Plagiarism Prevention

One of the most common problems in education today, particularly with the widespread use of electronic media, is the issue of plagiarism; i.e. representing the work of someone else as one's own. Several different mechanisms may be employed in this course to discourage such activities. These include the use of;
Reflection on Blogger - reflections are indications of a students' individual learning. As such, the faculty has a responsibility to read each reflection carefully and to evaluate the level of communication
Zoomerang - students will be asked to fill out surveys and quizzes on Zoomerang. It is assumed that they will have access to course materials in this process
Peer to Peer assessment - Breeze - since this portion of the course is "live", plagiarism is not likely to be a big problem.
