Plagiarism is common these days, in the universities and schools. Students do not the definition of plagiarism and they plagiarize unintentionally without knowing the result. Students, these days, procrastinate for their work, which forced them to use the outside resources such as Internet. From this class, I have learned lot about plagiarism and I feel like that I can give a lecture on the plagiarism to the students. Moreover, we experienced the cases of Haley, Marita and Jamal about how they plagiarize and what kind of punishment will be appropriate for all these three cases. In my life, I have seen one student who caught under plagiarism for copying the whole project from one of her friend. It was confidential, so I do not know what kind of punishment she faced or been excused.

Our second writing is problem essay analysis, which is very interesting. In this problem, we have to write two issues and a thesis statement following the main idea of the essay. You have write two issues about the plagiarism through the cases of Haley, Marita and Jamal. The only problem that I faced so far is the flow of the essay because I have everything that requires in the essay but unable to put in the right flow. I believe that it will be okay if I practiced more.

There are several reasons for the plagiarism and it is easy to plagiarize if you are lagging in knowledge. Therefore, in my opinion, the most important issue in regard to the plagiarism will be the student's knowledge. For example, Marita does not have the knowledge of her paper, which forced her to plagiarize. Therefore, universities and school should conduct some programs on the plagiarism for successful life of students in the academic studies.
