Plagiarism: What Do You Value?

When students use another person's intellectual property without proper citation, they are not only guilty of robbery, but also cheat themselves out of a positive learning experience. In Plagiarism: What Do You Value?, interviews with both teachers and students spark a frank discussion of plagiarism that explores the topic from many different angles. Examining the various forms of plagiarism, why it occurs (many students aren't even aware of the fact that they are plagiarizing, especially with so much publicly available information online), how it's detected, and the consequences of being caught, Plagiarism: What Do You Value? goes beyond simple finger-wagging, offering a thorough guide to the when, where, why, and how of referencing sources that is both practical and necessary. Highly recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (E. Gieschen)
