Stopping Plagiarism
Copying others' work and claiming it as your own is wrong. A guide to teaching this.
· Honesty
· Integrity
Step1
Tell students to look up the meaning of ‘plagiarize’ and to write this down. Include in a letter to their teacher, why it is wrong to plagiarize, and its consequences. Make sure you establish this rule and consequences you and the school will exact on perpetrators.
Step2
Devote a considerable amount of time in the week (class work & homework) doing this task as this will impress upon students the importance of avoiding plagiarism. Students should restate any rule, such as a “failing grade’ that you have made if they are caught passing someone else’s work off as their own.
Step3
Check to see if students’ work is plagiarized. Enter the first sentence or a thematic sentence of the work into a search program such as Google or Yahoo and these will find instances of these word combinations online.
Step4
Impress upon students that as well as getting a failing grade it is dishonest and theft.
