The article "Four reasons to be happy about Internet Plagiarism" http://www.stu.ca/~hunt/4reasons.htm has a catchy title, but the message is interesting. The author believes that teacher's reliance on term papers as an evaluation mechanism is challenged by the ease of Internet plagiarism.
He also decries the emphasis on grading, the fact that knowledge “is stored information and that skills are isolated, asocial faculties” and that we should concentrate on encouraging students to learn how scholarly research really works.
It is an thought-provoking article, with examples.
