What is Plagarism?

Plagarism; the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.

Why do we do it? Well I guess there are a lot of reasons why we do it. One I think is because People think if they steal someone else's work from an author who isn't popular, I think they might get recognizaed for it. And maybe they just like it. And because somethimes its just easier.

Why won't Ms. S accept it? Because You need to do the things yourself. It isn't right to the author when you just steal work from other author.

Well I looked up Smith College.

Their college has a Plagarism test, and the school encorages you to desing a special symbols and develop methods so no one can plagarize your work.

It also encorages you to report Plagarism in the school paper.
