Connie,
I am writing in response to your current blog on academic integrity. It was great to read how much you valued this assignment. I am also an educator who has not had any experience with anti-plagiarism software. Like you, I didn’t realize that the software would actually catch everything that I plagiarized online the first time I submitted it and it did! It seems as though you were as surprised as I was by the results.
The story that you included about your student’s experience with copying in your class really made me speculate about the frequency of plagiarism and how challenging it is for educators to catch. One can imagine how difficult discovering plagiarized content in student work would be when you are in the position to constantly read many student compositions. I am glad that you have a new tool to utilize in the future.
Lastly, I really liked your reference stressing the importance of “prevention rather than detection”. I couldn’t agree more that focusing on this idea is crucial right now. I really enjoyed reading your blog on this subject!
Sincerely,
Seanne Danielak
