A very good resource! I let some comments on the form as well, but here
are my two main points:
- one of the earlier slides says that a "clear" example of plagiarism is
handing in the same essay twice for different assessments - but all the
definitions that follow, especially from the dictionary and the quote
from the disciplinary procedures, state explicitly that it is to pass
SOMEONE ELSE'S ideas off as one's own.
I've always argued that "self-plagiarism" is a contradiction in terms
and part of a dastardly ploy by publishers to squeeze as much money out
of academics as possible. An institution MAY of course create a sui
generis disciplinary offence that prohibits this. But personally I'd say
if an institution is so disorganised in its exam arrangements that a
student can really answer questions from two different courses with the
same essay, they and not the student deserve to be punished.
- information from websites: DOI's are not mentioned - Where applicable,
I demand them from my students (and one may consider to waive the
"website last visited" info when a DOI is available)
but a very helpful guide and many thanks for sharing!
