Becstarr : Academic honesty again

Attended an interesting morning as a guest at the First Year Experience WG's meeting on academic honesty. It's a frustrating topic in many ways, but an interesting question because there are so many facets, not least of which is the time factor, in questions like "how much time can we afford to / do we want to put into prevention and detection, and then into prosecution?" and "how much time do we want to spend on teaching students about this rather than on actual subject content matter?". So much more to say on this - perhaps a proper write-up elsewhere is in order.

In other matters, today I realised that a good way to develop my Spanish might be to read articles whose contents are easy to guess, such as "¿Qué debes hacer si han hackeado tu sitio web?"

Becstarr : Dry dry dry

Moved from the cut and thrust of abattoirs and the mushy bubble of nutrition to... a day or two on academic honesty (avoiding plagiarism, etc). I know it's important, but ye gods! It must be one of the driest topics around. I'd love to spice up the text or add more images, but the project people aren't enthusiastic about that, so I'm just going to get it done as quickly as I can and move back to the fun stuff.
