One outcome of the \u0026ldquo;Committed to Mental Wellness\u0026rdquo; platform that he and Evan Gillon, the undergraduate SGA president, ran on last year, the document was aimed at helping to improve learning environments at Georgia Tech \u0026mdash; focusing primarily on mental health and inclusivity.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis fall, \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/sga.gatech.edu\u0022\u003ESGA\u003C\/a\u003E collaborated with the \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/ctl.gatech.edu\u0022\u003ECenter for Teaching and Learning (CTL)\u003C\/a\u003E, the Mental Health Student Coalition, the Georgia Tech Pride Alliance, and other student groups to ensure a wide variety of input on the project. Following months of feedback and fine-tuning,\u0026nbsp; SGA announced the release of the Best Practices Sheet on \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Btof8xeh0Wa\/\u0022\u003EInstagram\u003C\/a\u003E Feb. 9. The best practices are designed \u0026ldquo;to ensure that our academic environments promote the comprehensive health, well-being, and intellectual vitality of all Georgia Tech students.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJoyce Weinsheimer, director of CTL, worked closely with SGA on the Best Practices Sheet, gathering feedback from 40 tenured faculty members on an early draft.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAccording to Aladesanmi, much of their\u0026nbsp;feedback was incorporated into the final version. At Weinsheimer\u0026rsquo;s suggestion, Aladesanmi built the document around the student-professor relationship and knows it won\u0026rsquo;t be nearly as effective without emphasizing that dynamic.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;It\u0026rsquo;s kind of at the heart of this document that this is from students to professors and faculty,\u0026rdquo; he said. \u0026ldquo;If professors are the ones controlling learning environments, then these are the things they should take into consideration to make sure that their learning environments are promoting healthy behaviors.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAladesanmi encourages students to give the sheet to their professors and administrators to demonstrate that they believe in the importance of these best practices.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHowever, the work doesn\u0026rsquo;t stop there, as both CTL and SGA agree that the Best Practices Sheet, once disseminated, should open up a dialogue between students and faculty to be truly effective.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;We need the students to be visible partners in this process \u0026mdash; and the worksheet is a good tool to start the discussion,\u0026rdquo; said Weinsheimer. She says that CTL hopes to work with SGA on other projects to further engage faculty members with what\u0026rsquo;s expressed in the Best Practices Sheet, including videos where students discuss what it would mean to them if these practices were actively implemented in classrooms. Weinsheimer wants to use these kinds of resources in workshops, meetings, and on the CTL website to communicate to faculty members why these best practices are important to Tech students.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAladesanmi said that by the end of the semester, he wants to have placed copies of the sheet in every school and major building, as well as in the hands of a wide variety of faculty and administrators. Therefore, as students start to see the Best Practices Sheet around campus, they should make sure to take a look at what it has to say. It was built on and will continue to evolve based on student feedback, and while Aladesanmi emphasizes that the sheet should by no means stay with students, there is no better place to start.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe new guidelines are aimed at improving learning environments at Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The new guidelines are aimed at improving learning environments at Tech."}],"uid":"34946","created_gmt":"2019-03-04 14:10:21","changed_gmt":"2019-03-04 14:30:41","author":"gwyner3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2019-03-04T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2019-03-04T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"618721":{"id":"618721","type":"image","title":"Best Practices - page one","body":null,"created":"1551709716","gmt_created":"2019-03-04 14:28:36","changed":"1551709765","gmt_changed":"2019-03-04 14:29:25","alt":"Best Practices - page one","file":{"fid":"235519","name":"bestpractices1.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bestpractices1.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bestpractices1.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":343104,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/bestpractices1.jpg?itok=cHP8g9ho"}},"595343":{"id":"595343","type":"image","title":"SGA logo","body":null,"created":"1504188874","gmt_created":"2017-08-31 14:14:34","changed":"1504188874","gmt_changed":"2017-08-31 14:14:34","alt":"","file":{"fid":"226885","name":"Screen Shot 2017-08-31 at 10.13.59 AM.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-31%20at%2010.13.59%20AM.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-31%20at%2010.13.59%20AM.png","mime":"image\/png","size":56915,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-31%20at%2010.13.59%20AM.png?itok=49HbsIsn"}},"618722":{"id":"618722","type":"image","title":"Best Practices - page two","body":null,"created":"1551709782","gmt_created":"2019-03-04 14:29:42","changed":"1551709782","gmt_changed":"2019-03-04 14:29:42","alt":"Best Practices - page two","file":{"fid":"235520","name":"bestpractices-back.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bestpractices-back.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/bestpractices-back.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":281250,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/bestpractices-back.jpg?itok=1YzQrTwl"}}},"media_ids":["618721","595343","618722"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/sga.gatech.edu","title":"Student Government Association"}],"groups":[{"id":"1214","name":"News Room"},{"id":"63046","name":"Student Government Association (SGA)"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"}],"keywords":[{"id":"166922","name":"sga"},{"id":"166923","name":"student government association"},{"id":"4349","name":"best practices"},{"id":"9211","name":"learning environments"},{"id":"172462","name":"CTL"},{"id":"180690","name":"mental health coalition"},{"id":"7820","name":"Pride Alliance"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[{"id":"71871","name":"Campus and Community"}],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:stucomm@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EGrace Wyner\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EInstitute Communications\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"614999":{"#nid":"614999","#data":{"type":"news","title":"Register Now for January Teaching Assistant Orientations","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Where do I start?\u0026rdquo;

