaining the original sentence structure and their ideas without giving any credits to the author. Lastly, the Sociology case involves lending your own work for others to copy– which is an act of encouragement for them to commit plagiarism.

In this paragraph, I will analyze three cases of plagiarism. Those three are Mr Coen choosing to plagiarise from one of his professor’s works for one of his modules, letting his friend copy his essay for a sociology class and not crediting the original author when uploading an article. All of these cases are bad. However, amongst those three, the third one is the worst. Mr Coen’s position as an educator implicitly consents his students to plagiarize as compared to the other two cases that still have safety barriers which are the professors.

In my opinion, the most extreme form out of the three would be the moment Adrian copy and paste sentences from a book without giving a credit in his essay as well as posting the article without citation. Anyone should give the credit whenever they are taking someone else’s work or idea. Last but not the least would be lending your answer to someone else. This is not as serious as the first two as your intention was to help your friend. However, it was also Adrian’s fault as he shared his work from the first place.

Plagiarism is indeed a seriously wrong act, not only in the academic environment, but also in the working world. The first case of plagiarism was a serious one, and one that could have easily been avoided if the doer procrastinated less, so it was the doer’s fault. The second case was just about the doer trying to help a friend, and the friend was at fault for just sharing it without asking for permission. In the case of the blog, it is a gravely wrong doing to just “steal” someone else’s work from the internet without giving them credit.

Task 1
ReplyDeleteNot crediting an author for their work in an essay/article is the same as passing the content off as your own (taking Adrian’s civil war essay and the FEB campus blog as examples), and this can get you legally fined/penalized. Giving your work to someone else for them to copy from (like what happened in the case of Adrian’s sociology essay), can get you to fail a course, or worse, you may get suspended/expelled from the university. Aside from the academic sanctions, you will also ruin your reputation among your peers as well as future employers.

Plagiarizing in the context of history is pretty bad, if we plagiarized someone’s writing and someone’s brief research on history it’s pretty much the same as stealing all of their hardwork. Plagiarizing in the context of sociology is worse, because we have to do research that took more than a couple of months, just think that someone stole our research and hardwork just like that. Plagiarizing in the web is pretty serious also, but not as bad as plagiarizing in a history and sociology context, because it’s an informal article for students to read and it’s not a formal paper.

Plagiarism, no matter how it’s done, is still a plagiarism. First case, procrastination is the source of this problem. When you said that history is about reading a lot of books, then it will be very difficult to finish it in a short time. Secondly, giving your work to someone means you have no control over what you’ve done and every possible outcome. Third, it is considered stealing their ideas without permission. In my opinion, everything that I mentioned will eventually lead to plagiarism. There is no difference between case 1 and the others on how serious it will be.

Plagiarism is an unethical action. Doing plagiarism is the same as we don’t appreciate the original creator. If plagiarism is not eradicated, someone else’s original work can be used to benefit the plagiarist also the original creator can be accused if their work is misused. To prevent this act, the work must be checked by an authorized person if is it original or copying from other work. According to the podcast, it seems to me that procrastination can be the cause of Plagiarism so relieving procrastination can help us to avoid the plagiarism act.

The first case is a pretty serious offence; Mr. Adrian violated the anti-plagiarism rules in his university (using another’s work without giving any credit) which disrespects the author of the book as Mr. Adrian presented her ideas as his own. The second case isn’t as serious as the first one as Mr. Adrian didn’t mind that his essay was used as a framework for others’ works. The third case is similar to the first case, though not as big of a deal as the articles are posted on a small platform (private university blog) that is purely for assignments.

Plagiarism is one of the main things students should prevent, even at the University of Gajah Mada, doing plagiarism can cause someone to drop out. As a high school student, I often cheating while doing my homework. At that time, my alibi was because I did not get enough time because I joined a lot of events at school. But in university, I feel like time management is one of the soft skills every student should excel at because time management can lead someone to prepare everything such as studying to avoid plagiarism.

The first case where you pretty much copied your supervising guest lecturer's book was a serious case of disrespect, what are the chances? I cant imagine being in her position, my own writing is taken without credit! The second case isnt particularly your fault, because you just want to help a struggling friend. But overall encouraging to plagiarize is just a bad habit and it backfires at you. The third case, if youve done that then you will indirectly doom the students of FEB to plagiarize. By normalizing that habit, students of FEB will think that its okay to plagiarize.

