Plagiarism by Type of Assignment
level
assignment
type of
plagiarism
Global Media
Studies
intermediate
research paper
cut and paste
from the Internet
Media and
Society
elementary
application paper,
synthesis paper
copy from another
student, rephrase
another student’s
work
Problem with Integration into
ICON
• impossible to identify the matching
paper
– student copies the work of another
student in another section
– student copies the work of another
student in a previous semester
– student hands in his own paper from
another semester
Prevention and action
• go over examples + college policy; repeat
warning before each assignment is due
– the problem of “facts”
– repeat students
• turnitin.com submission is required for a grade
– class ID and password posted during the first
week of classes
– explain what turnitin.com is + convenience
factor
• initial contact and interview
• reporting
