If you don't already know about it, may I draw your attention to this seminar on June 17/18 at the Missenden Centre? PLAGIARISM: CRIMINALISING STUDENTS? Today students can obtain a quote for a tailor-made essay or dissertation, quality guaranteed, by contacting one of the many companies or essay banks now available on the web. You can check on what it costs them, by visiting www.degree-essays.com for instance. Graduates are invited to apply for a job preparing material for these companies to sell. When lies and deception are apparently routine among directors of large companies, politicians, journalists, parents, police and even some academics, how can universities deter students from unfair practice and respond when they do plagiarise? And how are conscientious students to rebut accusations of cheating? These and related questions will be addressed by Susan Bassnett, University of Warwick Fiona Duggan, JISC Plagiarism Advisory Service Peter Levin, LSE Details from John Wakeford Head, Missenden Centre for the Development of Higher Education [log in to unmask] tel: 01189 017120 mobile: 07905111415 ************************************************************************* You are subscribed to the JISC Plagiarism mailing list.