In my opinion, the most serious case of plagiarism goes to the FEB blog one because I think by Adrian sharing it to students who have put trust and respect in him as a teacher would not only be hypocritical to do, but also offensive to other writers as he is taking credit for their work. Second in seriousness would be plagiarizing from the teacher's book, since, in a sense, Adrian (if he wasn't caught) would only be acclaimed by his teacher rather than hundreds of his students. Third is sharing the original essay, since his friends plagiarized, not him.

Plagiarism has its own magical charm to pull you when doing an allnighter. After hearing the podcast, the first case which copies exactly from the book without acknowledgement it is very serious because you just steal someone’s idea basically and can be thrown out of the university. The second case personally it is also a serious case because you also copying it without even changing it. The final one which you put an article without giving credit to the author the same as case 1 in real life situation it is very dangerous and you can be sued for it.

I can finally conclude that in terms of the worst type of plagiarism would be the first case and copying an article. Copying a piece of information without giving a citation indicates either a person has been copying all along or that information is purely wrong. I think that is why I ranked it the worst. In terms of the second case, I still believe that you had the intention of guiding them through the essay. Even though you knew that there are things that may get copied, you believed that they would change the text a bit to avoid identicality.

The first case has taught us if we put someone's idea into our work, the ethical thing for us to do is to give credit for their work, including if we put it on our blog site as well. Because this is an attitude of honesty that shows we have appreciated and acknowledge the effort of theirs. Besides that, we also need to prevent the act of plagiarism by not freely giving out our work to others. As in the second case, they could easily copy our effort, and therefore, our work's authenticity would be questioned.

For the essay on civil war, the writer didn’t put any reference about where he got the information that he wrote in his essay. This has led to the detection of plagiarism and made him get a bad grade for this essay. On the other hand, on the sociology essay, the writer’s friend plagiarised the writer’s essay without even changing the words and had spread it to other people. This led to eight of them getting bad scores due to plagiarism. In the case where if Mr. Adrian doesn’t put any citation or reference on the blogspot, it could get him in trouble because it is open to the public and plagiarism may be easily detected.

Plagiarism is one bad 'domino' in the education. One factor that affects the growth of plagiarism is the minimum level of literacy and people's mindset on their self-development. The case of Mr Coen's ignorance on plagiarism was the generation's current reflection. It was an emerging issue because plagiarism shows that someone kills their own potential by letting their curiosity go in learning. The second case told me to encourage people to do writings on their own. This practice should be abandoned by the education system itself, starting from the assertive rules of authorship given from the goverment to schools.

. I think that the third case, posting someone else’s work without proper citation or indication of source, is the worst out of the three cases. This is because the plagiariser steals not only someone else’s idea, but also their whole writing. The act of plagiarism here is the same as the second case where there were some people who copied another person’s work and they turned in the plagiarised work. This means that they turn in a work they claim as theirs. These two situations are similar to the first case, except some changes were being made to the text on the first case. Hence, the first case is “lighter” because only the idea was stolen.

There are 2 main issues of plagiarism in both essay of american civil war and sociology of education. The first one is paraphrasing, you cannot just change a few words of someone else’s work and submit it as your own without giving your own take on the topic, and the second one is not giving credits/citation to the person that has the original idea. For blogs, you need to give credits and not just paraphrase.

Plagiarism is a very bad deed. Like what you did when you make an essay of American civil war and in your fourth-year essay. What you did is absolutely wrong because when you want to take other people idea you have to give credit, its not enough just to change the word. When you lend your essay to other people you have to consider that there is a possibility that your friend will copy it. When we write an essay and we have to take other people’s idea, it is very important to give a citation and credit.

Plagiarism in the context of history is unethical because the copying of another person’s ideas or words, without acknowledgment is wrong. Plagiarizing in the context of sociology of education is also as unethical as the historical plagiarism. Imagine taking credit for copying someone’s writing that actually worked hard to make the paper and claim that the paper. I think that is a really unethical thing to do. Plagiarism practice from the web is also an unethical thing to do. However, in this case, the writings is just for the student to read and learn about the English writing skills, so it is no problem.

