My Word! Plagarism and the College Culture
Susan Blum
This is a very good primer on college students in general and plagiarism. As an college admin who deals with 5-7 cases of Plagiarism at a large university ( our system is much different from Saint U') it seemed basic for me. I hear most of the reasons day in and day out. What I was looking for when I first saw this book advertised was a a more in depth look at those reasons and I got a little. Ms. Blum skimmed the service of those reasons and gave some very realistic recommendations for facing this problem head-on
I am currently putting together a course/workshop for faculty on recognizing and handling academic integrity and will definitely use this book as well as recommended to it faculty as a resource.
Plagiarism is a very big concern today and this book offers a very good introduction and coverage of this issue on today's college campus.
