There’s a good chance of it, and I hope you do get caught if you try to get away with it. Students work their butts off to do well in their classes, and you think it’s okay for you to just copy the whole essay? Do your own work.

You know it’s wrong, but “things happen.” True. Things do happen. But there’s not a legitimate excuse to plagiarize an essay. You realize that it’s not just against the rules, but illegal…right? Odds are that no legal action would be taken, but it’s quite possible.

The ethical ramifications aside…why pay for a college education if you aren’t going to take the time to learn anything or do the work that you are PAYING to receive?
