A statement to students about plagiarism any why I answer questions:

Plagiarism is a crime.
Plagiarism can ruin reputations, end careers, lead to expulsion from school, the loss of financial aid, and can even result in fines and imprisonment in some cases. Its not worth it!
A small percentage of those who ask questions at sites like this copy and paste our replies as their own work, often without giving credit. This is plagiarism. Its not worth it!
We all know that one can google a homework question and in many cases find an easy response, but so can your teachers! Many teachers are aware that some students do this and catch their cheating students.
To read more about this issue go to the following link. Its a conversation between a teacher from a respectable institution of learning and me where she writes: ...I have had over 20 students copy your work in the past 3 months...
Understand that if you plagiarize you are cheating your instructors, your answerer, your fellow students, everyone who respects you... and ultimately yourself. Don't do it!
Please use our answers to help in your research, not to replace it.
Learn, don't cheat.
