Abstract

Plagiarism, a general academic offence, is to take words and ideas from someone else’s work and use them in one’s own academic assignment without admitting one’s doing that. Plagiarism is also considered a moral offense against anyone who has provided the plagiarist with a benefit in exchange for what is specifically supposed to be original content. This report aims to examine the issue of plagiarism by discussing the case of Igor, a Russian student in the U.S, who committed plagiarism by submitting his friend’s research paper as his own. Three possible solutions are suggested and evaluated. Consequently, the most appropriate one, which is justified, is that Igor confronts the problem by apologizing to the professor and asking for a resubmission. Then in the conclusions and recommendations some plagiarism problems are pointed out and the relevant measures of preventing plagiarism are presented.
