| Synopsis: |
All university teachers encounter plagiarism sooner or later, and can deal with it most effectively if they have a solid understanding of the issues surrounding it. Plagiarism in Higher Education enables such an understanding. This well-written, competently argued and thoughtful book brings together an internationally renowned group of experts. Each chapter poses a question about an essential aspect of plagiarism, then examines the central theoretical, ethical and technical questions which surround it. The answers provided are rarely unequivocal. However, readers will be able to say, 'I'd never thought about it that way before, but now I understand what's happening in my classroom'. |
