Time and time again, students are told not to plagiarize. So many times throughout High School and college, we are told what plagiarism is, and how to avoid it. This is because it is terrible to steal, especially from others. When the research process begins, there should be a conscious effort to take notes and record where your sources came from.
Using other's ideas to learn and develop ideas is essential as a student. It is a fundamental value to learning. Using these ideas, without proper citation format, leads to failure. As a student, there should always be a constant effort to cite properly.
Even more important is learning. When you steal ideas that are not your own, you cannot learn. You use there thoughts to complete assignments, and you don't develop your own. Not only will you fail, but you will cheat yourself. Always cite properly.
