    Beth Daugerherty (English dep't) and Sue Constable and Carrie Scheckelhoff (both Education dep't) may be interested in this topic.

From a Discourse of Deficiency to a Discourse of Faith - 2 views

  •  
    Excerpt: There is a discourse of deficiency around students-what they can't do, how "ill prepared" they are-that gets aired at nearly every faculty meeting. We read it in op-eds online. We hear it in state legislatures and in copier rooms. It is the air we breathe, especially if we teach in community colleges. Certain populations of students are considered more deficient than others. These populations are partitioned by institution type and placement level, rather than by race or class. Community college students and students who have landed in developmental classes are considered the most deficient of all. We blame the high schools they came from and, sometimes implicitly, we blame them.

Why Plagiarism Doesn't Bother Me At All: A Research-Based Overview of Plagiarism as Edu... - 1 views

  •  
    Gerald Nelms explains how student plagiarism is very often less of a cut-and-dry crime than it appears. Research shows that successfully avoiding plagiarism-while also paraphrasing and integrating material from sources-requires complex skills that take time and practice to develop. We can see instances of plagiarism as opportunities to help students learn these skills.

    My research on teaching and learning in higher education began when I was hired as a graduate assistant at the Searle Center for Teaching Excellence, at Northwestern University, back in the late 1990s. The center had a large library room with tall bookcases lining one wall and deep filing cabinets against another.
