You do not want to be there. Besides the embarrassment of having to admit to fellow students that you cheated on your work, you will receive a punishment of demerits and detention hours if you are found guilty. This year, the detention hours will count toward the student's ceiling of thirty hours. Two trips to the Honor Council will result in a trip to the Discipline Board, regardless of the number of hours the student has accumulated. Besides your visit to the Honor Council, the teacher will probably assign a grade of F to the work involved.
Plagiarism is obvious .
English teachers keep copies of current Cliff's Notes, Monarch Notes, etc. in their classrooms and are familiar with the information in them. They often check the wording in student papers against the wording in the Cliff's Notes if they have the slightest doubt about whether students have used their own words. They can also easily find books in the library or papers from the Internet which students may have used to complete their work. Teachers quickly learn to recognize the various writing styles of their students, and they know a different style when they read it. Plagiarism will result in more severe penalties later in life.