When we are talking about history, which is not a purely intellectual subject, plagiarism is bound to occur. In such instances, we must always credit the author we are referring to in order to prevent plagiarism. I don’t think this type of plagiarism is that severe. By giving our work to our friends and trusting them. We are providing the means for them to plagiarize. This type of plagiarism is moderately severe. When we take another person’s work and claim it as our own to gain the credit and benefits for ourselves. This is the most egregious type of plagiarism.

In your FEB Campus Daily Blog case, I certainly think it is a form of plagiarism since you posted the articles with no attributions, citations, and acknowledgments. But, the thing is that no one credited you as the owner of the blog for those articles. It perhaps could be an argument that justified your act of posting articles without any attributes. However, we can't deny that plagiarism is a serious case because it can damage your reputation academically and professionally. It is scary since you can unintendedly plagiarize someone else's work, and the line in determining plagiarism is pretty vague for me. So, in my opinion, you should put the link to the original articles in your blog.

For the first case, since you copied a few paragraphs from an academic book for your essay, this to me can easily be considered as the most serious out of the three cases. Next would be the copying of articles for our FEB Campus Blog since no credits are given to the author. In my opinion, the last case, which is when you gave a copy of your essay, is the least serious case of plagiarism out of the three. Since you warned your friend to paraphrase the contents of the essay, the blame isn’t all on you.

I find the plagiarism case of the ‘sociology education’ essay is the most serious because so many of Mr. Adrian’s peers copied his paper word-for-word and claimed the work as their own. The hypothetical case (links to posted articles on the blog aren’t included) is similar in magnitude because in both situations, ideas, opinions, and arguments are copied word-for-word without citation but, because the work is only copied once rather than multiple times, it’s not as bad. The least concerning case is the American Civil War essay as the original work isn’t copied word-for-word, but still, a citation isn’t included.
ReplyDeleteYour version is well written; I can’t find anything to nitpick.
DeleteFor the first case, I don’t think other book writers would be as lenient as her, so most people would get into trouble if they have ever plagiarized and get caught like that. As for lending a friend our essay, I think it is better if we teach them how to do their own essay instead of just lending them our essay that will only be plagiarized and claimed. If there were any plagiarism case in the blog, it will be problematic because the FEB blog will have risk of shutting down if it was caught by the original writer.

The plagiarism on the American Civil War essay terrible. He did not fully copy everything but carefully took paragraphs and changed the words a little bit. His mistake was not citing the book he got it from, which is punishable. The sociology essay plagiarism was not that bad. It was passed on to different people. He did not plagiarize, but he indirectly helped others to plagiarize. If he did not cite the article on the blog, I don't think it is that bad, as the article would help us learn, but he would have been a hypocrite for that.

1. From the 2 beginning cases, I believe that those 2 cases are still consider fully considered as plagiarism because their answers were all not authentic. The first case was obviously plagiarised as the student plagiarised the lecturers book. The second case is also a really case of plagiarism as the answers were not authenthic and just followed other students answers. For the third one, if the texts were not identified as another’s work, then it is a very serious case of plagiarism as it basically rip offs the original authors work.

ReplyDeleteCopying the information out of the book without citation is the worst, especially if it is done for academic purposes, whose academic goals also aim at humanity. this is because we claim the findings and thoughts of people on. For lending the essay, I can say it is wrong actually, unless it is paraphrased with some adjustments to every point of view. For the blog, although credits/citations are not being mentioned in the blog. It is more tolerable because many blogs these days are just for entertainment purposes.

For the first case, I think that this case is serious although it isn’t as serious as the second case. I can’t even imagine myself being caught red handed by the writer of the book that is being plagiarized. That must be super embarrassing and makes you feel really guilty. For the second case, I think that if someone wants to borrow your writing, you have to be sure that the guy only uses it for reference and not going to copy the whole writing. For the third case, I don’t think I ever see you not post the original link of the post.

