1. I honestly don't think there is anything you can do. It's all about the moral values of the individual.
ReplyDelete2. Writer's Blocks Writing Software helps students with continuing with the writing process. It helps you get your thoughts organized into a well organized essay.
1) When your having a problem writing, you should be able to go the writing center and get someone to further assist you with your writing, for example if they see your trying and you have so much completed on your own,they should be able to help your come up with more ideas and I think that will cut down the plagerism problem at Dillard.
ReplyDelete2)English Software is the best writing tool product of 2009. This software enriches people grammer, teaches you how to correct your mistakes and never make them again. When writing this tool also gives you ideas such as a list of words to help make your writing more interesting to the reader. Now who wouldn't want this product in their home!
1. If Dillard has such a probem with plagiarism, the university should discontinue assigning written work; either that, or just come to accept that it's not going anywhere.
ReplyDelete2. There's a website launched from Purdue University that shows students how to write correctly. It's called OWL. For advertising purposes, it's wonderful!
I totally agree with adrienne
ReplyDelete1. I don't think there's anything you can do about plagiarism beside give the student a F.
2.Poynter Online is a writing tool that is dedicated to teaching and inspiring journalists and media leaders. Poynter is a school that promotes excellence and integrity in the practices of craft and the practical leadership of successful businesses. It stands for a journalism that informs citizens, builds community, and enlightens public discourse. In our publishing, we strive to practice the kind of journalism we preach.
I agree with Adrienne if a student results to total plagiarism then the student should receive a F for the work that they turned in because there are other alternatives if you get stuck while writing a paper besides copying someone elses work.
ReplyDeleteScholarWord MLA Edition by Xumbrus is a very good program to help with writing papers. It helps editing and also also writing a organized essay.
Malarie: I haven't heard of ScholarWord MLA Edition. Sounds like its good software; I have to try it one day.
ReplyDeleteDe'Ja: I agree with the writing lab would be helpful, but I just think that it requires too much effort on the part of most people who would rather use plajarism.
Chilla: I do agree with you in that if people want to copy work from other people and pass it off as their own, then thats what they are going to do.
1.From my point of view, the only thing DU can do is encourage students not to do it. Explain the consequences and why it is not recommended. Also DU can motivates students to write by telling them positive things about there writing. Motivation is the key to success. Other wise i agree with Chillia and say just give them a F.
ReplyDelete2. Writing tools, such as acdemic notes and compare and contrast can be very helpful. Acdemic writing is a note taking page with helpful reminders that assist students while studying. Compare and contrast is a series of graphic organizers for examining similarites and differences among ideas or concepts.
@ Lauren Lemonious ----> I totally agree with your answer to question number one.

1. some students may not know if they are plagiarizing or not, so in order for dillard to solve this problem, they should first teach us students the difference between rewording, plagiarizing and quoting.
2. www.whitesmoke.com is a website dedicated to helping college students as well as others who are not that good in english develop better writing skills and also to develop a better understanding when writing essays.

