Plagiarism is like an action or movement in which the efforts of a person is used by the other person i.e the original material of the one person is used by the other personand it shows as a real work done by himself. It is a violation of the copyright. And it is a crime in the eyes of law. The students used the material of the authors from the different sources and use the material in their assignments. The honest students complete the assignments with the limited resources and use their knowledge to complete their assignment and so much time of the students is consumed because of the assignments. The students who use the material of the other authors completed their assignments in a short period of time. In some cases, the copied data is matched with an original data and the students have to complete the whole assignments and the penalty is also be paid by them.
