gossipatrol:you know since I've been exposed to them and I know They get there by writing books and publishing articles in journals most times through bribes but if your grandfather is a professor then you're probably right or maybe they've stopped using Papa's method |

Now I know I owe my supervisor a big thanks. He won't overlook a plagiarised line. Now, just like sexual urge, I always feel the urge to reference my sources. |

IamAtribalist: LEGAL PUNISHMENTS Most cases of plagiarism are considered misdemeanors, punishable by fines of anywhere between $100 and $50,000 -- and up to one year in jail. Plagiarism can also be considered a felony under certain state and federal laws. For example, if a plagiarist copies and earns more than $2,500 from copyrighted material, he or she may face up to $250,000 in fines and up to ten years in jail.

So how's this equivalent to examination malpractice? [quote author=Ladrang post=44705330][/quote] |
Re: University Of Calabar Retires Professor For Plagiarism by Nobody: 12:55am On Apr 15, 2016 |
amtaken: Plagiarism does not equate examination malpractice; they are siblings of the same academic vices. I think we can say plagiarism is stealing, while exam malpractice is cheating. I believe if you can differentiate between stealing and cheating, you will grab the distinction between plagiarism and examination malpractice. |

I knew, that's why I asked the question but many people here erroneously jumped to the conclusion that I didn't know the meaning. Ladrang: |

@aZeD1 - UNIPORT uses TURNITIN at MSc Level..it started with our class..our project work had to be subjected to the test..it was nt funny at all..lolzzz....TURNITIN has its flaws, buttom line u have to create ur own nd not copy..i had to attend lectures organised by the Post Graduate Sch. to understand how big a crime plagiarism was..according to wat I heard d sch paid abt a million naira to subscribe to TURNITIN..den de shared d password amongst all PST GRAD depts..to Re-subscribe they needed abt 4mill..expensive bt worth it. Wats 4mil to almighty UNIPORT..if TURNITIN is Introduced at UnderGRAD level..a large chunk of students may probably not GRAJ..lolzz |

amtaken: In other words, plagiarism means academic theft. So tell me, what do u think happens to those who steal from others (i.e thieves) according to our justice system? |

A professor for that matter,knowing fully well that plagiarism is an academic offence if he/she does that,what does he/she expect from his/her students |
