Risk

I'd like to do a posting on a very hot subject called plagiarism. Dictionary.com defines it as:

1. A piece of writing that has been copied from someone else and is presented as being your own work
2. taking someone's words or ideas as if they were your own

I am sure you know what it means. Students have been warned time and time again to not plagiarise but guess what happens?

Often students don't spend too much time thinking about it. Think they'll never get caught. Guess what? They do. Don't risk your grades, your reputation, your face and your dignity. Trust me, you will get caught sooner or later. The web makes it so easy for students to plagiarise but what you may not realise is that it also make sit extremely easy for lecturers to detect plagiarism. You do the crime, you pay the time.

Yup students do get caught. You just don't hear about it unless you're the culprit.

This is probably my first ever 'serious' post.
