Cheating/Plagiarism

Cheating and Plagiarism is seen as one of the worst things you can do in school to get your self in trouble. I do not know which one is worse but all I do know is that they can both get you kicked out of school. Plagiarism is when you copy and paste the exact words from a story on the internet and copy and paste it into your own Microsoft word document. Teachers have been catching on and have a website now called Turnitin.com which basically lets them read the paper of the student and if they have any suspicion at all that they have plagiarized, they type in any sentence from the story and it will give them the website that it was copied from.
Cheating is very serious and kids are finding more and more ways to try and pull this off. It went from copying with your eyes from the student next to you, to the cell phone technique, the headphones, the water bottle. Some students have the answers stored in their cell phone, others pretend they are listening to music and can really be listening to answers they recorded onto. Some students do the water bottle which basically is when they take off the label to the water bottle and write the answers in on it so that it looks less suspicious since a lot of people bring water bottles to school. The other way is just making a little sheet of paper with answers on it or writing it on your arm which is not being used as much anymore because everyone keeps getting to get caught that way.
