When I take materials from the textbook to answer my HW questions, it is considered plagiarism?

Ok, let's talk about getting around plagiarism when you're in college.  \n\nFirst of all the verbatim thing works against you so cut'n'paste is not a good option.  You, of course, are allowed and even expected to form your own opinions about what you've read and your opinions are not copyrighted by the originator.  Now express your opinions in your "own words" some of which you've just learned from the material you just read.  \n\nLearn to type really fast so that you are not tempted to use others' words in your HW.  There are plenty of your own words around so that you never have to plagiarize anything.  You can always learn the MLS or APA methods of quickly and efficiently referencing your material in case a direct quote is necessary to convey even your own idea;  sometimes it's just the best words.\n\nI am not a professor nor anyone involved in the education system at this time.

Sure. Here's the assertion...\n\nStudents who use Yahoo Answers for school work are cheating.\n\n...and it's WRITE, not wright.

At my university (and I would imagine at most others), it is definitely considered cheating, and sanctions for doing it range from a reprimand to losing credit or being removed from the university.\n\nSpecific quote: "Multiple submission - submitting the same paper or oral report for credit in two courses without the instructor's permission; making minor revisions in a paper or report for which credit has already been received and submitting it again as a new piece of work." \n\nIf you're just reusing old material, you're not actually learning anything from the course, are you? (That'd be the general you, not a specific you!) It's often in the process of writing an essay that I figure things out and finally "get" them :)\n\nEdit: just noticed that someone else gave the same site - I wasn't expecting another answerer from my university!

don't do it. that IS plagiarism. it is a serious thing. this guy i know used to go to my college. he was smart, well loved and respected. he was a very important person in our community. he was accused of plagiarism and kicked out without a hearing. if you are not a good writer you should take this opportunity to practice so you don't get screwed later on.

Hahaha.  Well, clearly you didn't learn much about plagiarism when you were in college.  I guess you just didn't get caught.  Of course, if you do rewrite everything, anyone will tell you that getting caught it very uncommon.\n\nThere's a fine line here.  If you're just re-writing or re-phrasing the whole article paragraph by paragraph, you've effectively copied it, and while it might be difficult to prove, you HAVE plagiarized the article.  On the other hand, article concepts are not really something that anyone has ownership over.  Imagine if they did.  Once I wrote about something, no one else could ever write about that topic again...what a world that would be!\n\nSo, basically, if you're just rewriting articles directly, yeah, that would be a problem.  On the other hand, if you're doing original writing, and just getting ideas from other places, I don't think that's particularly restricted.  How do you draw the line between those two?  Ah, that's where it gets tricky.

They are really quality answers. Very well written, to the point and informative. However, just some things you might want to keep in mind... answers like the hypothesis one or red pony were i think answered in a way best suited to Yahoo Answers. But for example you included one of your papers along with the professor's name, course number, etc. etc.... i would not want to include an entire paper of mine in which i had put in so much time and effort, on a site like this. other's might plagiarize even without meaning to do so, and it is best to give them pointers or general comments rather than sharing your entire work. But that's just my opinion, you may feel comfortable sharing it. If I were you, i would keep some of my really good ideas to myself rather than divulging everything... because in the world of academics, original ideas count.

It's according to how detaied it is, and what it is for. Check these sites out;\nwww.non-plagiarized-termpapers.com\nwww.studentstermpaper.com\nhttp://www.a-termpapers.org/\nwww.papersinn.com\nwww.businesstermpapers.com\nwww.creative-termpapers.com\nwww.007termpapers.com\nwww.termpapershortcut.com\nMany students going for medical degrees or attorney degrees could not have survived college with out term paper help.(especially lawyers who are the most challenged in getting an education.) \nI would make an honest guess that about 1 dollar a page.\nIf it's something you can copy and sell to several students, But if it's something you have to detail, gather information on, research, prove, work out  formula's, and above all guarantee it not to be  plagiarized you will invest a lot of time in it.\nIf the papers is just correcting spelling and correct typing(using their work ) than about 1 to 2 a page is OK.  most student sin high school will not be able to pay much.\nI can remember getting a c on a paper because it had to be typed in high school and we only had one typing class and I wasn't in it. Some students paid high to have papers typed, but most liked me took the bad grade.  The teacher in all reality, and  honesty should have been fired for that decision knowing very few students would be able to get them type written. \nHere we now have libraries which have computers you can get help with in term papers.

I'd say try a Limewire search for documents with the subject of the report you're looking for.  While reports written by other people don't fall under copyright violation, they do count as academic dishonesty if you try to pass it off as your own work.

I agree that the whole category of Education & Reference is being misused by many students. You can easily tell that the question is directly from their homework (they even include the question number!). I'm happy to help them get started with some questions, but will not do all the work for them. I also refuse to answer if they ask multiple questions--either in the same question, or several different questions. And I do worry about the future of the next generation since obviously so many of them aren't reading their assignments before trying to finish the homework. In my day, asking someone to do your homework for you was considered cheating--a serious offense that got you a failing grade in the class.

Write one. :)\n\nAre you looking for specific information, or just looking for one to plagiarize?

Call local public library, ask for research, and an experienced researcher will point you to the appropriate references to complete your assignment.  This approach will also enable you to site the origins of the content of your paper (a practice known as footnoting references).  ie. When you write your assignment paper, at the end, give credit to the sources you used to discuss the book!  Do not claim to have read the book and 'float' the pretext that the summary conclusions are your own.  That would be plegiarism, which carries severe repercussions academically.

Come on! You are supposed to write your own work for your college education, not plagiarize from some poor fool who answers your question on Yahoo.\n\nThis is such an easy essay with very little research requirement. Get out your books, get online and get on it, lazy.

Questions w/ textbook length answers are DUMB!

Ask your professor before you buy anything. They may assign specific homework problems that aren't in the edition you plan to use.

Sure, plagiarism can be punished accordingly. But whether it will be noticed depends on the level of company you work with. To be honest, last year I had real troubles with my studies. I had several serious assignments to be done at the same time, along with my term paper. The only way out was to use some essay writing service. The first link I found was http://www.bestessays.com and it worked, to say the least! My professor, who is really a serious teacher didn’t even notice the work was not mine. I got high score and now I’m almost BA. That was a real term paper, not a regular essay, which is much easier to deal for professionals.

How do you expect to learn anything if you don't do your own work?  Many websites are great for doing research, but you could get hit with plagiarism since there are programs that are now available to help faculty determine who is cheating and who isn't.  Really - is this how you plan on going through life - letting others do all your work for you?
