Comments on plagiarism: At least one homework paper
that was turned in ( plagiarism.doc ) was very obviously
heavily plagiarizing my key from last year. I have highlighted (in gray) paragraph organization and sentence structure
that was very clearly "cut-and-paste" from last year's key.
As has been repeatedly stated in course materials, this is
unacceptable. I want students to totally understand what the statistical analyses mean, and by learning to phrase it
in their own words, I can be more assured this is happening. I recognize that there will be some key phrases that will
tend to be appear repeatedly (there are a relatively few ways that you can correctly state an interpretation for a
confidence interval), but it should be short phrases that are memorized, not entire paragraphs.
I have suggested that students avoid looking at prior keys while they are actually writing up the answers to their homework.
