Plagiarism? Never!

While the Internet is undoubtedly a powerful educational tool, some students use it for more nefarious reasons. The Internet is great for searching essay topics, but some students take it further and actually look up essays. Other students might find an excellent source, but improperly, or don't, cite said source. Teaching students the correct ways to use, cite, and quote sources is imortant. Also, as every student knows, turnitin.com is available to discover those students who have plagiarized, whether by choice or unknowingly.
