Plagiarism 3-5-13

The 4 Reasons not to plagiarize are as follows:
1) Plagiarism is unethical. Because it's considered stealing (Harris 379).
2) Plagiarism is a lost learning opportunity. You can't properly understand how to conduct research if you're stealing someone's work (Harris 379).
3) Plagiarism demisinshes your credibility. Our words are more credible when we back them up with credible facts (Harris 379).
4) Plagiarism results in serious penalties. You can be punished for plagiarizing, including flunking the course, or being expelled (Harris 379).
