7. Lecture 1BUAD283: Management Information SystemsSlide 7 Cut-and-Paste Plagiarism From the New York Times, 3 September 2003: “A survey of more than 18,000 students on 23 college campuses indicates a growing incidence of Internet plagiarism among U.S. college students. According to the survey, conducted by Rutgers University management professor Donald L. McCabe, 38 percent of respondents said they had been involved in "cut-and-paste" cheating within the past year. This compares to 10 percent in a similar, though smaller, survey conducted three years ago. McCabe attributed some of the rise to growing ignorance among college students about what constitutes proper citation. Many of today's students, he said, "are convinced that anything you find on the Internet is public knowledge." Indeed, nearly half the students who participated in the survey said they did not consider copying several sentences or even full paragraphs without citation to be cheating.” http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/03/education/03CHEA.html http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/03/education/03CHEA.html