I believe that the first one is an example of mosaic plagiarism. It occurs when you try to use synonyms for the words of the original while keeping the same general idea which is an academic dishonesty punishable by the institution. The second one shows plagiarism in a direct form and in this situation is a form of theft in a sense that it steals other people's ideas and claims that they are your own. The third one can be considered as a direct or accidental plagiarism. It depends, whether you are intentional or accidental on forgetting to cite sources.

For the first and third scenario, I feel like it is vital for you to write the citations that you used since those words are written by someone else. Using another people's ideas is considered stealing and it also mean that you are not giving the credit that the person deserved. For the second scenario, I think you should just be careful next time and not let anyone copy your work that u put a lot of effort to.

Excluding citation is the most serious plagiarism. Citation is used to refer to a work with all rights reserve copyright that was mentioned in the paper. This mean the owner’s permission is needed to be able to use the work. The second most serious plagiarism is excluding attribution. Attribution is used to refer to an open-copyright license. This means people are allowed to use the work but have to make a proper attribution to the author. The third most serious plagiarism is excluding acknowledgement. Acknowledgement is giving credit to people who were involved in the making of the work.

The case about no citation or credit on essay can be more fatal if one thought the essay was good and publish it somewhere the public is able to read. Posting an article on the blog without any citation is also a serious case since the original writer can be furious if they are discredited and simply because it's not ethical to do so. Maybe, a lot of students have experienced copying friends' work. That should be taken seriously too because that's a habit they gonna bring to the work field later. Hence, the lecturer shouldn't let that happen.

Plagiarism is an act of someone copying ideas or arguments from someone else without giving any credit. Plagiarism could be happened because of the bad habit of someone. Based on the podcast, plagiarism could happen if someone has a lack of self-discipline, for example, procrastinating any assignment. If we want to copy any idea, do not forget to give a citation or credit. Plagiarism is an act that we need to prevent by not being a part of it. Although we did not plagiarize ideas, giving ideas to be plagiarized by someone else, meaning that we are participating in plagiarism.

Plagiarism is one of the main problems in education, hence why there are new technologies that could be used as a plagiarism checker. In the first case, giving credit to someone’s words or citing them is allowed and is very common in academic writing. It’s unethical to take credit for something you didn’t write. The second case is more serious because these people who completely plagiarized your work gave consequences even to you, the original writer, who didn’t do it. The third case would also be a serious problem, especially because there are no ‘supervisors’ that could report the wrongful act of plagiarism on the internet.

Plagiarism is a new thing for me. I used to ignore and didn't care about it. In high school, students can copy each other works very similarly and don't get plagiarism from the teacher. I just learned that plagiarism is a big issue while I'm in university. We must make our essay with originality and put references. Writing an essay is difficult especially if our brain doesn't come up with any ideas. I hate writing a history essay, it requires us to read a bunch of references. Are you on good terms with the person who spread your essay, Sir?

It is important to note that giving credit or acknowledging the original creator of an idea or writing is very crucial in academic writing as using it serves as an intellectual debt. It is very serious when plagiarizing published work or articles as it may lead to expulsion, legal action, as well as fines and penalties. Even though plagiarizing another friend’s work is not as serious, it can still cause you to fail courses or even get expelled depending on the lecturer and the rules of the university. Giving the original source is always important even when posting on blogs.
ReplyDeleteYour version gives me no grammar or word use I can nitpick!
DeleteIn my opinion all types of plagiarism is bad, but for the seriousness, I would say the case where an article is put on the blog then not credited is the most serious. I think this way because in a blog it is for the general public to see and with interaction about the topic in the blog comments to occur, as for plagiarism in academic tasks it is still bad but not as serious because its more for your professors and other students to read as most likely it won't be published

The first case (war essay), it is reckoned plagiarism, yet I think the case isn’t as severe as the other two. This is due to the fact that the words were altered, yet the credit wasn’t granted and it claimed other’s ideas without acknowledgement. For the second case (sociology essay), it can be deemed as a consequential case of plagiarism because parts of the essay were totally unchanged, uncredited, and it was passed on to other students. Lastly, in the case of the blog, I think it is considered as an extremely serious case of plagiarism and ethical issue that may lead to severe consequences since the articles were directly copy pasted without providing any source or credibility.

