Handouts to accompany the presentation can be downloaded here:
From the BBC News website, a very short article, on a student who sued his university for threatening to withhold his diploma upon discovering he'd plagiarized all through his courses that could be used to start off a discussion on plagiarism in academic settings.
From Professor Miguel Roig of the Department of Psychology at St. John's College, an extensive guideto ethical writing practices, including descriptions of self-plagiarism and a section on "Ethically questionable citation practices".
From the Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition, an interesting article by Robert Tomsho, about the consequences of discovering plagiarism within the background chapters of multiple doctoral theses.
From Chemical and Engineering News, "A Massive Case of Fraud" by William G. Schulz, about a professor found to be plagiarizing or falsifying dozens of journal articles.
