Many undergraduate courses in colleges and universities are completed by papers. However, the existing teaching form determines that many courses often end together (usually at the end of the term), which leads students to write many papers in one to two weeks' review time. Each paper often stipulates that the bibliography should reach more than a few, and the number of words should reach thousands or even tens of thousands. Excuse me, does this conform to the law of education?
Then there is the limitation of students' academic level. Academic papers must be based on profound academic accomplishment, and it is impossible to write original opinions without in-depth research. In recent years, scandals of academic plagiarism of professors and masters have been frequently reported in newspapers, largely because of the lack of in-depth research. Now an undergraduate student has to write many papers in one semester, and the difficulty can be imagined. Besides borrowing and copying, how many outlets do they have?
Finally, the grading standards are unfair. Students' original papers are "low-level"-compared with plagiarized papers with novel ideas and profound theories, they are inevitably eclipsed. Most importantly, due to the limitation of teachers' own academic vision, many plagiarized works actually score higher than the original. Based on the principle that bad money drives out good money, of course, the plagiarism will continue.
All these make it difficult to stop plagiarism. Only by taking a multi-pronged approach and making a difference in morality, law, teaching methods and teachers' level can plagiarism be eradicated.
