say “no” to plagiarism
a crucial skill students must develop at college is the ability to conduct independent research. having accumulated fundamental knowledge, students should develop themselves into thinking and inquiring individuals capable of forming their own judgment and expressing their original insights, both in term papers and graduation theses.
unfortunately, with massive information readily available on the internet, irresponsible students find it so convenient to copy, partially or even completely, the research performed by others. without declaring due acknowledgements, they pretend the research is by their own efforts and they secretly congratulate themselves on the good grades they obtain. worst of all, they seldom have a guilty conscience because such plagiarism is so pervasive.
however, the consequences are more serious than those plagiarists could imagine. for one thing, their personal credibility is ruined. college years are the most formative period in a student’s life and deception could be a serious s tain on one’s moral integrity. for another thing, without effective research experiences, one is unlikely to acquire depth of analyses or originality of insights, both of which are indispensible to one’s career development, whether in
corporate, government or academic organizations. ultimately, the plagiarists themselves are to suffer.
to eradicate plagiarism, several measures could be adopted. students need to heighten their moral standards by realizing that plagiarism is not just an academic issue but a critical moral issue. teachers need to be more vigilant in detecting and combating plagiarism. finally, university authorities need to tighten disciplinary codes to leave no plagiarists unpunished. in this way, universities can produce graduates who can be paragons of credibility, capable of playing a leading role in the credibility reconstruction of the entire nation.
