This article by Lindsey Hamlin and William Ryan discusses the issue of plagiarism in colleges and universities. Many people believe that online classes have more opportunity for students to plagiarize and that plagiarism occurs more frequently in online classes. From different research sources, the authors found this not to be true and found that the tradition classes have as much or even more plagiarism occurring. The authors gave several examples that demonstrate the advantages online course have for preventing plagiarism, like time restraints on tests. Also, the authors provided many ant-plagiarism sites and software available to combat plagiarism.
After reading this article, I became more familiar with ways students will plagiarize and different websites and software I can use to combat plagiarism. Because I am going to be teaching math, I will not have to worry about essays and papers being plagiarized, but more proofs and projects being plagiarized by my students. I would like to give some of the website links, so others who are reading this blog can use them.
