Answer to Question 1

Some of the actions that schools can take to combat student plagiarism include:

• Help students understand what constitutes plagiarism and why they need to cite sources properly.


• Show students how to document Web pages and materials from online databases.


• Schedule major writing assignments so that portions are due over the course of the term, thus reducing the likelihood that students will get into a time crunch.


• Make it clear to students that instructors are aware of Internet paper mills.


• Ensure that instructors both educate students about plagiarism detection services and make them aware that they know how to use these services.

Incorporate detection software and services into a comprehensive anti-plagiarism program.
