Have a look at these questions and answer them best as best as you can:
- Why should we bother citing our sources? Wouldn’t it be better not to distract readers by tons of quotation marks and brackets in your text?
- Have you ever heard of Plagiarism? What does that word mean?
- How do people from Academia treat the idea of plagiarism in your home country?
- Do you think it is all right to pretend that you have come up with millions of interesting ideas which in fact do not belong to you?
- How would you feel if somebody “stole” your ideas from you?
- What is unintentional plagiarism?
- Have you ever heard of self-plagiarism?
No matter how people and law treat the notion of
plagiarism in students’ home country, they have to remember that plagiarism in
the United States is ALWAYS severely punished.

punished, different educational institution use different Plagiarism policy. As
