【雅思聽力】遞交研究生論文(4/4)

And what happens if they find that a student's cheated? Well, in extreme cases the student can be expelled from the uni. But expulsion can take a long time and give the uni bad publicity, so it doesn't happen much. An alternative is for the student to be failed for the whole course, but usually they just fail that paper. Yeah, I've never heard of anyone being expelled for cheating. Oh, it does happen, but you don't always hear about it. You know, the student involved's embarrassed, and the uni wants to protect its reputation. And what else can be done to reduce the amount of plagiarizing happening? Well, now some unis are putting less emphasis on papers done during team and going back to written exams where there's much less chance of cheating. Oh, like those tests we used to do in high school, all that tension and watching the clock? Yeah.They thought about introducing oral exams, but they'd be too time-consuming and expensive for undergraduate courses. Generally, unis take the attitude that prevention's better than cure, so they explain to students what plagiarism is and how to avoid it. That's the long-term solution. Anyway, it's not always easy to show for sure that someone's committed plagiarism in an essay. Even with this new software? That's right.
