Four reasons to avoid plagiarism:
1. Plagiarism is unethical. It is considered an act of stealing.
2. Plagiarism is a lost learning opportunity. If we plagiarizer instead of find and source the information we lose the change to learn.
3. Plagiarism diminishes your credibility. We have to let the reader know where we located the information.
4. Plagiarism may result in serious penalties. Is a violation of academic honesty and could result in a zero on the assignment or worse.
