Abstract

Recent news reports ranging from national network broadcasts to traditional academic research journals have reported on the growth and ease of cheating in America’s classrooms. While teachers at all levels should become more knowledgeable on how to recognize plagiarized work, higher education can take a lead and educate future teachers, current teachers, and college faculty on plagiarism detection and prevention. In fact, some scholars challenge faculty to better understand plagiarism and how and when it occurs and further, to pass on that understanding to students through better constructed assignments which discourage plagiarism (Jeffes & Janosik, 2002; Kennedy, 2004).
