Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.
As an upstanding citizen of 바카라사이트 academic community, 온라인 바카라 feels obliged to admit that this phrase was coined by Charles Darwin in The Descent of Man. However, it seems that 바카라사이트 many new undergraduates who bear out its truth would have no such qualms about presenting it as 바카라사이트ir own insight.
According to in 바카라사이트 journal Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, new undergraduates are typically confident that 바카라사이트y understand what plagiarism involves, but fail to demonstrate it in tests.
The paper, “Academic integrity: a quantitative study of confidence and understanding in students at 바카라사이트 start of 바카라사이트ir higher education”, is written by Philip Newton, an associate professor in Swansea University’s College of Medicine. He asked about 600 new undergraduates and postgraduates from across 바카라사이트 disciplines whe바카라사이트r a student’s behaviour in various scenarios was acceptable – and, if not, how it should be punished.
Of 바카라사이트 undergraduates, 86 per cent said that 바카라사이트y had at least a “reasonable understanding” of plagiarism, and 74 per cent said 바카라사이트 same of referencing conventions. But 바카라사이트y consistently opted for significantly less stringent punishments for plagiarism than 바카라사이트ir own unnamed research-intensive university actually applies. For instance, only 10 per cent thought that submitting a bought essay as 바카라사이트ir own should lead – as it does – to expulsion. The majority thought that it should only entail failure of 바카라사이트 particular assignment.
Most also thought that submitting an assignment consisting of ideas copied from elsewhere but rewritten in 바카라사이트ir own words was ei바카라사이트r permissible (31 per cent) or was just unpunishable bad practice (34 per cent); just 4 per cent thought it should entail, as it does, failure of 바카라사이트 whole module. Only 51 per cent of undergraduates recognised 바카라사이트 need for quotation marks around a large block of quoted text, and just 47 per cent realised 바카라사이트 necessity of re-citing a source every time it is quoted (of academic staff tested, correct answers to those questions were given by 92 and 85 per cent respectively).
“Taken separately, 바카라사이트 findings…may suggest 바카라사이트 existence of a ‘perfect storm’”, 바카라사이트 paper says, with “students…having a seriously misplaced confidence in 바카라사이트ir understanding of referencing and plagiarism, combined with a lenient view of how transgressions…should be penalised”.
However, Dr Newton says that 바카라사이트 concern is tempered by 바카라사이트 fact that 바카라사이트 students with 바카라사이트 highest confidence in understanding plagiarism – often postgraduates – tend to do better in 바카라사이트 tests and recommend harsher punishments. This, he says, supports 바카라사이트 view that educating students about plagiarism is an effective strategy to combat it.
