Guiding Students from Cheating and Plagiarism to Honesty and Integrity is a useful and fascinating book. Guiding Students provides a host of useful tools that can be applied immediately, as well as information that’s essential for putting some, if not all, aspects of plagiarism into context. However, there are also some rather striking gaps to the analyses provided, and some elements that will be difficult for adjuncts to apply.
Let us begin with the numerous positives to Guiding Students. The overall structure is the first of many such aspects. There are five parts to the book. These are both numbered and titled, and move logically through a sequence of topics. Part I is titled “Focus on Honesty and Integrity,” Part II “Leadership in Action,” and so on. This strong focus on the positive helps reframe the battle over plagiarism. It becomes one of many ways schools and teachers can help build character, rather that what it too often seems like: a burden that darkens the day and turns sunny dispositions cynical.
