Title: No wagging fingers--just practical talk
Product review: I required this of my first-year college writing students. Some were a little put off by the repetition and the "I'm just one of you" tone of the author, but most felt the information was valuable, and, for some, it was brand new. It's one of the few books that speaks to plagiarism in terms of the value of honesty instead of the threat of punishment. I'm glad my students have it, and I'm encouraging them to hold on to it for its help with other courses, since it gives great info about study groups, lab work, take-home exams, etc.
