12 Year-Old's Anti-Plagiarism Tool
Catches Its Own Creator In The Act
08/16/2004 05:00 AM

A twelve-year-old kid, looking to make sure he's one of the least-well-liked kids in his classroom among the cheaters, has written up a hack that would let teachers run student papers against a Google check to catch plagiarism. Of course, in testing out the program, his teacher discovered that the program caught the very same 12-year-old who wrote the program in a bit of internet plagiarism himself. Guess he should have tested the program at home first on his own work.

Getting Through College, Thanks To
Plagiarism
11/13/2003 05:25 AM
There have been plenty of stories about college kids cheating by buying or just cutting and pasting complete assignments for their classes, but this BBC piece includes a quote from someone claiming that she basically did that on every paper she's turned in throughout college, and is now using the same cut-and-paste method to finish up her dissertation. Clearly, that's an outlier example, but it does show how far people will go. The article includes lots of quotes from people who complain about the dumbing down of our education system that has allowed this to happen, but I'm not sure that's the case. Kids have always cheated in school. This just makes the process easier. Of course, what they don't mention is that the real punishment is already being handed out to these kids. They're attending (and in many cases paying quite a bit) four years of college and not learning a damn thing, because all they're doing is cutting and pasting.

How Bad Is Plagiarism At Universities?


How Bad Is Plagiarism At Universities? 06/30/2004 09:07 PM
When you have students suing universities when caught plagiarizing you know that plagiarism isn't always frowned upon by students. However, despite the scary language used in this article, the numbers really don't seem that ridiculous. About twenty-five percent of students admit to plagiarizing at some point or another (though, the article describes this as "cheating his or her way through degrees"). Meanwhile, 97% say they know its cheating, but 17% still think it's okay anyway. Now, it's obviously cheating, but to be honest, these numbers don't see all that high or surprising. There are always going to be students who cheat at one point or another. While the article includes anecdotal stories about students who have copied material repeatedly, the study doesn't actually address how many students chronically cheat, and how many have just done it on occasion. I'm not defending those who do it, but the article uses language that would make you think that no one ever writes their own work any more, and the numbers in the study simply don't support that.

Is plagiarism at universities out of control? Academic Plagiarism is a growing problem in the university world and is not just making headlines in the United States anymore. While some professors are morally opposed, the growing popularity of professors forcing students to submit works ahead of time to companies like Turnitin may be an indicator of of this growing problem. With more and more employers complaining about the writing skills of new hires, are we just cheating ourselves in the end?

Yahoo's Offers New Anti-Spyware Tool...
That Actually Finds Spyware
08/05/2004 03:50 AM
It appears that Yahoo heard the backlash loud and clear a few months back when they released an anti-spyware tool that just so happened to skip over adware from Yahoo partners. The latest version, built on PestPatrol's technology will now default to notifying users of both "spyware" and what they consider to be "adware" and then give the user the choice of what to do. I haven't tested the product yet, but it sounds like they're moving in the right direction. It still makes you wonder what they were thinking in offering a purposely crippled offering. People know what spyware is, and telling them that spyware isn't spyware doesn't change how people feel about it. It also doesn't make them look kindly back at the company that provided them with the bogus anti-spyware tool in the first place.

Cory Doctorow: Nate Kushner was sitting around one night when he started to get IMs from a college student who was looking to commission a term-paper on Hinduism that was due in the morning. She'd seen something about Hinduism in Nate's AIM profile and so she offered him $75 to write the paper. He wrote a silly little paper, strung her along, pranked her, and then published the whole thing along with her real name on his blog:
Laura K. Pahl: lets talk about it then

Nate Kushner: As long as you understand that plagiarism is not going to free you from the painful cycle of death and rebirth any quicker.

Laura K. Pahl: ok

Laura K. Pahl: so can u help me

Nate Kushner: I think I can. It is my duty, as we are all children in the arms of Chivas.

Shyamalan accused of plagiarism over
"Village," audiences accuse film of

08/16/2004 10:46 AM
Writer-director M Night Shyamalan (Sixth Sense, Signs) may face legal action over accusations that his latest project, The Village, was plagiarized from a children's book. The source in question: "Running Out of Time" by Margaret Peterson Haddix, published by Simon and Schuster in 1995. While the matter of plagiarism is open to debate, evidently the movie's suck factor is not. Last week, one blogger/culture crit pal was so distressed at the stinker he'd paid two digits to see in a Manhattan theater that he text-messaged me halfway through -- "OMG THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER." He was not alone in this assessment. L ink (via MeFi, which includes a handy list of other films accused of plagiarism in recent years)
