Hi folks, <br><br>Here's a separate question. Has anyone else been finding more plagiarism cases than usual this quarter? I usually find two or three, but this quarter it shot up to seven. (I teach a whole class period about avoiding plagiarism, and we go over it four other times in class throughout the quarter, so I don't think it's ignorance . . .)<br>

<div>Hey all,</div>
<div> Just weighing in here, but if the students don't
follow the requirement I can't see how we have any choice but to fail
them. I think Gray's ideas are very compelling. As to the other
comment, I don't really understand the argument about it being unfair to
require students to submit papers to safe assign, but I will say it is unfair to
the other students, who did fulfill the requirements, to not penalize those
students who don't.</div>
<div> We aren't doing them any favors if we don't hold
these students to standards. That kind of thinking has led to innumerable
problems and to a general lack of responsibility I think we can all agree has
had disastrous consequences. Also, this is a great and relatively painless
way to learn a valuable lesson.</div>
