HELPING YOUR STUDENTS: DEVELOPING PLAGIARISM-RESISTANT ASSIGNMENTS
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Change exams on a regular basis and have multiple versions.
As you develop a new assignment, consider these three questions from Miami University of Ohio:
- How much originality are you asking the student for?
- How much imitation are you asking for?
- Where are some areas for potential plagiarism?