1. First off, the university needs to realize that plagiarism is everywhere, not only at Dillard. Second, I don't think there is anything they can do about it, except for failing whomever plagiarizes. Teachers should also talk about the importance of not doing so as well, this may not stop it, but it might help.
ReplyDelete2. Check out Writing Fix on the web! It's a helpful site with a lot of interactive writing prompts. Free online help with prompts, lessons and workshops.
Plagiarism is not good to do you should put everything you words. At some universities you may get kicked out or receive a F in the course. For example my Psychology instructor told my class that if when turn in a paper with all this big words and it looks like we did not write it ourself that we may receive a F in the course, but it is very easy to open up a thesaurus or go to thesaurus.com to get better vocabulary words and word choices other than the words that we been using in high school to write our papers. No matter if instructors realize it or not students always plagiarize or going to.
ReplyDeleteThere are many helpful writing tools online. For example poynter online and essayplan.com These websites and many more would help you write your paper and increase writing skills. Most students dont realize it but microsoft word is very helpful and makes writing mmore easier.
1. I don't think there is anything you can do besides giving a failing grade.
ReplyDelete2.Writer's Blocks Writing Software helps students write papers for class. It helps organize information.
Malarie: The ScholarWord MLA Edition sounds useful to college students.
ReplyDeleteDominique Bryant: that is true. some students just take workd out. If students will avoid plagiarism.
Jasmine Hardman: that is useful to students who are planning on going to medical school.
1.If teachers gave topics for us to write oin that only reflects our opinions and not stuff that can be easily found on the web that would greatly reduce the amout of plagiarism
ReplyDelete2.I've used OWL before.
Dorreall- thats a good idea, but i think if your writing is not good even changing a few words wouldn't be enough to convince a teacher you did the work
1. i think that it has been made very clear the consequences of plagarism. i wouldn't go as far as expulsion but failing the class is minor for this.
ReplyDelete2. Owlpurdue is an internet tool for students to use when writing to help make it more muscled and cut out scaffolding. Dr. Mell, my english teacher, recommended that to her students.
I think there is no way to solve the problem of plagiarism on DU’s campus. If a student is caught plagiarizing the professor should give the student a F for the semester. If the student has a problem writing they should seek help by going to the writing center that is available on campus.
ReplyDeleteThe Writing Center Online is a writing tool that has prepared a series of hand-outs about different aspects of the writing procees. I would recommend this helpful tool to all students that is having trouble writing.
1) To begin with I honestly feel that students are constantly plagiarizing because there are not serious enough consequences behind the wrong doing. Instead of just a failing grade, those who choose to plagiarize should be failed all together, fined, and also thrown out of their current institution.
ReplyDelete2) Smart Author is a very helpful software that helps develop professional essays, research reports, articles, etc.
@ Dominique, I agree there some students who lack the ability to distinguish the difference between rewording and plagiarizing.
@ Lauren, great suggestion, but I’m more than positive writing assignments aren't going anywhere... So I guess the university will have to live with the fact that plagiarism is here to stay, rather they approve of it or not.
@ De'ja, I am aware of how effective the help in the writing center is, but what I do know is that students are often encouraged to go and seek extra help at the writing center. The majority of the time they go against this advice. I’m saying this just to say students should begin taking advantage of the writing center as resources available to them.
To solve the problem of plagiarism on Dillard University’s campus is really impossible because regardless of what you tell a person to do there going to do it whether are not they want to. So to me theres really one way of stopping it.
ReplyDelete2.Using Dictionary.com can be really helpful to a person and it's not consided as plagiarism.

I agree with Adrienne because, there is nothing you can do about it. Just suck it up and move on with your life.
ReplyDelete1) I believe it is something that wont go away , it has be a reacurring act of laziness from students in middle school , high school , and college . So , its based on ones moral values . But punishmen should be suspension .
ReplyDelete2)This website: http://www.greece.k12.ny.us/instruction/ELA/6-12/tools/index.htm , gives you a clear concise idea of what to do to improve your reading , writing , and thinking skills .
@ Kimyana : I definitely agree with your staemnet on plagiarism , you cant control and punishing a student will be best , served with a F in the class .
ReplyDelete@Jasmine Hardman : I also agree with you stating that plagiarism is a personal choice .
- i think nothing can be done about plagiarism. All the university can do is warn the students and let them know what the consequences are. After that it is the students choice.
ReplyDelete-there are many helpful online sites thatwill help student with writing skills.
Essay plan, dictionary.com, and the writers lab are all helpful.
jamie, i agree with you, people are going to do it even if you warn them
ReplyDelete1.) Well, just as Dominique mentioned, i believe th 1st step is making sure that all students are fully aware of the differentiation between plagiarism, quoting, and rewording. I know it may sound funny, but even at the college level, many students still don't know the difference. Secondly, the reality of the situation is that no matter how much its emphasized or how severe the consequences may be, the fact is some people will still do it for one reason or another, whether it be because they can't possibly think of enough information to write a 15 page paper,there isn't enough time to do an essay, or simply because a person is just too lazy, it will still exist. The sad thing however is due to the advancing of technology, there is really no way to prevent this issue.

