Plagiarism


Plagiarism is certainly a crime. And it's scary how there's softwares to detect plagiarism.

I recently submitted an essay and there's only 2% plagiarism. It's due to the 17 words that we quoted from a letter we obtained from the web. We did submit the letter along with the essay but scary how the report included the website from which we got that letter from.

So guys, they aint kidding when they say they've got the program to track plagiarism. And copying from your friends is definitely more dangerous as prior to submission of the softcopy online, I was prompted that my group essay too will be stored in a database for protection.

Keywords here are: summarize, reword, restructure...
