Oh... it's easy to see if the work is \"original\". Anyway, students have to pass their finished paper through a program that will state what percentage of their work may be plagiarized, and it can't be more than 15%. It's also easy for markers to detect parts of the paper that may have been copied without referencing.

Penalties are harsh... immediate failure with almost zero recourse. So don't try :nunchuk:

I guess for some when you need to pull the facts in, cannot escape even though try to change some wordings ..guess such cases should be ok ba.

Plagiarism of blocks of text is the easiest to detect with the various software programs available now. My daughters tell me it's used it for all written assignments, not just theses.

I thought you meant originality in thought and content - that is harder to detect except by questioning. If the student can't answer questions about why the research was structured and scoped in that way, or why a particular method was chosen, or how the data was collected, limitations of the research, etc, then those will be red flags. And the supervisor should also bear some responsibility as he/she should have discussed the project with the student along the way - if it wasn't original enough for that level (the degree of originality required is highest for PhD but less for Masters or undergrad projects), then the supervisor should have said so earlier.

The curious thing about doing research papers is that you are supposed to do lots of readings and talk about them, ie. state their ideas, but you MUST acknowledge them by a reference to where you read them from.

So there is NO shame in copying. Just that you should give credit to the sources.

And now there free digital citation managers - so convenient! Didn't have such things when I was doing my MA. I discovered them only when my kids got to university.
