Maurice Isserman wrote out such a clear concept however, it may not be taken so easily. Though Isserman says that it is, in fact, easier to copy another person’s work as your own; won’t you be putting it up with a higher risk because of the punishments you could encounter in the future for yourself. I have to say that if a person doesn’t document wherever the concept/idea came from he/she is causing a fraud. It isn’t a difficult concept to add quotation marks, the author’s name, the piece that it came from, etc. It is unfortunate when a student who knows that plagiarizing is looked down upon, he/she still chooses to do it just for a few more hours of sleep or something. There have been cases where a student has earned an immediate F because of what he/she decided and forever that grade has to remain on his/her permanent record. It is an unclear thought to me as to why people would put themselves in situations like that when they could be at risk of losing everything that got them to that point.
