Links to scare you . . .
- . . . just in case
you don't believe all those stories about students lifting papers from
the
internet, here are just a
few
sites to show otherwise (some of the links on this list are
dead,
but it is an enlightening resource anyway). Margaret Fain
produced
another list for the Kimbel Library (Coastal Carolina University),
too (there is some overlap between the two lists, but together they
represent
a frightening trend--check out the prices, too). Some of these
sites
have interesting "politics" (such as those on "School Sucks"),
and overall they represent a challenge to our pedagogy. There are a
number
of sites and programs to help teachers determine whether papers are
plagiarized,
and Bruce Lelend's "Plagiarism
and
the Web" page offers links to some of those sites and some
strategies
to help teachers avoid giving the kind of assignments that easily lend
themselves
to plagiarism.
- See "Plagiarism
Links
for Instructors" for a fuller discussion of this issue, a list
of
resources, and links to sites that both help you identify online
plagiarism
and suggest ways for you to help your students learn how to write their
own
papers!
- An alarming article
in Slate, "Adventures in
Cheating:
A Guide to Buying Term Papers On Line," (12/11/01) offers
advice about
how to do just that, evaluating the papers acquired from free and for
purchase
on-line paper mills and suggesting the best way to go about
cheating.
It includes the addresses of the latest "hot" sites.

While
it is true that several of the companies listed below own most of the
others,
each division tends to maintain its own website with its own
announcements,
ads, and ways to order desk copies. So I've listed them separately.
