A Country of Copycats? Some Professors Blame Web for Rampant Cheating; Others Not So Sure by Peter Dizikes, ABCNEWS.com: Matthew Warshauer was sure he had caught a plagiarist. Warshauer, a professor of history at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Conn., had assigned a paper to a class on 19th-century American history, requiring the students to do original research using primary-source documents. But when he started looking at one student's work, he immediately sensed something was amiss.

Should Students Be Allowed to Get Away with Plagiarism? by Matthew Warshauer, assistant professor of history at Central Connecticut State University. Editor's Note: Mr. Warshauer participated in a Faculty Senate Committee focused on rewriting Central Connecticut State University's Academic Misconduct Code.
