"Mathematics can be plagiarised too". I totally agree, as can
computer code, which is becoming quite difficult to manage and detect
plagiarism. Does anyone have any experience of this?

Subject: Re: Blackboards new plagiarism tool
Sorry to fill peoples inboxed, but it is a Friday afternoon and I am a
Reader in Maths. I fully subscribe to technology (TurnitinUK for
marking essays, access grid technology (and the wonderful mimioboard)).
But given a choice for a regular LARGE lecture I prefer blackboards and
OHPs. I won't bore you with all of my excuses but two pluses of
blackboards over whiteboards are the excellent contrast provided - this
is difficult to beat - and blackboards work as long as you have chalk
(no reliance on availability of pens or cleaning the gunge off
whiteboard or having power). OHPs have virtually infinite resolution as
compared to data projectors.
So as not to abuse this maillist how does TurnitinUK cope with
Mathematics which is the language of science? Mathematics can be
plagiarised too.
