Copy and Paste

Whenever someone is typing an assignment on their computers, they often use the copy and paste technique to help them finish their work. The Internet has many websites for all kinds of topics. It's a good way to get the infornation you are looking for. However, People should be careful about using copy and paste. Using them carelessly is the same thing as cheating. The font on the website is usually different than the font you are using to type up your work. After copying what you wanted, the best thing to do is to make sure every word is in the same font. If there are parts that are not in the same font, that would look suspicious for instructors. Another important thing to do after using copy and paste is to cite sources. Instructors need to know where their students get their information from. No sources can look suspicious and and students can be accused of cheating. When you use copy and paste, use it at your own risk.
