I'm just astonished at this point, that people don't know what plagiarizing is. I am constantly in my college classes, getting assigned essays and papers, where a teacher is STILL saying plagiarizing gets you a 0, and if you don't know what that is, go to the writing center. Like, how do you NOT know what it means to take someone's words and not credit or ask permission and put your name on it by now? I see it on every syllabus, yet teachers say they ALWAYS get people doing it without 'knowing'. How is that possible in this day and age?
