Plagiarism

A Rutgers University study reports that 54% of 4,500 students surveyed at 25 high schools admitted they plagiarized from the Internet. Software can help teachers catch sinners by searching the web for text similar to a student’s work. Examples of such software are rSchool Detective www.ablesoft-inc.com, WordCheck www.wordchecksystems.com, and Glatt plagiarism software www.plagiarism.com. However, the publication eSchool News quoted Elliott Levine, the spokesman for AbleSoft, Inc., which publishes rSchool Detective, as saying that the software can’t catch everyone. The best deterrent is for teachers to check students’ work as it evolves and to be leery of reports that magically appear at the due date. The plagiarism survey was conducted by Prof. Donald McCabe dmccabe@andromeda.rutgers.edu, who specializes in academic integrity. For more information about online plagiarism, see www.plagiarism.org. •
