With the ease of doing research on the net, I think many students are committing this deadly plagiarism thing. With the copy and paste attitude, makes lot of this young ones subjected themselves to plagiarism. How about you,have you done the same thing?

I believe that I'm partially guilty of that practice. Of course, the internet is an immense instrument to do research specially on a topics that cannot be easily found on other resources. While I did the copy and paste thing, I would never pass it is ( I have a feeling that my teacher is going to check if I have done the deed) so I try to have gather information from other references that will help to make the topic more understandable than just a simple fact sheet. I try to put some of my personal touches as possible to make it a genuine research as it should be.

I have never plagiarized anything on the internet and would hope others do not as well. I am not naive and understand some do it wrongfully and wonder why they can't simply utilized their own brains to come up with their original work. It would be best to fail trying hard as opposed to perhaps one day being caught shamefully.
