However, considering the particular format of Expos essays, this form of plagiarism is rare and easy to catch, as the papers do not meet the requirements.The second form is more common but is relatively easy to determine, as parts of the paper will generally appear to be far more formal, and the change in writing style is quite apparent. All students must hand in their sources along with their essays, so if you sense that this has happened, you can check through the sources to find the match. If the student is wise enough to copy from a source that they do not put in their folder, a simple web search for a particular phrase will usually find a match. Most students do not know how to use databases, so they do not generally copy from journals, and finding an entire book on a suitable paper topic is rare.What to do if you suspect plagiarism: Ignorance is not considered a defense against plagiarism, so you may report a case even if a student claims that he or she is unaware of the error. If you suspect that a student is attempting to submit work that he or she did not write, you need to make copies of everything. Make copies of everything that the student submits for that paper (sources, invention, and the paper itself). You also need to make a copy of the source from which the paper was copied, if available. Consider making copies of previous assignments, so that you have something to compare the plagiarized draft to. The third form of plagiarism listed above is the most common, but is also the hardest to prove as finding the original essay can prove quite difficult. This form is usually indicated by:A dramatic improvement in writing style/development/ /MLA between drafts, between papers, or between the diagnostic essay and the first submissionA lack of invention (especially if the student was present for most of the work)A sudden change in topic that you were unaware ofIf you think plagiarism has happened, ask around the department to see if anyone has had papers on similar topics and compare the two. Ask your advisor to look at the student?s record to see if they have taken the class before ? the student may have taken a paper from an old classmate, and you can show the paper to the previous instructor. You should also look at the student?s sources, as students will often forget to change the date of access for web citations. What happens if you don?t have solid proof?Sometimes you will suspect a student of plagiarism but you will not be able to locate the source from which they copied their essay. You do not need to have the source in hand ? usually the reason for your suspicion is enough. Thus, if you have a paper that is poorly written save for two excellent paragraphs, this situation could be enough to make an accusation. Similarly, if a student has performed badly on a paper and the next submission shows unbelievable improvement, this change could also be evidence enough. In-class writing can be useful in these cases; if you have already handed back the student?s draft and do not have a point of comparison, in-class writing may provide you with some evidence. The important thing to remember is to keep copies of everything; if you suspect something, make a copy and wait to see if the next paper provides the evidence that you need.How to deal with an instance of plagiarism:There are three main ways to tackle plagiarism. However, before you decide on any one of these you can always talk to the student and probe them about the issue. Oftentimes a student will display a complete lack of knowledge about the selected topic, which can strengthen your case, or the student will break down and confess. If you do choose to do talk with the student, make sure that you have witnesses so that they can verify what happens and support you if the student becomes confrontational. Talking to the student should help you to decide which way to deal with the situation. However, you may choose to adopt one of the following responses without first talking to the student:Ignore it. It may be that the paper is failing anyway, and if you are unsure if there really was any plagiarism involved, you may wish to fail the paper without mentioning plagiarism. However, if you decide to take this route, make sure that you keep copies for yourself in case you later change your mind.Handle the situation yourself. You may decide that you do not want the Honor Board to decide on the course of action, and if so you may decide on the punishment yourself. If you choose to do this, you must still inform the Honor Board, but you can recommend a particular sanction.Turn the case over to the Honor Board and let them handle the affair. If you decide on this response, you will be called upon to present your evidence (you can request that the student is not present) and the Board will decide upon an appropriate sanction.The Honor Board:If you decide to report an honor violation, or if you think that you may have a case, you should contact Professor Phil Anderson at and ask for advice. If the case appears to be reasonable, fill out the report form, send a copy to Phil, and make a copy for yourself. Phil will then contact the student concerning the violation and if necessary a hearing will be scheduled.You will be contacted to present your evidence, after which the board will decide upon the appropriate course of action.Even if you turn the case over to the Board, they will listen to your advice and concerns, and they are more than willing to check over your evidence to see if you have enough to make a case before you begin any official proceedings. If the student is found ?not guilty? there are no consequences for you as the instructor. If the student feels that you now have an unfair bias against them you can request that your advisor or Dave Smit read the papers. However, while it is unwise to make unfounded accusations, you should feel confident in your suspicions, as they are most often correct.Ways to prevent plagiarism (or to help you in detecting it):Always do at least one piece of in-class writing, preferably near the submission date as this gives students less time to change their topicMake students bring a draft or an outline to you in conference so that you can see the work in progressCollect outlines for homework Make sure that you collect plagiarism statements from your students so that it is clear they were informed of the policyThoroughly explain how to cite and when to cite sourcesDo several in-class activities regarding different forms of plagiarism so that students are aware of what it is and how to avoid it Make it clear in your course policy statement that any paper that does not have sufficient invention work will fail, and do not be afraid to enforce this policyUseful Links:Report form for honor violationsKansas State University?s definition of plagiarismLists things that need to be tagged in essaysColor-coded example of plagiarism and how to avoid itEmphasizes the correct way to cite sourcesDefinition of plagiarism from the Faculty HandbookBasic guidelines for reporting an honor pledge violationStandard penalties Indiana University?s Honor CodeExamples of acceptable and unacceptable paraphraseInformation regarding plagiarism and the InternetDefinition of what constitutes ?common knowledge?Suggestions for ways to avoid plagiarismUC Davis?