Plagiarism has been one of the biggest issues in a lot of aspects, but with the least concern from most people who subconsciously do it all the time. Although it looks simple, the smallest form of plagiarism could affect other people more than we can ever imagine. Not only does it violate the people that got plagiarized, but also does it disserve the people who do it. It does make our work easier and might be beneficial for a while. But later on, we will be struggling in so many ways by getting used to not having our original ideas.
ReplyDeleteThis piece of writing is certainly about plagiarism but it is not an answer to my question.

1. American Civil War
ReplyDelete This is a funny story and a very bad example for students to follow. We need to give the author of the information a thank you because we use his/her book, information, etc. As a form of a thank you, we need to give credit to the author.
2. Sociology of Education
Giving your work to someone means you’ll have no control over you’ve done and every possible outcome. Your friend doesn’t care about your work, they only want to get themself on the safe spot by trying to copy your work. Sometimes it's best to be stingy.
3. No Credit Given by Mr. Adrian When He Posted Some Article on The Blog
This kind of plagiarism is very common. We usually find this type of plagiarism in some news articles. Now about the “no credit is given” type of plagiarism. I think if this plagiarism happens in Mr. Adrian’s blog, only a few people will realize the plagiarism in some of the articles, which means, this type of plagiarism is dependent on how the member of the blog will see it. There are 2 probability, one, they will see it as the creativity of writing from Mr. Adrian, two, a small number of people will realize about the act of plagiarism because they try to find the real source. So, I think it’s not as bad as the first topic.

We should not condone plagiarism by any means, even if we’re the ones who handed out our work to other people since we’re still a participant of the deceitful act, such as Sir Coen’s second case. To avoid plagiarism, we need to define the attributes of our essay, which helps us to explain our ideas and break it down into several aspects. Next, a citation is very crucial to give proper credits to the author and strengthen the legitimacy of our viewpoint. Last, acknowledging our sources can also be beneficial since it shows that we’re credible.

In the first plagiarism, Adrian copied a paragraph from a book and turned it into his own essay. Copying is wrong because education is not about memorizing facts, but it’s about solving problems. For the second plagiarism, Adrian handed out his work to his friends. Handing out a work of yours to others is an unethical thing to do because in that way, you’re disrespecting the others that had actually studied. And the last one is not crediting a source, which is wrong because you’re discrediting somebody else’s work and claim it as your own. In other words, it’s theft.

The American civil war and the blog post case is basically the same case, which is copying one’s work without giving the credit for it. The only difference is that for the blog case, it will only be seen by students and is not graded, while the American civil war paper is graded. The sociology of education case however, this particular case is in the grey area of plagiarism. When you create a paper with a little bit of inspiration from a friend and with his/her consent, it is kind of legal, but if you copy it straight out, then it’s plagiarism.

The first case was just blatant plagiarism because the writer used other people's published writing and made it his own without giving citations and credits. The second case was also bad but this one coulndt get you in jail because it's just a writing of your friends' work and wasn't patented yet meanwhile the first one could get you in jail because it is a book and it's protected under the law. The third one is also as bad one as the first one because if the blog didn't cite and give credit it's a violation of the law as well. Using others' work and sharing it to the public is illegal.

I understand what is the real meaning of plagiarism actually when I was in my senior high school. I was accidentally using that bad kind of solution in some of my school tasks. Fortunately, I can see the reason behind the prohibition of plagiarism in my own experience. I thought that plagiarism is not only about copy and paste, but it's worth more to the individual character. The value of that prohibition is to teach us the value of honoring others' masterpieces, being honest, upholding integrity, and etc. So, as an educated person, plagiarism is a disgraceful thing for us.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting confession about your own plagiarism but it is not an answer to my question.

For the first case, Mr. Adrian only replaced a few words of some pages of the book and did not change the general structure and still have the same meaning. From what I know it's called "patch writing" and yes, it's still called plagiarism even if there's a source footnote to it. The second one, this is a complete plagiarism where Mr. Adrian classmates directly copy the essay and claiming that it's her or his own work. I think this is the most severe case and the easiest to detect. The last one, uploading someone's article without crediting the source but not claiming that it is his own writing is still considered plagiarism. This is the example where there are still many people who do it and usually they don't do it on purpose.

