PLAGIARISM: YOU DUNNIT? When grading assignments, professors at three varsities and one poly are using software that can detect chunks or phrases that have been lifted from other sources and passed off as the student's own work.
Have you knowingly plagiarised from other sources for an assignment?

By Hillary Clinton In her autobiography, former First Lady, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, revisits the public and private wreckage from her husband's affair with intern Monica Lewinsky, and concludes that what her husband did was morally wrong but not a betrayal of the public. She says she knew nothing until one Saturday morning in August 1998 just before Bill Clinton gave his deposition to the grand jury. "I could hardly breathe", she writes. "I started crying and yelling at him, 'What do you mean, what are you saying, why did you lie to me?'"

Freak: Inside the Twisted World of Michael Jackson
By Ed Breslin Superstar Michael Jackson has been formally charged with sexually molesting a child, and has even dangled his son over a Berlin hotel balcony, so what else about Wacko Jacko - apart from his face - is twisted? Well lots. If Michael Jackson is considered a freak, it is his own doing, for he masterminded many of the publicity stunts. This book shows you his desperate attempts to stay on top, even as he spirals out of control downward. A must for anybody interested in the King of Pop.

SINGAPORE: The Education Ministry is looking at ways to give teachers here more say in assessing their students.
Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said this when he was quizzed by students at the Kent Ridge Ministerial Forum at the National University of Singapore.
Mr Tharman said the Primary Six Leaving Examination (PSLE) is already a local exam.
And, in two years, junior college students here will sit for an entirely Singaporean version of the "A" level exam.
Mr Tharman said: "We will do the same for our 'O' levels. We are in the process of working on that now that we have got the new 'A' level system coming into place. Over time, there will be a greater independence in the conduct of the 'O' level exam, in the syllabus and the design of the 'O' level exam itself."
But the Minister said there are still pluses to being under the Cambridge umbrella.
Mr Tharman added the MOE is also looking to give teachers a greater say in assessing students.
"If you look at the mother tongue learning, for instance. As we move towards greater emphasis on speaking and listening, for the oral dimension, we'll have to consider what is the best form of assessment at the end of the year - a 15-minute test whereby the child comes in sweaty palms, sits down and tries very hard to be his normal self, or give the teachers a bit more leeway to assess the child's proficiency in the spoken language over the course of the year? It's a complex issue which we are studying. Let's experiment by having some schools move faster than others." - CNA