ReplyDelete1. I agree with Raina. If one starts when the assignment is given then procrastination and plagiarism will not be a problem. Starting on time can give one a planned assignment.
2. I would recommend www.cabrillo.edu
1.One idea for a solving plagerism is to make sure that when you are writing your papers to cite everything that my be accused as someone elses thoughts. To me that is the safest way to avoid plagerism. Therefore, every student should be taught how to cite. That's all I have.

ReplyDelete1.
One way to stop plagiarism is to do prewriting. Most of the time, students copy other people work and count it as there own because they are writing at the last minute.
2.
A writing tool that i found was dictonary.com. If you are confused about what a word means or needs an alternate word, dictonary.com can help you.

ReplyDelete@ Angell Luter... Informing students about the exactly plagarism is won't give them an excuse to chear.
@Ekebnta Okorn... I will need to use that website as a tool...My writing is horrible
@Alexandria Moore... Writing fix is such a great website... I just looked online about it
@
Tan-Talaysha Bailey
ReplyDelete1. A way to stop plagarism is by making students use other sources other than computers because thats where most students get their plagarized work from. However there is nothing that can really be done to stop plagarism.
2. Adverstisement: Are you in need of help when writing essays? Is hard for you to get the writing process started when told to write a persuasive essay? If so then go to essaypunch.com and purchase their interactive online essay writing package. Soon you will be writing essays better than your teachers.
I agree with Adrienne, Lauren and Cherelle.
1.Plagiarism is a serious offense with technology being so available, provided your ideas for solving this problem on Dillard University’s campus.
ReplyDeletePlagiarism, done purposely, is a serious offense. Some people blatantly disregard the morals and values that they should have when writing papers. However, some plagarism is done accidently because students do not know the proper methods of citing sources.
2.Research writing tools on the web. Write an advertisement for the product and post your findings.
The best writing tool that I have found and that I use often is the Online Writing Lab (OWL) on the Purdue University website. Although it is an university website, anyone can access the website. The OWL is a great writing tool because it has helpful tips and guidelines for citing sources in several formats including MLA, APA, and others. It breaks down the information into different sections so you don't have to spend all your time searching the whole site to find the specific topic you need help with. The OWL has helped me to effectively cite and give credit to any work in my papers that was not my own. I strongly recommend this site to my peers.
@ Lauren Lemonious
The OWL is a great tool! It os my favorite website to get help with my papers.
@ Chillia
Although students who purposely plagerize should be punished, I sometimes had problems with citing sources so I feel the professor should use his/her discretion to determine whether or not the plagarism is intentional.
@ Chardai Grays
Prewriting is a way to definitely avoid plagarism. If you do your work on time, you will be less likely to rush and stick information you find online into your paper. If you don't procrastinate you will have more time to formulate your own ideas.

To solve the problem for plagiarism on Dillard University's campus I think that the university should enforce the policy on plagiarism. I think that students that plagiarize should be put on academic probation, and the third strike should be expulsion from the university. The professors and anyone else in authority should enforce these acts.
This website (http://www.greece.k12.ny.us/instruction/ELA/6-12/tools/index.htm) is a GREAT writing tool.
Since I use the website to do many writing assignments, this is what it can help others do who are in need of help with writing, comprehending, and taking notes.

