Turnitin's Plagiarism Spectrum identified the ten most common types of plagiarism and then elicited instructor feedback on the frequency and severity of these types. But do students agree? Do they see these types as acts of plagiarism? And is there a disconnect between what they believe and what they do in regard to plagiarism?
This webcast examines the results of a Turnitin survey of over 1800 students conducted in late 2012. We also share key findings about how students view plagiarism and discuss the implications of these survey results for educators.
