It also answers such tough questions as: Why do students plagiarize, and why don't faculty always report it? ; Why are plagiarism cases so hard to manage? ; What if researchers themselves plagiarize? ; How can we design better learning assessments to prevent plagiarism? ; When should we choose human detection versus text-matching software? This nonjudgmental book focuses on academic integrity from a teaching and learning perspective, offering comprehensive insights into various aspects of plagiarism with a particular lens on higher education to benefit the entire campus community." --
