According the article from what we have discussed before, I learn that many students in college are familiar the policy of plagiarism, but they still do it on purpose. Therefore, my issue is how to avoid plagiarism on campus. I found out that plagiarizing papers and essay is a common phenomenon around my classmates, so I wonder what is the mainly reason to encourage them to plagiarize. After I read an article “How to avoid retractions for plagiarism: Advice from a radiology journal editor(and arXiv)” from “http://www.scoop.it/t/plagiarism” I understand that there are many problems, which stimulate this issue. Also, from my own opinion, the reason of this problem is from many aspects, such as study pressure, less efficient punishment and student’s quality. From the resource mention, professors could try to use “turnitin” and other tools to help them check whether students plagiarize or not, because those tools could improve the efficiency of checking. In a result, student will careful to do it. According my experience, I insist that students are all afraid to get involved into this situation. I believe it will definitely help school to reduce plagiarism phenomenon.
