Plagiarism 101

1. We give number one a 2, and it most likely has a high potential to become plagiarism because if one is running behind and doesnt get done the potential is there to copy the others paper. We dont beleive it is justfiable because they chose the same topic as each other, they were not asssigned the same topic. In this instance it does because there essays were due at the same time for the same class and people are encouraged to study together in groups.

2. We give number two a 1, although it has high potential to become plagiarism because if he takes any lines used in the speech and uses them in the paper or vice versa it will be plagiarism. We believe it is fair because he has a heavy workload so he is using the same topic for two different assignments.

3. We give number 3 a 0 but it has very high potential for being plagiarism, the person could very well take the work already used and use it themself. We beleive its also fair because there is no reason you cant just look at someone else is work you do that everyday reading a textbook.
The university contributes to this by having an open forum online class.

4. We give number 4 a 4 also has a high potential for being plagiarism obviously, But not justifiable the person took anothers work and used it for there own work. University contributes by having open forum online class.

5. We give number 5 a 0, not plagiarism its copyright infringement.
