Teaching plagiarism

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the way forward for universities and other educational institutions in dealing with the growing problem of plagiarism. It is argued that universities should reassess how they define plagiarism and, instead of asking students to produce knowledge in their essays, they should be asked to effectively assess and manipulate existing knowledge to support an argument.
