Hi
As I have just been posted an advert for this, I wondered what people's views on software programmes like "Grammarly" are (see: http://www.cup.columbia.edu/book/978-0-231-16004-9/mothers-in-academia). In particular, should we (as educators) be recommending such sources to our students. As an institution, we don't promote to our students (in Psychology)the use Turnitin to check assignments before submission, and we certainly don't give access to Turnitin as a free source through the University. I will, therefore, be interested to exploring what my colleagues feel about recommending such types of programmes like Grammarly - especially when they offer a free trial.
On another issue, I would be very interested to know what institutions are stating in terms of 'self-plagiarism'. As a Psychology department, where APA formatting is very significant, it is especially important on the basis that the APA are now referring to the ethical issues surrounding self-plagiarism in their white paper (see: http://www.ithenticate.com/Portals/92785/media/ith-selfplagiarism-whitepaper.pdf).
