Why Students Do Copy Paste

Copy paste is a simple way in the use of office documents in your PC or laptop, just to see and move the hand, everything can be completed in an instant. Just block section (files, text, images, etc.) then click ctrl + C and open a new document and click ctrl V. The files that were blocked had directly copied quickly. That's the advantage of technological advances. Copy paste is also the way copy and paste a sentence or the results of other people's work without including a reference source and a reference URL address without changing the words according to the source. Activities including copy and paste into the act of plagiarism because when it would make the exact same sentence just imitate the words of reference without change, as just duplicated it.

Nowadays, copy paste phenomenon is very much done by the students and college students, in fact has become a habit, whether it's intentional or not sometimes people are not aware of what they are writing is the work of others. Copy and paste it different from quoting, quoting is re-recorded sentences with the words themselves but the point remains the same and include reference sources. There are several reasons college students do copy and paste:

First, the lack of knowledge about the rules of writing. Their lack of knowledge about the way of writing a scientific paper the causes of plagiarism or copy paste. References are just the reinforcement of the idea he should include a reference source such as a tribute to the originality of a work.

Second, the sanctions have not been enforced strictly. In this case needs to be put in place strict sanctions for offenders Copy and paste. it is very necessary because in terms of the educational process for the academic community itself in order to keep them away from the action.

Third, not confident. Not confident also be an underlying thing for someone to do a copy paste. Unpreparedness a person in making a task that causes this to happen. Therefore, the role of the lecturer to motivate students.

Fourth, Lazy. Lazy nature is human nature, not least for the students. Students become bored and lazy as always faced with the task of piling. The task of the various subjects is not uncommon to have about the same deadline. This of course makes the student less than optimal doing his job. Not infrequently, students working on tasks with shortcuts. Reasoned time constraints, the students do a copy paste from a friend or work results in internet browsing.

And the last, technology abuse. Advances in technology have introduced the internet to the students. In the ease of the Internet is getting students to obtain a reference. A student who want to find the reference just type "keyword" and a few moments later references in want appears in the display monitor. Easiness in accessing the internet even this is not infrequently abused by students. Without thinking, the students do a copy paste without referring to the copy of the reference. Students often do not even collect assignments from the copy paste without editing first.

Society, especially students, should be aware that the habit Copy Paste work of others will only harm themselves and those who have it work. Whether we realize it or not, this action will make the student mind shackled by the people's work. Freedom of thought and coming up with ideas was increasingly difficult. Moreover there is no longer respect for the original work due to the erosion of student morals. The work is monotonous will be more and more common and hard to find works better if the copy and paste activity continues. habit of copy and paste is a form of deception that indirectly affect the quality of the intellectual. Students who had been required to develop a science by issuing notion, ideas, thinking critically, must now be passive when faced with a problem and tend to take shortcuts in practice to simply complete the responsibilities.

Actually, if the problem is viewed is a college student s/ students, but in fact there is why students perform multiplication and attachment action, that because the task of the teacher / lecturer is not innovative, exceptional teachers give assignments on studies that are not grounded with potential students which will lead to copy paste because students do not know much about these studies.

Solution to give the task to make what they pursue is an effective way to avoid copy and paste in the execution of the task, and therefore the teacher must be able to continue to explore the talent and potential of students with different ways of giving the assignment. Activities of plagiarism decides that it is not permitted and violates copyright laws. With the above effective way to reduce the copy paste habits of students in performing tasks.
