Plagiarism: What Should a Teacher Do?

“You're in your office, you're in front of the t.v., you're holed up in the library—wherever—with that well-known stack of papers—and you get that sinking feeling that something is very wrong with the paper you're reading. It isn't the authentic product of the putative writer. What do you do?” [note: the entire article is at http://wrt-howard.syr.edu/Papers/CCCC2001.html]

Keynote speaker: Dr. Rebecca Moore Howard, an Associate Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University, will discuss this, authorship, and other topics related to writing. The title of her presentaion is: Alternatives to Plagiarism: Teaching Critical Reading Skills.
