We sought to formulate a policy on plagiarism recently.

I suggested perhaps we could copy one from somebody :)

Vivas and the examination system are supposed to detect whether the 
student has understood the subject matter and surely that is the real 
issue. In many cases essays will contain other people's ideas. If they 
have *understood* those ideas surely that was the point.

Plagiarise
Let no-one else's work evade your eyes
Don't shade your eyes
but plagiarise, plagiarise, plagiarise
and be certain always please to call it "research".

(copied shamelessly from Tom Lehrer)
