 Avoiding Plagiarism
Detecting and Preventing Plagiarism
March 1, 2006
Plagiarism is a major issue in courses that require writing. Technology makes
plagiarism easier than ever before, and many students arriving at Clark don't
understand what constitutes plagiarism, and why it is not OK to copy and paste
text from a web site. In this session, faculty discussed a variety of approaches
to detecting and preventing plagiarism, framed by some brief introductory
comments by:
Gwen Arthur (Goddard Library), who discussed the library resources that
available to educate students about citing sources appropriately; Judy Miller
(CETL), who suggested some strategies for designing assignments that make
plagiarism less likely; Cheryl Elwell (ITS), who discussed technological methods
for detecting plagiarism; Kevin McKenna (Academic Advising), who reviewed
institutional policy and what to do if you suspect plagiarism.
