Say no to plagiarism and copy and pasting!

Below is a link to the newspaper article that Andrew referred to in this morning's class. It really is an eye opener.

I will also post the slides that I used this morning to stimulate our discussion and I should add that the links at the end of my PowerPoint DO work, so I'm not sure why they wouldn't fire up at the end of the class today!

I enjoyed the general discussion that we had on the issue of plagiarism this morning and if you wish to comment on that or the article itself, please do.

http://www.sqa.org.uk/sqa/36434.html - this is a link to some details on plagiarism from the SQA that may be worth a look at sometime too should you have the inclination!

Tomorrow (Tuesday) we will look at answering the questions in class (I will provide some helpnotes) and next Monday (3rd) I will go over the sample answers for the 'cheating is rife' passage for you to cross reference your responses against.

See you all tomorrow at 9,

Mark
