What is being done to prevent people breaching this law? On the spot fines for infringement of this law can be up to $1320.00 for the people involved.
Now to the concern of Plagiarism, the biggest issue within this is in schools. Plagiarism includes a wide range of issues, from copying a person’s work entirely or stealing their ideas; and whether it is on purpose or accidental. There are many reasons as to why students plagiarise, from lack of research skills to careless note-taking. The University of Alberta have identified that students assume that plagiarism only involves written text, what ideas are copyrighted and what are facts, or what is considered common knowledge.
In the modern world, mostly the only thing that matters to a student is their grades. Family members or personal expectations may pressure a student to maintain a certain average whether or not they have learned anything.
Time management skills and organisational skills can also pressure a student and make them feel overwhelmed at their task which leads them to plagiarise. The University came up with a solution to ask students to hand up and outline (or draft) before their work it due.