@Adrienne: you dont think that there is any other altercations for PROFESSORS and people in charge to do BUT give the students F's?
ReplyDelete@Lauren Lemonious: OWL is actually a great source, i use it every now and then when im not being lazy.
@Dominique Bryant: i agree D. many people dont know when they are plag. they may think they are rewording or doing something a little different from what others think plag is.
1. At my high school all students were required to submit all typed information to a website called turnitin.com. And what this website did was measure the level of plagerism in the paper...I honestly feel as though this website should not be needed, because students should feel a sense of self-worth and understanding of the value of hard-work...I know i wouldn't want anyone to think that my thoughts were someone elses...or that my own thoughts weren't good enough, because essentially that is what plagerism is saying..."my mind isn't smart enough so let me take someone's thoughts"....O NO!!!
ReplyDelete2.For students interested in medical grant writing and learning how to write more scientifically Venderbilt has a website geared towards that. The website has samples as well helpful tools to get you started off. The website is http://www.vanderbilt.edu/oor/funding/tools.php

ReplyDelete#1) Plagiarism is a very serious offense that isn't just a problem here at Dillard, but also a problem at many other universities across the nation. Most high schools should have at least informed their students that if you do decide to plagiarize in college, what the consequence might be. After attending three different high schools myself, I've gotten backthe same answer: that there is zero tolerance for plagiarism on the collegiate level. After that has already been instilled in you, you tend not to even consider plagiarism as an option. Zero Tolerance should be enforced, we're adults, and should be held accountable.
#2)Dr. Mell redundantly reminds us of the infamous cite she loves, and would love for us to use it, "OWL." It a resource that helps you outline your writing, and makes it easier to write a paper. Pretty useful might I add.
1.Plagiarism is a serious offence with technology being so available, provide your ideas for solving this problem on Dillard University’s campus.
ReplyDeleteThere is really no way to stop plagiarism people should just have honor and know that if their work isn't really their's then they shouldn't pass it off as so.

1. I don't believe there is a real way to prevent plagiiarism but there is a way students can avoid plagiarizing. If students would cite their sources, do parenthetical citation, and be creative, there will be no need to plagiarize.
ReplyDelete2.Writing.com is a website that helps anyone with any type of writing that they need help with.
Cherise Thomas,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you i do not believe that there is a way to avoid plagiarism.
Destiny Dickens,
That is an interesting advertisment for writing tools.
T Monae,
Your solution for stopping plagiagism is interesting.
1.I dont believe there is anything you can do about it cause people atre gonna doi waht they want any ways
ReplyDelete2. Fast help with writing is a web site that helps you and it gives you a variety of writing terms to use
1. Anything that you believe is plagiarized you should check it on turnitin.com but honestly if you did the work yourself you shouldnt be worried about plagiarism because it is extremely rare for someone to accidentally plagiarize another persons paper.
ReplyDelete2. I always use the owl at purdue. I have been using it since I was in middle school.

If yo teacher tellin u "Fool u need to learn how to write!" then u need to check out da owl at purdue ya heard me. Da owl be bought dat drama wuzzam!
To Cherise,
ReplyDeleteThe only real way to prevent plagiarism is to do your own work correctly.
To Bridget,
I feel ya on the hard work thing and for those of us who do our own work it seems disrespectful to make us turn in our work at a website that checks for plagiarism.
To Bianca,
Now I know of some people who got jail time for plagiarizing so I dont think its because of the degree of punishment but more towards the enforcement of it.
1) To solve the Plagiarism problem on the campus of Dillard University we can start by implementing systems on the computers that track when something is copied, pasted and saved. The also are other programs for computers that allow teachers to find out when something is plagiarised.
ReplyDelete2) Writing a book, play or screenplay can be a writer's organizational nightmare. Creative writing software manages plot, character, settings and conflicts so all you have to do is create.
1. Wikipedia, Google, Yahoo, and Ask.com are just a few of the many websites students use when plagiarizing their work. Though universities have strict penalties in regard to academic dishonesty, incidents of cheating and plagiarism occur because students lack academic motivation, the use of technology aids in plagiarism/cheating, and cheating/plagiarism allows one to maximize test performance. We all know that cheating/plagiarism is prevalent in universities no matter what the penalties may be if one is caught. There is no one solution to bring to a halt academic dishonesty completely, but instructors can instill in their students how it is wrong to plagiarize/cheat and build trust with students so that they feel obligated to work hard in their papers.
ReplyDelete2. Google Docs is a well known tool used via Google to share documents online. A few perks about Google apps is that you can create spreadsheets, upload existing files and edit them online, store work there, and much more. But in order to have full access you must be have a Gmail account, if you are already a Gmail subscriber you are ready to go. Don’t be a stranger to this innovative web tool. It’s easy as 1,2,3!!!!
1) I personally believe that plagarism will happen regardless of what anyone comes up with to prevent it, because where theres a will there is a way, and college students will find that way.

