抄襲這檔事,並不是只發生在台灣學生身上。要很中肯的說,美國學生也是一大票在搞抄襲。抄襲的基本定義是四個句子都一樣但沒有標示出處,這在美國是很嚴重的事情,我們的syllabus都有個制式的規定:
Every student must respect the right of everyone to have an equitable
opportunity to learn and honestly demonstrate the quality of their learning.
Therefore, all students must adhere to a standard of academic conduct,
demonstrating respect for themselves, their fellow classmates, and the
educational mission of the University. As a student attaking this class:
I will not represent someone else’s work as my own.
I will not cheat, nor will I aid in anothe' s cheating.
I will be honest in my academic endeavors.
I understand that if I am found responsible for academic misconduct, I will
be subject to the academic misconduct procedures and sanctions as outlined in
the Student Handbook.
Failure to adhere to the guidelines stated above may result in one of the
following:
Expulsion: Permanent separation of the student from the University,
preventing readmission to the institution. This sanction shall be recorded on
the student's transcript.
Suspension: Temporary separation of the student from the University for a
specific period of time.
我每學期不認真抓,大約可以抓出十個(一班五十個學生),
我同學比較強(畢竟她是美國人),她說大約有2/3的學生作業都是抄來的。
不過我們都不會真正舉報學生這類的行為,畢竟花時間又花精神,
通常是給學生比較低的成績罷了!
要怎麼抓學生抄襲呢?美國有個網站,turnitin.com,教授在網站註冊之後,學生必須先將作業傳到這個網站,讓系統掃描過之後,網站會把結果寄給教授,學生有沒有抄,一看就知道了。
我都是用手動的,就是把學生作業的某部份,我覺得有疑問的,copy到google上面,有沒有抄一下子就抓出來了。另外,有些美國學生很懶,抄來的部份不但一句不動,連底色字型都不變。很多被我抓到的案例,都是某部份文字的底色是淺藍色,這一看就知道是從wiki上直接剪下來的。
例子太多了,要說實在是說不完…
