Dan was assigned to make a poem about his experiences during the pandemic, but instead of making one, he searched the internet and copied a poem. He passed it and told his teacher that he wrote it. In connection to what we have discussed about the importance of writing a bibliography, is Dan’s action right? Explain your answer. (10pts)
Answers & Comments
Answer:
No, what Dan did was not right, because failing to write a bibliography makes it plagiarism. Without the presence of a source or a URL on where you found the poem, it's easy to say that you stole someone's work as your own.
