I agree. Credit should be given where credit is due. For example, akarpokhrel, I can tell by your poor spelling, improper grammar and improper syntax that you wrote this yourself. I started to fix your sentences but I got tired and stopped:

There is an interesting debate going on in some colleges and universities about whether the use of plagiarism detection software is consistent with having an honor code, for schools that have such a thing in a more or less "official" capacity. The tradition at my school, for example, is for students to include with every assignment or exam a signed statement saying they have not committed any form of academic dishonesty. With the recent addition of plagiarism detection software to our resources, however, some faculty members here wonder whether it is consistent to claim to uphold this honor code and then run our students' assignments through plagiarism detection software anyway. If we use the software as a matter of course, does it empty the honor pledge of meaning? It's an interesting question and I'm not sure where I stand on the matter yet.
