Part 1

Your Paragraph Including APA Citations

I believe students plagiarize due to the lack of knowledge they have when it comes to citing resources and how or where to put quotes from their research. Moreover, it could be a from of being lazy and/or not having the time to do their own work. Stress or panic could also be a possibility on why they plagiarize their work. Time management could play a role in this as if the student didn’t do a good job of preparing and organizing their schedule, next thing they know is the paper is due and they haven’t even started it yet. As MacDonell (2005) explained:

Several reasons for the increase in plagiarism have been advanced.1.2 These include pressure to publish, lack of time, the desire to get work into print quickly, simultaneously submitting an article to multiple journals in hopes of increasing the odds of acceptance, and carelessness. Therefore waiting until the last minute then trying to throw something together by copying and pasting whatever they find online. (MacDonell, 2005, p. 35)

Possible consequences include a failing grade, being dropped from the class, or even being expelled from the institution attending.
