Directions. If you like, choose two other people with whom to complete this assignment. You

may also complete this assignment individually.

Read the following essay, (linked below)--especially review the questions Blackall asks the

essay-writing company.

Leigh Blackall, “​It’s not plagiarism, it’s an easy essay​”

With your group (or on your own), answer the following:

1. How would you respond to the essay company’s answers?

2. Do you feel this practice is unethical?

3. What should happen to students that purchase an essay and get caught?

4. What does the company mean when they claim that their essays are “plagiarism-free”?

5. Can a purchased essay be plagiarism-free?

6. What is the difference between a copyrighted work and a plagiarized work?

Next, revisit your original survey answers (paper handout). Change any that you feel need to be changed, and save your survey in your binder.
