Video: ‘A Plagiarism Carol’
I found this really funny, and quite well put together, video outlining the pitfalls of plagiarising text this morning. You’ll need to press the ‘CC’ button (shown below) to get the captions/translation (unless your Norwegian is better than mine, which I’m sure it is!).
YouTube: Plagiarism Video
There are many ways an Institution can raise the student awareness of plagiarism and this is one of the best I’ve seen. If you’ve come across something similar, better, or even worse (document, video, guide, etc) then please leave your comment below with links if possible.
Absolutely brilliant! And, yes, as a Norwegian speaker I was doubly amused. Here in Sweden we often use a system called Urkund, which is excellent at catching plagiarism. At Södertörn University College where I am a guest lecturer, students have to turn in papers to both my email address and urkund email address. It gives me a score out of 100% as to how much they’ve plagiarised.
Hilarious and perfect. Got the message across without being preachy.
Now that is something I’ve never heard before. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant!
