Dear Reader,
In my 25+ years as a physics professor at the University of Virginia, I have had many encounters with plagiarism. Most memorably, in 2001, I devised a computer program that uncovered more than fifty plagiarized term papers that had been submitted to my introductory physics class over a period of several years. That episode had a profound effect on my life and career, and I hope that others can learn from my experiences and find ways to deal more effectively with plagiarism.
Regards,
Lou Bloomfield
Dr. Bloomfield,
Please send me an email (dconklin58@yahoo.com) with your snail mail address so I can send you a copy of a study I did using your program. A short version of it was published in a scholarly journal and the reviewers enjoyed it.
