Unit 6 Text1 Schools Wise up to Ways of High-tech Cheats George Mason University instructor Anne Marchant calls them “patchwork plagiarists”—the students who copy and paste together passages from articles they’ve found on the Internet, then turn in the work as their own. She catches at least one such student every semester in their computer-science class, she said.
