Here, you’ll find a definition of plagiarism and will learn how it differs from copyright infringement. This resource intends to help college students and potential college students understand what plagiarism is and how to prevent it. Understanding plagiarism and proper citations is therefore as relevant for those still in high school as those pursuing a bachelor’s degree, or even students earning advanced degrees. Preventing plagiarism isn’t just about ethics and fairness - it’s about helping students get the most out of education. Not only does it hurt students who face the consequences of plagiarism, it also hurts professors who have to spend valuable time detecting instances of plagiarization.
Plagiarism is a problem for colleges across America.
