Abstract

The given paper discusses the phenomenon of plagiarism, its main types and some of the basic reasons why students plagiarize.

It is the duty of us - teachers to inform them in this respect. The article highlights the main reasons why students might be tempted to plagiarize. Their possible solutions are also given.
