Plagiarism is a hotly debated topic in the Middle East. Because 'plagiarizing' is not taught or even acknowledged in the local culture, many new, incoming students to the American University in Cairo (AUC) find it outlandish to be penalized for 'copying-and pasting.' Something that is expected and accepted when doing research papers in public universities in Egypt.
But some professors are finally taking a stand in the fight against plagiarism- AUC being at the front lines.
Want to learn more? Attend the Listening Session, at AUC's New Cairo campus on Sunday, December 9 and Wednesday, December 12 at 10 a.m. each day in the BEC building, room 1060.
