While most might view dyslexia negatively, Horner views it as a way of understanding the world that in some ways is superior.…

    Plagiarism in education seems to operate under a very different set of rules from the pragmatic fields of politics or business and can create emotional responses that deploy highly-charged metaphors such as The Plagiarism Plague (Bowman, 2004), or “Winning Hearts and Minds in War on Plagiarism” (Jaschik, 2008). In education, plagiarism is “seen as a transgression against our common intellectual values, carrying justifiably bad consequences for those guilty of the practice” (Isserman, 2003).

The process of analysing and synthesizing ideas, and reformulating them in writing, is seen as central to learning.
