A student can be taught that plagiarism is not necessary. It is more time consuming and more difficult to plagiarize. Students can be taught to develop their own ideas and use reference to other sources, sparingly, to support the thesis of the writing. Teaching the morality of non-plagiarism, argument development and citation is an effective means for the course instructor to confront the issue. You should include ideas from other sources only when those ideas add weight to your argument.
Plagiarism is an academic reality.
It will happen in all classroom settings. The task of the instructor is to teach the reasons and skills to avoid plagiarism and to discipline it when necessary. The Ten Common Principles. University of Phoenix. Administration, Policy and Orientation, Faculty Development Workshop.
