Structuring Assignments

One of the most proactive steps faculty can take toward preventing plagairism is in how we design our writing assignments. Assignments that require multiple drafts and/or are broken down into a series of parts take much more effort to plagiarize. Constructing assignments where success is reliant upon knowing certain course knowledge and/or having attended class also make finding an appropriate paper on an online paper mill more difficult.
