Subject: Cutting and Pasting: A Senior Thesis by (Insert Name)
We've been "there" before,and even if these are the lazy hazy days of
summer, Sept. will come around...
A friend who teaches at a well-known eastern university told me
recently that plagiarism was turning him into a cop. He begins the
semester collecting evidence, in the form of an in-class essay that
gives him a sense of how well students think and write. He looks back
at the samples later when students turn in papers that feature their
own, less-than-perfect prose alongside expertly written passages
lifted verbatim from the Web.
Read the whole editorial.
