The successful faculty member is one who is ready to experiment, and is willing to take risks with the technology. Educating the Teacher About Plagiarism Janet comments about one of the special challenges in teaching faculty and students to use electronic resources. Now that you can go grab things from the Web, the age of the 'term paper' is over. But I hate to have our students go on to graduate school without putting together a term paper. Although it seems futile, Hurlbert says there is a way to avoid plagiarism problems.
Plagiarism is in the assignment design.
Faculty need to build projects into their courses. For example, if students are asked to evaluate new situations and make recommendations, they must understand and analyze the subject in a way which requires independent thinking. The Web might be used to seek out data which will be used in the decision-making process, but the recommendation or solution isn't available from electronic sources.