Plagiarism, regardless of its form, is an act that can’t be justified. Concerning the first plagiarism in the case of the American Civil War essay, for me, it is not as serious as the second case. History is something that happened in the past and it will never change. Therefore, if our essay ideas are almost the same one another, it is normal. It is just called unethical when people have the same sentence patterns and words. The next case is when we use resources in our writing, whether it is an essay or a blog post, we must give the author attribution or citation. If we don’t, it means stealing other’s ideas while we know looking for ideas is not something easy as pie. We must start to respect others and stop doing plagiarism.

DeleteMy Version: “History is something that happened in the past but that does not mean perspectives will never change. Therefore, if our essay’d ideas are almost the same as someone else’s, it may be ‘normal’ but it is still plagiarism.”
I guess we just disagree over this one! Ha ha.
Although the teacher said that giving credit to a copied essay was all it takes in order to avoid the punishment, I still think that the copied work is still considered plagiarism and it is unfair to the other students who have put their best effort and time to do the essay. The idea of copying another essay is considered plagiarism. However, i think that Mr. Adrian shouldn't be punished as it is not his mistake and it would be rude towards his friend if he didn't want to help him. We can look at two sides, me (as a student) and the writer of the articles. For the writer, I think that he/she would demand Mr. Adrian to give the credit for his/her work to the articles. On the other hand, I wouldn’t really care about it as it is not something that I should think about.

For the first and second case If you use someone’s article and didn’t put any credit, it will be considered as plagiarism. Even if you only use a little bit of their idea, in making a journal or essay you still have to put the credit. it’s a serious case of plagiarism in my opinion because in your blog sometimes you don’t change any of the words. You also remind us not to plagiarize that's why you shouldn't do it too. I think putting credit wont harm you much. For the last case, I don’t think it’s your fault because you already asked them to change the words
ReplyDeleteYour Version: “Even if you only use a little bit of their idea, in making a journal or essay you still have to put the credit.”

Just to be clear – ha ha – I DO acknowledge my sources on the blog!
Plagiarism is an act of stealing and underappreciating one’s idea. I view that the most severe plagiarism is when you copy someone's work and post it without referencing the writer. Though I also think that sharing your essay for others to replicate is also unacceptable. In my opinion, writing is an expression of thoughts and feelings that are personal. Treating it merely as an object without giving any regard towards the process the writer endures is disrespectful. If someone got caught with plagiarism, a confession is appreciated. Though not sinning plagiarism is preferred.

After weighing those three acts, in my opinion, the most severe act of plagiarism was the first one, which was the American Civil War essay. The paragraphs were too similar to the point where the author herself noticed, plus there were no citations whatsoever. To make it worse, it was for academic writing. The second one would be the blog case since it was blatantly taking someone else’s work without giving them any credit. Lastly, I think that the sociology of education essay was the least severe one because there was no prior intention of plagiarising.

My mother thought me different kind of violation in journalistic ethics and for the first case it's the kind of mosaic plagiarism where it borrows phrases from a source without quoting it, this kind of plaigrism (whether it intentional or not) is a dishonest action even if you stated the source of it.
ReplyDeleteThe second case is a mix of mosaic and direct plaigrism (for your friends) because it's word to word copy and not giving the resources. Third one is an obvious of accidental plaigrism where perhaps you forgot to put onto the source of the article

AMERICAN CIVIL WAR :
ReplyDeleteI think almost everyone do that kind of thing. But unfortunately, you’re a little bit unlucky this time. And credit was really important, even in writing a thesis you need to make a references for every single article you’ve read.
LENDING ESSAY :
It’s still okay to lend your work to somebody else as long as they change the words and everything just like the first person that asked you. So as long as you’re not being those six other person, you’ll be safe.
FEB BLOG :
Now this is the worst so far. It was someone else’s work and you cannot do that no matter what. Give credits please.

Reading all of your articles and podcasts, I think when you talking about topics that are already been discussed by other people you always give them credit. So far articles that I read and podcast that I listened to containing things that are mostly originals. Even when you wrote in your article about music that you like, you and your peers nostalgic moment with Bowie and Game of Thrones, in some way you commented and suggest it to us in your own opinion. So I think there is no room for plagiarism there because you wrote what is on your mind.