ReplyDelete1.)Plagiarsm is inevitable. Many teachers, professors, instructors,etc. for mnay years have tried to stop plagiarsm of students. in result, students are to cheat regardless. As long as their are test there is going to be a form of cheating in schools. The ways to encourage students to not cheat is by giving them extra or extended help in class. Also, the teachers could make it mandatory for each student to meet with them during school hours at least once a week. The teacher could monitor the student practicing various excercies of the material that was covered in class that week.

1) i think that dillard has the best way to detec plagirism. my english teacher dr washiington told us that they used a detection method that can trace the exact source you copid and pasted. cant get much better.
ReplyDelete2)The best writing tool is microsoft word. Don't you love giving your money to bill gates? He helps us with our spell check, grammar, and tells us when our own names are spelled wrong! Its the greatest writing tool and is at a very reasonable price. You can buy it from your local walmart
-i like when jerome said that the computers should be able to track where it copied.
-the sad truth that destiny said is that there will be plagarism no matter.
-ellysia mentioned google docs..its great
-a good suggestion from christopher is to give classes on how to properly cite sources.
i know Dillard proably already has this but i would say that the workshops on plagerism should be mandatory because when everyone has to come then their is no excuse why people should plagerize because we were all told the same things about it.
ReplyDeletei agree with shei-duh microsoft word is a life saver i dont know where i would be withotu it.
ReplyDelete1. Sometimes it is hard to recognize whether or not plagerism is used. Teachers should work to explain the difference between plagerism and paraphrasing or summarizing.
ReplyDelete2. Roy Peter Clark's twenty writing tools give good tips on how to write an effective paper and help someone else in the process.
Josef: A workshop would be a good idea so that students are educated and know how to avoid the problem.
Jasmine Brandon: I don't think inevitable is the word to describe plagerism. There is always a solution.
Andrew: I have heard of turnitin.com and it is very direct with whether or not you used plagerism.

ReplyDelete1. Its ard to tell when someone is going to plagerise. Most people will use something that is off campus instead of on capus because its a small school. I dont think it would work. Students would just think of a more creative way of getting it dne.
1. I really don't think there are way to stop someone from plagiarism. Everyone has their own opinion about how they feel on this subject matter, i can't really say what to do should you fail that person or not. because if someone has cited their paper should at least get graded fairly because they did acknowledge the write. but, on the other hand if someone is trying to abuse to previledge of another writers work as their own i think they shld seek help instead.
ReplyDelete2. i really don't know i have never used any sources to help me write a paper when i got stuck. sorry
1. I don't think plagiarism can be stopped, the only way to stop plagiarism is to not give out homework.
ReplyDelete1. In order to prevent plagarism I think that students should submit there papers through my digital dropbox which is a website in which checks your work to make sure it isnt plagarized.
ReplyDelete2. The only resources I used to help me when i got stuck was a dictionary or a thesarus they became my best friends in english class

ReplyDelete1.From my point of view, the only thing DU can do is encourage students not to do it. Explain the consequences and why it is not recommended. Also DU can motivates students to write by telling them positive things about there writing. Motivation is the key to success. Other wise i agree with Chillia and say just give them a F.
2. Writing tools, such as acdemic notes and compare and contrast can be very helpful. Acdemic writing is a note taking page with helpful reminders that assist students while studying. Compare and contrast is a series of graphic organizers for examining similarites and differences among ideas or concepts.
