Never purchase, copy, or download essays: do not copy. Do not allow any possibility that someone else could copy your work or assignments or exams. You do not want to be accused of abetting someone else"s academic misconduct: do not allow others to diminish the value of your honest efforts and achievements. This means that you should not allow another person to assume your identity to write a test, computer quiz or assignment; nor should you assume the identity of another. Nor should you sign attendance sheets on behalf of another student. How common is it as a type of academic misconduct, and why: plagiarism is a combination of stealing and lying about it afterwards.
