Documentation:Distance Learning Support/Plagiarism

From UBC Wiki

Plagiarism

Most often, plagiarism arises out of misinformation, lack of good judgement or complete lack of awareness about what it is. For this reason, students need information and resources as much as they need information about policies and consequences related to academic misconduct.

If you suspect a student of plagiarism, you will want to know about:

  • the resources available to you.
  • the resources available for students.
  • UBC's policy and process for dealing with plagiarism

Your Resources

Guidelines, links to policy docs, and reference material for faculty. Also the site for information about Turn-It-In, the online plagiarism detection system adopted by UBC.

Resources for Students

UBC Policy

TurnitIn

Instructors of distance education courses, as in on campus courses, may want to use the plagiarism detection service, subscribed to by UBC, called TurnItIn

Guidelines for Instructors are posted on the UBC site for the Provost and VP Academic.
