Should it be our responsibility to minimize plagiarism, sees it is. Academic Integrity helps keep higher learning’s foundation strong. That is why it is very important to minimize or even try to eliminate plagiarism. Academic integrity surely includes issues like cheating and plagiarism, copyrights, patents, intellectual property. But it concerns the way in which we present ourselves to the community of which we are a part of. It’s the obligation of students, administrators, faculty, and staff, to come together to educate students for personal and social responsibility.

Schools offer to the earning community information about academic and research integrity, the responsible conduct of research, and about the ways in which our individual actions have an effect on our participation with, a vibrant and creative academic and social community.

Cheating, the use or attempted use of unauthorized materials such as annotated or instructor editions of the course textbook, information, or study aids; or an act of deceit by which a student attempts to misrepresent academic skills or knowledge. Fabrication is the intentional misrepresentation or invention of any information, such as falsifying research, inventing or exaggerating data, or listing incorrect or fictitious references. There are ways for responsible blobbing as long as people can be ethical and follow them blobbing may become more credible. First Floggers should check their facts before blobbing.

It is so simple to produce and share content why not make ere it is 100% facts before sharing. Floggers should respect all copyright laws, people associate online content with public domain content which can get the flogger in hot water. Floggers should include links to a more detail source of the material that is being written. Giving credit where credit is due is very important in responsible blobbing. The flogger should always reference their sources, this practice is important under an ethical point of view, but also give the reader a place to get the main source of facts. 0 2009 Towline, Inc.
