Self-Plagiarisation

[v***@p.com]

Who regulates PLAGIARISM? States? Accrediting Associations? When I
was in college someone got suspended for a year for submitting his OWN
previous paper to a SECOND course. Now, I understand some of the
"executive" (or "working" schools encourage students to submit the
SAME paper to several courses.

Basically it's the schools themselves--- although a school which
routinely encouraged students to plagiarize would be in danger of
losing (or not getting) its accreditations. (There are several layers
of accreditations.)

What exactly is an "executive" or "working" school.

Schools that basically try to have a full-time
curriculum for folks who are also working full-time.

"Self-plagiarism" is an oxymoron. Plagiarism is the appropriation of the work
of another person. Colleges have rules governing academic integrity, and one
of those rules may be that students may not earn credit for multiple courses
with the same work.

Do you have any examples of schools that allow this?
