Abstract

focused specifically on “Turnitin,” a well­ known, widely used, commercially available plagiarism detection service. Pedagogy, Not Policing offers unique insight into the world of academic dishonesty, providing suggestions and tools for creating institutional and classroom cultures that are conducive to academic integrity. As noted by the editors at the beginning of the book, plagiarism, cheating, and other means of academic dishonesty are rarely “cut and dried” issues in which fault lies solely with students. This book goes beyond a common format of providing ways of identifying and punishing those who engage in less­than­ desirable academic activity, instead noting that a number of stakeholders, including students, faculty, and institutions themselves, bear the responsibility for proactively working to promote trust, honesty, and respect in the academic classroom. From and organizational standpoint, the introductory paragraphs at the beginning of each section are particularly helpful. These segments highlight noteworthy points and the purpose of each piece, complementing the information the reader pulls from the material on his or her own. An additional organizational asset of this book is that the topics run the gamut from basic definition and explanation of academic integrity, to philosophical perspectives on academic dishonesty and accountability, and ending with practical tools that readers can take away and apply in their own classrooms. Though the book could benefit from additional time spent discussing topics like graduate education and academic integrity and cultural norms, the chapters provided about each topic were informative and serve as great starting points for dialogue and thought. Overall, this book offers critical discourse and practical solutions for effectively creating cultures of academic integrity in the classroom. The principles and examples may be incorporated into any academic setting and are relevant to novice and seasoned instructors alike.
