I begin each course by reading my uber-strict plagiarism policy. I also
announce that I hold the recond at two local schools for number of
plagiarist found in a single semester. (Which is true.) I put the fear of
god, me, and the dean in them. I discuss the moral, ethical, and educational
reasons not to plagairize. Later, I dedicate a class to paraphrasing and
citations.
The number of cases goes down every year. In fact, I have had only one case
this year, in a rough draft, and the young woman was just poorly
paraphrasing.
