42 Examples of Plagiarism Written by Student C: Another point mentioned by Mr. Chung is the weakness of local civil engineering students. New graduates suppose that design is the most important part of a project. Mr. Chung pointed out that design is very important, but the project implementation is no less importance. Written by Student D: We then discussed the weaknesses of the local civil engineering students. He pointed out that although most graduates regard the design work as the most important part of a project, the project implementation and management should not be ignored. Plagiarism 41