Read on for their strategies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhy Do Students Plagiarize?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAt Tech, there are two primary reasons for plagiarizing. Some students do it because they consider the class unimportant, as\u0026nbsp;it isn\u0026rsquo;t one of their core classes. The other major reason is lack of time.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Most of the students I see plagiarizing are trying to get everything done within their packed schedules,\u0026rdquo; said Andy Frazee, associate director of the Writing and Communication Program in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication. \u0026ldquo;They\u0026rsquo;re stressed, tired, and think they can\u0026rsquo;t get it done in time, so they copy someone else\u0026rsquo;s work.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDavid Smith, senior lecturer in the College of Computing, noted that non-computer science students often view his classes as a formality, and some fail to learn anything because of this. These students copy work done by others or ask others for help with their programming assignments and fail\u0026nbsp;to learn the programming skills they need to succeed.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Every semester, I\u0026rsquo;ll get students whose failure to do their own work causes them to have to come back and retake my class,\u0026rdquo; Smith said. \u0026ldquo;I had one student have to repeat my class several times, because he refused to do his own homework, and had no idea how to solve the problems placed before him on the tests.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow Do You Spot It?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAccording to Frazee, the first question any professor should ask himself when presented with suspicious work is, \u0026ldquo;Does this answer the question I\u0026rsquo;ve asked?\u0026rdquo; Plagiarizers often take their material from sources where the question answered doesn\u0026rsquo;t match the one being asked by the professor. So, a paper or answer that fails to fit the question is a warning sign of plagiarism, Frazee added.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAnother sign is sudden changes in the spacing or fonts in a student\u0026rsquo;s work. So, for example, if the font size or type isn\u0026rsquo;t consistent, this can indicate that information was copied and pasted from another document, Frazee said.\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMany professors use plagiarism checking software, such as Turnitin, especially when it comes to work submitted online. These \u0026ldquo;cheat catchers\u0026rdquo; \u0026mdash; a term that Smith uses to describe the software \u0026mdash; will let professors know if portions of essays or homework were copied. However, Smith acknowledges the limitations of these services.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;We first introduced a cheat catcher in our computer science classes in 2000,\u0026rdquo; Smith said. \u0026ldquo;But, the result was that students progressively learned how to get around the program. They weren\u0026rsquo;t learning anything, and those we caught faced severe academic penalties.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat Can You Do to Prevent It?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJust one instance of plagiarism can have a tremendous impact on a student\u0026rsquo;s academic career. For example, it\u0026rsquo;s unlikely that the student will ever be able find teaching assistant positions or internships on campus, Smith said. For this reason, he does all he can to try and prevent plagiarism from occurring.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOne way he accomplishes this is by basing his tests (worth 45 percent of his grades) off his homework, which is only worth 15 percent. Students who cheat on the homework usually fail his courses as a result.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Just waiting for plagiarizers to get caught and then punishing them doesn\u0026rsquo;t work,\u0026rdquo; Smith said. \u0026ldquo;I advocate a two-pronged approach, dissuading people from cheating through incentives, as well as punishing plagiarizers after they\u0026rsquo;re caught. There\u0026rsquo;s no room for negotiation once a student is caught, so it\u0026rsquo;s essential to keep as many students as possible from trying in the first place.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWeston reminds all professors to include a copy of the Student Honor Code at the beginning of their syllabi and to go over the correct formatting for citations and references. It is her hope that this clarification can prevent cases of ignorant plagiarism and prevent many of the cases that come to OSI.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAnd to help mitigate the dangers of time crunches, Frazee has a solution.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;You have to be willing to be a little flexible,\u0026rdquo; Frazee said. \u0026ldquo;While setting deadlines is important, you should make it clear to your students that you can be approached if work is piling up. If you\u0026rsquo;re willing to give an extra day or two to complete an assignment, it can encourage students to write their own work.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information about dealing with plagiarism at Tech, visit \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/osi.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/osi.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E.
