Examples of plagiarismOh oh … at Seneca!
![Page 7: Language, Culture and Academic Honesty Mara Bordignon Seneca Libraries](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032519/56649f505503460f94c72dfe/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Reasons for “Cheating”
Higher grades
Avoiding failure
Higher when marked on a bell curve
Perceived low risk of getting caught
Unaware of rules ... broken inadvertently… ignorance of what defines “plagiarism”
Culture of AH tolerated or punishments minimal
Pressure to compete with peers
(Canadian Council of Learning)

“while maintaining an awareness of cultural predispositions on the part of multilingual students, we must be careful how we interpret the behaviour”
(Sowden)

Cultural Differences
China & Japan: “Communal ownership of knowledge”
China: “good students do not challenge their teachers or other authorities, but faithfully copy and reproduce them”
Asia: “achieving group consensus is more important than demonstrating one’s own understanding and abilities”
(Sowden)

Tips for structuring assignments which have a research component:
Structure assignments that promote higher level thinking
Emphasize the importance of Academic Honesty … in subject outlines, assignment/projects, verbally in class, in your myseneca subject page … every opportunity in your interaction with students!
Ensure Seneca Libraries has the required resources to support your subject.
Clearly direct students to appropriate resources.
If necessary request a library session customized to the research needs of your assignment and/or talk to a librarian for other options.
Place material that will be in high demand on reserve or create an online course readings list.
Build manageable ‘steps’ into research-based assignments.
