Dudley talked about students not being willing to engage in the writing process. He states, “…it was the students who intentionally copied ― knowing it was wrong ― who were “unwilling to engage in the writing process.” I agree with this because more often than not, when students are not enthusiastic about writing, they plagiarize to get by. They would aim for the bare minimum to pass and never beyond because they are not interested in what they are being taught. Furthermore, they do not understand the purpose of what they are doing and, when this happens, they do not engage in it what they are doing. They just have to do it for a grade, but a grade means nothing if it hasn't been done by the student. For example, in my middle school, where many students are only concerned with passing rather than actually doing the work to get there, they were plagiarizing. These are the same students “unwilling to engage in the writing process.” Students would share their work via Google Docs with other students in the hope that they might get ideas. But instead of using one student's work to get ideas, the other student copies and pastes it into their own until the teacher spots it. However, this defeats the entire purpose of the school. If students plagiarize to get ahead, not only do they lack creativity and originality, but it will not benefit them to get ahead in the real world. It won't teach them how to use their brains to think critically about what they're doing. Depending on the severity of the plagiarism, the consequences may vary. Some of these consequences could be expulsion from college, loss of position in a company or institution, and risk of finding a job
