11th June 2012 Article on Plagiarism in The Guardian by Sue Littlemore

Universities need to tell students the rules about plagiarism.

“The annual report of the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA), due to be published on Thursday, is expected to show that complaints from students about harsh treatment by their universities over cheating have risen sharply in the past three years.”

Wellington College pupils should be well-prepared when they arrive at University having had sessions from the Library staff on academic honesty and plagiarism.

See the Referencing and Research page of the Intranet for more information and in particular read the Ofqual Guide to Plagiarism for Students.
