Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of plagiarism on students and the ways to overcome it. The study employed a quantitative approach through a questionnaire involving 70 students as respondents. The findings indicate that one of the consequences of plagiarism is the loss of trust from lecturers and peers towards students, with a mean value of 3.64. Among the measures to address plagiarism, universities can offer academic writing workshops that teach students how to cite sources correctly and present original ideas, while lecturers may conduct oral assessments or monitor students’ assignment progress regularly, each receiving a mean value of 3.66. In conclusion, plagiarism is a serious issue that requires cooperation from all parties, including students, lecturers, and educational institutions, to ensure that academic integrity is preserved and quality graduates are produced.
