Going the Way of the VCR
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A teacher posted this comment on the plagiarism thread:
“Teachers are reluctant to assign papers because so many research papers contain information obviously copied and pasted from online sources. Keep in mind, many teachers have 130-150 students and reading stolen papers … is very frustating.”
I’ve heard other reasons for teachers not assigning papers, including a lack of time to grade them and the subjectivity in assigning a grade.
Is the research paper an endangered species?
