That's interesting Mike but the cases do this anti plagiarism movement no
good whatsoever.
Student/graduate Ian's Blog is worthy of a read and
he has just a few cases posted there. You can register and comment on what is
there: I did that.
As for the young lady, my comment is that she may
have been guilty of plagiarism, I can't judge from what I know already. What I
can be sure of is that a 2:1 should not be awarded to someone who relies on or
mainly on one source ...
As for Ian, I have much more sympathy for him if
his story has been accurately presented. We have had a similar debate here where
some of us feel that the over zealous teacher should be allowed to fail someone
who omits aspects of an acknowlegement ... but not entirely.
Just goes to show that this problem is not going to
go away doesn't it. The outcome could be, of course, that so many borderline or
emotive cases will appear that the entire plagiarism situation will become a
tree hugger's paradise.
