Of Plagiarism, Paper Mills, and the Harried, Hurried Student

This article by Maureen Hourigans who has been a writing since 1964 and talks about plagiarism. She discusses the importance behind it, and why it shouldn't be done. Also she mentions the difference of plagiarism from the 60s to now with Internet where things are more accessible. I don't think every student knows or was taught about Plagiarism in a way to be familiar with. It has become a big issue mostly because people do not want to do their own work and just reuse another'sor do not know the rules following plagiarism. Pushing the rules and making sure they are addressed or presented in a way that is clearly understood.
