Plagorism/ textbook

Devyn Olson

Plagiarism is on the rise on college campuses in the United States. So says most as
shown on http://www.ehow.com/about_5434260_plagiarism.html, written by Eric Edwin Joseph
Benac, "10,560 of those 16,000 have committed plagiarism at least once and that 1,280 of
those cheat regularly." So as you can clearly see from the prestigious University of
Florida that the fact that most College students have copied someone else's work for
several reasons. No matter the reason schools are cracking down on plagiarism to hopefully
completely remove it from social behaviour.


The debate, will text out live digital? That is a question that can only be answered by opinion at the moment though I can enlighten some of the data out there. Textbooks are popular among college students, all fair? Well what is I told you that it has been shown that E books or textbook in digital is slowly taking over the market. The New York Times states “According to the National Association of College Stores, digital books make up just under 3 percent of textbook sales, although the association expects that share to grow to 10 percent to 15 percent by 2012 as more titles are made available as e-books“. So as this chunk of the article explains that e-books are indeed selling faster along with what title become available. So maybe when it finally explodes even the textbook stubborn Western Technical College will be selling e-books and our generation relaxes into digital bliss.
