plagiarism seems to be on the increase. For many teachers, the labor
of proving suspected plagiarism is a formidable obstacle to face at
the end of the semester. If plagiarism is to be combated, it must be
done regularly throughout the semester, not just at the end. Here are
some suggestions.

could require a description of the research process, particularly how
the utilized sources were found, which would make it extremely difficult
to "defend" the use of another's paper. In addition, some
part of each paper could be required to involve a personally conducted
interview, survey, or experiment, which would preclude the use of a
"catalog" paper. ...

Plagiarism in
Colleges in USA
Plagiarism
by students is a serious problem in colleges in the USA. Note that the
definitions of plagiarism, and particularly the exclusion of facts and
ideas from plagiarism, in this essay are my personal views of what the
rules should be. The rules that apply to a student are given in the
regulations of the student's college, or in instructions from the student's
professor. Before beginning this detailed discussion of the legal aspects
of plagiarism, it is worthwhile to take a moment to reflect on why plagiarism
is wrong.

Plagiarism: What It is and How to Recognize
and Avoid It
In
college courses, we are continually engaged with other people's ideas:
we read them in texts, hear them in lecture, discuss them in class,
and incorporate them into our own writing. As a result, it is very important
that we give credit where it is due. Plagiarism is using others' ideas
and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.

about.
Plagiarism and the Web
So
what is a teacher to do? Here are some suggestions (many of which also
help with the much more common problem of papers borrowed or purchased
from friends): 1.Let students know that you know about these web sites.
Then do actually check some of them out. Students will be less likely
to submit a paper that they know you may have seen on the web (or that
a classmate might also submit). 2....3...

Strategies To Promote Academic Integrity
There
are many ways faculty can create an environment that supports academic
integrity.
Plagiarism and the Challenge of Essay
Writing: Learning from our Students
By
taking their perspective into account, we can significantly improve
our ability to teach our students the basic mechanical skills of proper
referencing and improve their essay-writing skills in the process. Drawing
on my experience over the years and interviews with a number of students
who have been charged with plagiarism, I have identified four common
factors that faculty can address: sloppy research methods; reliance
on inappropriate reference guides; misunderstanding of the logic and
rules of referencing; and weak essay-writing skills.
Questioning author(ity): ESL/EFL, science,
and teaching about plagiarism
The
author uses this framework to argue that ESL/EFL professionals need
to question the relevance of some traditional notions about plagiarism
and examine their effect on the ability of their students to publish
and take part in the mainstream of discourse in the sciences. The author
includes pertinent information from literature in language politics,
studies in second language acquisition and second language writing,
culture studies, and contemporary literature concerning the effects
of technology on traditional Western concepts of intellectual property
Academic Honesty Code
All
members of the Eastern Oregon University academic community are responsible
for compliance with its Academic Honesty Code. Students are required
to report violations to the respective faculty member of a course. Provisions
of the Academic Honesty Code are:
How do we keep students honest?
I
believe that we can do something about academic dishonesty—in positive
ways—and, by doing so, we can strengthen the expectation that personal
integrity and responsibility are essential for higher learning

Preventing Academic Dishonesty
These
include competition and pressures for good grades, instructional situations
that are perceived as unfair or excessively demanding, faculty who are
perceived as uncaring or indifferent to their own teaching or to their
students' learning, lax attitudes on the part of faculty toward academic
dishonesty, peer pressure to support a friend, and a diminishing sense
of academic integrity and ethical values among students. Not all these
factors are under an instructor's control, but there are specific steps
you can take to prevent academic dishonesty:

to take specific actions to PREVENT (or at least minimize) cheating,

Academic Dishonesty
Cheating
and plagiarism are important issues at the University and must be kept
at a minimum. However, they are not easy to identify or deal with. Even
when you are sure you have evidence of cheating, you may be wrong. Academic
dishonesty has only occurred if there was an intention to be dishonest.

What Is Plagiarism?; How to Avoid Plagiarism?
"Plagiarism
is intentionally or knowingly presenting words, ideas or work of others
as one’s own work. Plagiarism includes copying homework, copying lab
reports, copying computer programs, using a work or portion of a work
written or created by another but not crediting the source, using one’s
own work completed in a previous class for credit in another class without
permission, paraphrasing another’s work without giving credit, and borrowing
or using ideas without giving credit."

Plagiarism Handouts for Students and Colleagues
Oakton Professor Battles Notion that Cheating is Just Study Tool
Plagiarism Handouts for Students and Colleagues<
Theft, Fraud, and Loss of Voice,” from Transition to College Writing,
by Keith Hjortshoj
When doing research, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the expertise
and authority of sources. Many students accidentally plagiarize because
they cannot find a way to get their own points of view and voices into
the essays they are trying to write. In this excerpt, from his book
Transition to College Writing, Keith Hjortshoj explains to student
writers the importance of establishing their own voice and points of
view so that the sources they use can be woven into their arguments
in ways that reduce the likelihood (and temptation) of both accidental
and intentional plagiarism.
