Especially in high school, many students may not realize that plagiarism encompasses paraphrasing and borrowing ideas without attribution. Discuss Your Plagiarism Policy: Discuss the reasons for your school's plagiarism policy. Explain that plagiarism cheats the writers of original material out of credit for their work, that it isn't fair to other students, and that it cheats plagiarizers out of the skills they would develop in writing the papersetting them up to fail later. A great way to bring up the topic of plagiarism in your classroom is with a quiz. Chris Anson of North Carolina State University put together a great plagiarism quiz for teachers to give students. Spell Out the Penalities: Discuss the penalties for plagiarism. If the penalties are serious, students will be less likely to take the risk. Put it in the Syllabus: Include your school's plagiarism policy in the course syllabus. Putting the plagiarism policy in a prominent location will remind your students of the definition and consequences of plagiarism. Also, discussing plagiarism on the first day with the rest of the syllabus will show students that you're serious about it. <snip> The complete article may be read at the URL above.
