TBers, 

Plagiarism and academic honesty have been repeating topics at Teaching Breakfast meetings.  Below is an updated list of web resources for faculty and students on these important issues.  As a reminder, the College subscribes to the Turnitin service (mentioned below).  For more information about this service, please contact Jim Greenberg in the TLTC at x 2701. 

The following information is copied from an email recently posted to the AARP News listserv ( AARP News [mailto:[log in to unmask]].  Thanks to Walter vom Saal for passing it along. 

 
********
The Web has made it easier to
identify and copy another's work,
and students at all levels must
understand that plagiarism is
a bad practice with potentially
dire consequences, both while
they are in school and throughout
their working career.        
 
There are many tools now available
to help instructors spot plagiarism:
