I am pleased to see that this issue was addressed. Regardless of whether the title 'paper' or 'essay' is more appropriate, plagiarism is still plagiarism in either case. It is bad and, I agree, it does need to stop.
But on an entirely different note, I wanted to say that I really liked the fact that Ms. Linder has taken the opportunity to use the OG as a way of sending out this message. I would love to see more posts from teachers either here, or on blogs ( e.g. Ms. Harris' personal blog), as a way of opening up more discussions and providing another way for students and other teachers to connect with each other. I know that we all have busy lives, but writing a post, even if it is only once a month, could be really valuable
I guess what I am trying to say is that I think that the Gargoyle should be open to teachers too. And if the gargoyle staff disagrees, I would love to see more use of blogs as a mode of sending messages to students and teachers alike.
