Plagiarism is a policy that I strongly believe in. I clearly state the Plagiarism policies in my announcements. I even go the extra mile by telling the students that I check and report all offenders. In one of my classes, on the very first week there is a “Piracy” assignment that can be found at Yahoo answers. Still with these warnings I get a paper each new class with the information, word for word. The worst part of it all is that the opinion is incorrect. I have a complete rebuttal for the wrong answer. I have even had a student ask me if she could do extra credit for the “Zero” she earned. That has never worked so far. I do understand if a student has some information that is missing a citation. In these cases I will ask the students to give me the citation.
