Footnotes
1(slide 3) "Internet plagiarism is a growing concern on all
campuses as students struggle to understand
what constitutes acceptable use of the Internet. In the absence
of clear direction from
faculty, most students have concluded that 'cut & paste'
plagiarism - using a sentence or two
(or more) from different sources on the Internet and weaving
this information together into a
paper without appropriate citation - is not a serious issue.
While 10% of students admitted to engaging
in such behavior in 1999, this rose to 41% in a 2001 survey with
the majority of students
(68%) suggesting this was not a serious issue." Center

3) "A study of almost 4,500 students at 25
schools, conducted in 2000/2001, suggests cheating
is also a significant problem in high school - 74% of the respondents
admitted to one or more instances
of serious test cheating and 72% admitted to serious cheating
on written assignments. Over half of the students admitted
they have engaged in some level of plagiarism
on written assignments using the Internet." Center

5(slide 7)"Faculty are reluctant to take
action against suspected cheaters. In a 1999 survey of over 1,000 faculty
on 21 campuses, one-third of those who were aware of student
cheating in their course in the last two years,
did nothing to address it. Students suggest that cheating is
higher in courses where it is well known that faculty members
are likely to ignore cheating.." Center
