1.1 Discussion on the Statement

I do not agree with the statement. Plagiarism is not only about copying from another student.
It also includes using information from books, websites or any other source without giving
proper credit. Academic dishonesty happens when a student presents someone else’s ideas
as their own. This is a serious issue because it shows a lack of honesty and respect for
other people’s work. According to academic guidelines, all sources must be acknowledged,
even if the words are changed. Failing to do this is still considered plagiarism and can lead
to penalties.
