Hey Everyone,
I believe that technology has a great impact on plagiarism, mostly through the internet. A student can use spark notes to read summaries, plots, and character descriptions of a vast number of books. Also students can type in a question about a certain book or topic on google and they will be able to look at essays and other works by students. Also, there is even websites where a person can purchase a pre-written essay on a novel or book. I believe that the University takes steps to reduce plagiarism by having students submit their written work into a database that checks it against other students at the University as well as the internet as a whole. Also students are required to use a works cited sheet for most of their written assignments. Furthermore, the University monitors your internet usage and warns you that they will hand-out strict punishment for those caught plagiarizing including a zero on the assignment.
