Mr B MuteweyePortfolio Section D: Ethics, Copyright and IPR in Computer labsIn the normal course of their teaching duties, several lecturers have reported finding pirated software improperly installed on the computers in the computer labs. Lecturers also found that students have copied and pasted materials from various Internet resources into their own assignments and reproduced them as if they were their own. This, they find, is a common problem among their students. Before taking a decision on what should be done, lecturers asks you, as students, for your inputs to decision-making. Submit your answers to the following questions in either a one page Word document (aim for around 500 words) or a PowerPoint presentation of no more than 8 slides in the Assignments tool:
What are the ethical and IPR issues that the faculty are confronted with?

    In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report, or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or misrepresentation, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to requiring you to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a…

    For instance, if the student has been caught before or if the student was knowingly plagiarizing are just a couple of factors involved. However, plagiarism, no matter the circumstances, is a serious violation against the Honor Code. It is not to be treated lightly but is not to be treated so severely. My ideal effective and education sanction for a plagiarism would start off with a letter of apology to the professor and a talk with Dean Beach or another Hollins staff member who the student can hear about academic integrity. If the circumstances are more unfavorable, then I would consider stricter sanctions but for this question I am assuming this is not the…

And there are these other group of people who intentionally copy someone else’s work. No matter whether it’s intentional or unintentional Plagiarism is a really big offence and one could be behind the bars for doing so.
