Dear Listmembers,
A lunchtime discussion today centred on consideration of policies relating
to plagiarism, specifically the recording of offences. Questions that were
raised included the following:
Do institutions record offences that are considered to be minor, and if they
do, is there any guidelines as to the number of minor offences that would be
needed to constitute a major offence?
Are minor offences taken into consideration when later offences are being
considered?
Needless to say no definitive answers were produced, but it would be
interesting to hear how other institutions deal with these issues.
Regards
