U.K. teachers: Web plagiarism a serious problem

Only in the UK?: USA students have been stealing each other's work since the dawn of time. I read about this problem in 1998 (regarding using the web). In college, students had copies of essays and tests for others to "study".

Supposedly, back in 2000, there was a tool teachers could use that would search the web for so-called copied essays. Professors have been using them for years.; Posted by: Eriamjh Posted on: 01/21/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
