St. Rose has a whole policy on plagiarism. It's honesty policy had specific guidelines as to what exactly plagiarism was. Some of the things were purchasing any information from anyone or anywhere, copying word for word from something, and even paraphrasing someone else's work. St.Rose pretty much defines academic dishonesty as taking someone else's work and putting your name on it. Consequences are first up to the professor, and what he or she wants to do after they find out the student has cheated. After the professor desides to do something about it, they put in a report. If the student has more than one report on their record, they could be expelled out of the college of st rose. This policy isn't much of a shock to me. I agree with all of it pretty much and it reminds me a lot of high school. At my high school we had a stricked policy about plagiarism and they warned us that college would be even stricker. I had heard from a lot of people that if you were caught cheating once, you were thrown out of college. So it's nice to see you get a second chance I guess. I wouldn't change the policy at all. I think you get what you deserve if you cheat. It's not really fair to anyone.

That's a website that can take any text on the computer and search it in all documents it can find and see if there are any matches. It's the new way to find cheaters easier.
