Plagiarism, or simply, Ctrl+V-Ctrl+C

I do it all the time, w/o Google, Wikipedia and HowStuffWorks, I would have to work my ass off reading books and getting info.

But now, just Ctrl+V-Ctrl+C, remove the hyperlinks, replace hard words with their synonyms, hand it in, get fair results

Who doesn't do it?!

Hahaha, I do it, but I don't just copy and paste it then hand it in. I replace a lot of the words to make it easier x] then i re-phrase some sentences to make it look like i wrote it and yea.. haha.. x] I feel so guilty haha

Very serious offence. Was called for university hearing earlier this year for this. But luckily I didn't copy so my case was dismissed!

University it's sorta different, much more strict.

Here in secondary, the oldies dunno even how to launch IE, and u'll think they'll check lol.

but in university.. they will say n tends to scare students off.. the lecturers told us.. they have a software to scan ur assignments to check for plagiarism.. but i dont think they really have it...

n something funny happen for my last assignment.. i copied from a girl.. n a guy copied from me.. word by word for the whole conclusion paragraph.. as we were all lazy as we have come to the conclusion part...so we just copy n paste..at the end.. the lecturer told us.. someone did plagiarize.. whoever is it.. please confess b4 she failed us.. so almost whole class confess..lol.. actually its directing to us.. as we were copying words by words.. but luckily.. she forgives us n she said.. we have to be smarter the next time.. at least change some words like others....n as our assignments r sending over to uk for moderation..she told us to pray hard that the moderators r blind..if not we will definitely fail..n at the end it was proven tat.. the moderators r really blind.. n plagiarism isnt really a big deal if u r smart at it..

All our teachers are oldies, they can't even spot out spelling or grammar mistakes.

And there is a plagiarism sorta tool online, but it's actually Google based
