Hi Mandy,
I’d like for you to BLOG on OUR class’ blog about your thoughts on Ethics, Plagiarism, and the ramifications on a college campus if you are caught cheating.
The blog post needs to be at least one paragraph long so that I can count it towards your class participation.

I think the consequences of cheating in college is not worth it. Many students can purchase essays online, or buy old tests, hire classmates to do homework for them, and get a semester’s worth of notes from upperclassmen. In Anthropology class, Professor Pinnock said she was grading the gender assignment, when she noticed that a student wrote a really good essay, except, when she got to the last paragraph, it was plagiarized. Pinnock was talking about how it’s really pointless to try to plagiarize because you will get caught, and it will be on your record. You might as well just hand in your own work, if you really put in the effort, that’s all that matters, because at least it’s your own work. We’re all paying for college, paying to learn, so don’t pay to learn how to purchase essays, actually do the work, and if you can’t, then don’t hand in anything at all.
