WRITING AND WRITERS: PLAGIARISM:
Cutting and Pasting: A Senior Thesis by (Insert Name)

A friend who teaches at a well-known eastern university told me recently
that plagiarism was turning him into a cop. He begins the semester
collecting evidence, in the form of an in-class essay that gives him a
sense of how well students think and write. He looks back at the samples
later when students turn in papers that feature their own,
less-than-perfect prose alongside expertly written passages lifted
verbatim from the Web.
<snip>
Not everyone who gets caught knows enough about what they did to be
remorseful. Recently, for example, a student who plagiarized a sizable
chunk of a paper essentially told my friend to keep his shirt on, that
what hed done was no big deal. Beyond that, the student said, he would be
ashamed to go home to the family with an F.
As my friend sees it: This represents a shift away from the view of
education as the process of intellectual engagement through which we learn
to think critically and toward the view of education as mere training. In
training, you are trying to find the right answer at any cost, not trying
to improve your mind.
Like many other professors, he no longer sees traditional term papers as a
valid index of student competence. To get an accurate, Internet-free
reading of how much students have learned, he gives them written
assignments in class where they can be watched.
