************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** From: "Scott Grubbs" <scottgrubbs@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <K12ADMIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sat, 15 Mar 2003 16:29:44 +0000 Subject: Plagiarism As we are well aware, plagiarism is a problem throughout the education system from elementary school through the doctoral dissertation. Below you will find, I hope to your dismay, some popular sources that students use to download papers to turn in, rather than do the honest, right and scholarly thing and research and write the assignment themselves. For a price, students can purchase a plethora of papers on virtually any subject studied (including education issues, comparative education, teaching methodology, education law and educational leadership) and pass them off as their own to unsuspecting teachers and professors. And these are but a few: http://www.termpapersonfile.com http://www.fastpapers.com http://www.essaysite.com http://www.termpaperexpress.com ********************************************************* LEARNING BEGINS AT BIRTH The author, June R. Oberlander, of the new 4th edition of the early childhood developmental parenting resource, SLOW AND STEADY GET ME READY, answers preschool questions on the website below. This inexpensive international best-selling book helps maximize the intellectual growth of young children (birth to age 5) to prevent them from being left behind. It also helps children with special needs. http://www.home-school.com/experts/preschool ********************************************************* and for those less than ethical Ph.D/Ed.D candidates: http://www.serve.com/doctor Of course there are anti-plagiarism sites available for faculty: http://www.plagiarism.org http://www.findsame.com http://www.canexus.com/eve/ You may want to share this information with your teachers and your colleagues. (Of course I would not want to plagiarize, either.
