Hi all, I'm interested in ways in which we educate our students about plagiarism: how we go about making it clear to them what forms of citation is acceptable, how to quote, and so on. In particular, i've seen some interesting use of plagiarism _detection_ systems being used to highlight text - mock essays with some plagiarised portions and some correctly cited portions - and the subsequent report being used as an aid to discussion of the issues. Do people on this list have any experiences, tips or tricks they might like to share about ways of educating students to prevent plagiarism in the first place? Do you have a handout you give to students highlighting what plagiarism is? I have seen much which details what the penalties are, but less which deals with the nature of plagiarism in a straightforward and understandable manner, and would be interested in hearing how people at other institutions tackle this problem. Many thanks, .h -- hannah dee. vision group, school of computing, university of leeds. ************************************************************************* You are subscribed to the JISC Plagiarism mailing list.
