In my uni, the policies differ from department to department, and also the nature of the assignment that was given. If it's on a normal homework assignment, usually it's zero credit for that assignment, with subsequent offences leading to an automatic failing grade, and probably some comments inserted into your school record.
However, if it's something like a term paper, those are dealt a lot more severely, with an automatic failing grade, and the possibility of being dropped from the university as well.

they have Plagiarism detection software, it will scan your assignment and will go to the net and reports the percentage of the "Plagiarism".
You take the notes from the net and use your own words to describe things.

QUOTE(azarimy @ Jan 22 2013, 04:34 PM) i dont care for such people. do read my words properly. i have over 400 other students to care about; those who didnt cheat, didnt commit plagiarism, didnt commit any academic offense. i have legal duty to protect them against cheaters. if i do not push for the severest punishment, then i would not be protecting the interests of the other 400 students. see my point? yes, it's just a FYP. but for architecture FYP is the standard that puts u as a practicing architect. when you apply for work, the FYP is the main thing that employers look for, not the CGPA. I would think that even regular assignments should be properly cited, or references given where credit is due, much less an FYP. Our school had an incident awhile ago which ultimately was resolved by failing the offenders' paper (which they plagiarized), but not before they went through a hearing and were given a chance to defend their case. To make sure all students are aware of the seriousness of plagiarism, our school fairly recently began to require mandatory online "modules" on what constitutes as plagiarism, which students have to complete to pass any 1st or 2nd year course, so they can't claim they have no idea they plagiarized, or "accidentally" plagiarized, as it's sometimes a pretty fine line to cross when it comes to things like self-plagiarism. |

QUOTE(azarimy @ Jan 21 2013, 10:36 AM) I'm wondering how other schools handle cases of plagiarism. Currently I have on my hand two very serious plagiarism cases where the students took drawings from previous graduated students and try to pass it off as their own. In our case, we're trying to push these two final year students to be kicked out of the school because it's so serious. We're not talking about copying/cheating in exams, but taking other's works as their final year project (FYP), thesis or graduating dissertation. taking the whole of pass grads work is total plagiarism. Expel/ban from uni for few years might be appropriate. If it's 1st offence my uni might let you go with a warning + redo. Then it's all downhill from there. I always try to keep mine within 15%, which I do. So far in my faculty I haven't heard drastic expels/bans though. I have heard such news from other faculties though. our uni takes plagiarism quite seriously. |
