i was a university lecturer teaching a large foundation subject. at the start of semester i would show them how to plagiarise, summarise and obfuscate an essay — on-screen in real-time. it was lots of fun. we also showed them how our assessment practices were resistant to cheating (using a mixture of oral presentations, reflective writing, monitored testing and group moderation). it seemed to work well with very little plagiarism — except for those students who ignored (or missed) the message.
