Combatting Plagiarism
What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism-Proofing Assignments - 14 points from Doug Johnson
Our time as educators is better spent creating assignments, especially those that involve research, that minimize the likelihood of plagiarism in the first place. Rather than making assignments that can be easily plagiarized and then contriving methods for detecting or reducing copying, why not do a little work upfront to design projects that require original, thoughtful research?
Plagiarism from the Nauset Public Schools Research and Style Manual uses revisions from a passage to demonstrate how plagiarism occurs and how it can be prevented by taking meaningful notes and having a point of view which needs to be supported.
