“A bit of plagiarism history”
From an early age, students are taught the importance of the originality of their work. Think back to elementary school, student eagerly working on their big science project, The Volcano. Your teacher provides a rubric requiring a one-page report. Do you remember the one important rule they emphasized? Let me remind you: do not copy word for word from a book or the internet. Instead, use your own words.
