Workshop on Plagiarism
I attended the workshop on Plagiarism sponsored by CSU on May 8, 2013. One of my challenges as an international student was preventing plagiarism in writing a research paper. Due to different writing conventions between two countries, I had difficulty with keeping academic integrity. Through this workshop, I was able to understand more about preventing plagiarism in research and academia.
I attended two session in the morning: (1) To Cite of Not To Cite: The Plagiarist's Dilemma by Scott J. Moore (Investigative Scientist in the Office of Inspector General at the National Science Foundation) (2) How the Office of Research Integrity Handles the Complex Topic of Plagiarism was delivered by John E. Dahlberg (HHS Office of Research Integrity Director of Investigative Oversight). Their presentation was based on the real cases of plagiarism. I understood the virtues of academic integrity in terms of honesty, justice and fairness, and appreciation of excellence in others.
I also attended two sessions in the afternoon: (1) Copyright and Ethics in Scholarly Publishing (Sara Rouhu, ACS Publications) (2) Panel Discussion on Teaching on Plagiarism. Though I was not involved with publications, I was made aware of the importance of avoiding plagiarism through Ms. Rough's lecture. The panel discussion gave me an insight on what to teach my future students about academic integrity. Students need to be aware of academic integrity and continuously educated about the virtues of academic integrity. One of the panels cited Plato during presentation, and it gave me a clear guidance about what to teach about academic integrity.
But if you ask what is the good of education in general, the answer is easy: that education makes good men, and that good men act nobly. Plato
