Student Plagiarism. Do you think USP should subscribe to a service like Turnitin.com and require all students to submit papers through this service rather than directly to the instructor? Plagiarism is the process of submitting the information originally developed by someone else as ones own. This issue has been argued about for hundreds of years starting with the artists who would redraw the works of the famous artists and present is as their own, and ending with the boys reading some verse by heart claiming it as his own to impress a girl and seduce her into sexual favors. The modern day universities face the same problem with the academic integrity, that proves to be not only deleterious for ones academic success and ascension but also for the reputation of the given university that is determined by the knowledge of its graduates and demand for them on the job market. I believe that the universities should certainly not engage in the services like Turnitin.com, plagiserve.com, edutie.com or any other service that claims to provide a reliable assurance that the paper is not plagiarized from the internet or from the previous year students. There are several arguments for the given opinion listed below: 1) Ethical. This is the most powerful argument against the use of anti-plagiarism technology at the universities or schools.
If a professor uses the given subscription service, he assumes that certainly someone in a given class is cheating while trying to get a better grade. In other words this argument allows the people to abandon the Presumption of innocence concept of law that is universally used in the USA and abroad. The new presumption of guilt is going to be instituted in the class. If this principle is followed everywhere, then, the US democratic system would fail to exist whatsoever. In courts, any person would have to prove that they are innocent, rather than for the prosecutor to find his guilt. In businesses, the whole concept of contract will not exist, for the fact that contract stipulates trust between the parties, and while the two parties do not trust each other, they cannot use each others checks, credit cards or other business instruments.
The Research paper on Effects Of Advertisement On Consumer Behavior Of University Students
ABSTRACT The present study was conducted to find out the effects of advertisement on consumer behavior of university students (N = 150). A self-explanatory questionnaire was used to measure the effects of advertisement. The sample was comprised of university students (University of Sargodha). Their age (18 – 24) was constant. Six brands were decided to be used as FMCG’s unit and inquiries were ...
The election concept would not work because based on this principle one would initially assume that the election process is fabricated in the first place, unless otherwise proved. The anarchy would reign in the country that claims to be democratic. 2) Statistical. From the Statistical point of view and the best of my knowledge, only a fraction of students plagiarizes in universities. This ratio I believe somewhat higher in high schools that are mandatory and therefore cause the students to abide by the rules and search for somebody elses papers. Colleges and universities are voluntary and the person who attends it knows that no one on the job market would pay them for good grades that were earned with plagiarized papers.
These people do not just want to get a grade or approval in the universities as it might be the case when a person gets the actual assignment at work and is afraid to appear dumb or stupid. 3) Monetary. Subscription services, although, appear to be inexpensive on a large scale and volume contribute to a large expense by the universities. 4) Technology. There is no proven technology present on the face of the earth that can 100% guarantee that the paper is plagiarized. The subscription services utilize a common sorting and word count algorithm that uses search engines to find the corresponding words and phrases. No single system searches for sentences.
Therefore, if a person just happens to use common words and phrases (which is oftentimes the case with a foreign student), then these engines will constantly claim that these papers written in plain language are plagiarized. 4) Third parties interest and rational. The subscription to the anti-plagiarism 100%-guarantee services is in the best interests of these companies only. The students are not interested to plagiarize because they understand that without the proper knowledge but with good diploma they are not going to get a job. The universities incur relatively high costs that otherwise could have been spent on more useful ideas rather than on the ways to break the US constitution and install the presumption of guilt in the classroom. Furthermore, when a student wants to get a plagiarized paper, they can use various custom writing services that teem on the World Wide Web.

While it is in the best interests of the anti-plagiarism companies to get profits, there is no guarantee that companies like TurnitIn.com, plagiserve.com, edutie.com are in no relationship to the writing mills on the web. Thus, it appears to me that with such conflicts of interests, this argument certainly adds up to the other three that oppose the idea to use TurnItIn.com in schools..
