"Education is one of the few
things a person is willing to pay for and not get". W. L. Bryan
On the purpose of obtaining a college education: "… It isn't to make money. It is, or should be, to understand ourselves and our world better. Thus, educated people make better citizens, better parents and better workers too, and therefore tend to make more money. However, that money is a result, not a purpose. I learned that in college. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone did?" Glenn Cheney in a letter to the NY Times, June 2, 1997.
“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to
work a day in your life”. Confucius
CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS
For the past 15 years
or so, I have carried out research in the area of academic dishonesty with a
focus on student plagiarism. More recently, I have become interested in the
problem of professional plagiarism within the sciences, as well as in other
ethically questionable writing and authorship practices.
